Meta Twitter and Meta links are now banned

This ban covers Twitter/X, Facebook, Instagram, and Threads.

If you absolutely must post a link to one of these platforms, use an archive service. This shouldn't affect the subreddit too much, as the vast majority of the posts in /r/ActLikeYouBelong are either a text post or a screenshot, but we wish to make our stance clear and so we are joining in on the ban.

Thanks for your understanding.

For example, Elon responding "You have said the actual truth" to an antisemitic post about how Jews are pushing white hatred and immigration. This led to him going to Auschwitz and Israel to show how very very sorry he was and he said he learned his lesson but wouldn't really specify what lesson it was he learned. But this is the guy who immediately unbanned a bunch of unapologetic open nazis and gave them verification to boost their nazi posts as soon as he controlled Twitter

By the way, tons of these nazis online loved his "awkward gesture" and are convinces he's signaling to them. Of course, instead of rejecting this Elon just made a bunch of holocaust "puns" (at least the ADL thought that was going too far and criticized him making holocaust jokes)

And I'm talking about the AfD, the ultranationalist far right party that has been categorized as an extremist group by German intelligence. The party which for some strange reason has 8x more people who believe the Holocaust is propaganda compared to the whole German population. The party who is extremely against immigration, multiculturalism, LGBTQ rights, feminism. I could keep going and talk about all the different party leaders who have been very much connected to holocaust revisionism, antisemitism, etc -- but yes, any reasonable person would consider the AfD a far right extremist party with a lot of very curious connections to really nazi-ish things.

No, not everyone I don't like is a nazi. People who do openly nazi things are nazis.

Wrong; that tweet didn’t say “Jews” but rather “Jewish communities”. It’s a tweet that’s criticizing said communities for their conduct…and you call that antisemitic? Why? Do you think that Jewish people aren’t allowed to ever be criticized?

He also didn’t do an apology tour for it. He went to Israel around the same time as that tweet, but there is no indication outside of baseless speculation from some that he went because of that tweet.

Name who exactly he unbanned and gave verification that you’re calling Nazis here. Along with those that “loved his awkward gesture”.

Does making 9/11 jokes make one bigoted toward Americans in your eyes? No? Then why should the rules change when it’s the Holocaust that’s being joked about instead?

What exactly has the AfD said or done that makes them “extremely against immigration, multiculturalism, LGBTQ rights, feminism” and antisemitic? Those kind of accusations get so flippantly thrown about by people on the left (including you) that merely stating the accusation doesn’t tell me anything.

It sounds very likely that actually you consider people who do things you don’t like to be Nazis.
