    So is Texas. What are we gonna do about that?

    Right. Nothing. Politicians are done governing and simply want to rule now.

    From the article

    “There’s an aspect of irony to the complaint: Elon Musk turned Twitter into a haven for racism and far-right rhetoric, after all, and he’s being rewarded with a high seat in the incoming US government.”

    What are they referring to here exactly? Multiplayer games? Steam friends’ list? I have never at any point ever experienced extremist content on Steam; I use it as a convenient location to buy games. It’s a retail shop, not a social media site.

      Click on the community tab. There’s forums and shit there. There’s a shit ton of blatant racist shit, including people using highly offensive slurs and ascii art swastikas and stuff. It’s fucking disgusting.

        I don’t even touch steam community because all it is is swastikas and Nazis. You’d think it’s the Odysee or Rumble or Twitter of gaming at that point

    Silence, Fed.

    EDIT The ADL is a joke. Since they called Pepe a hate symbol. It’s just an meme.

      Good thing memes can’t be racist and dog whistles don’t exist /s. Not every instance of pepe is, and the ADL admits that (whether or not you agree with them), but the original creator has sued organizations for using it as a hate symbol. Sorry the world is more complex than you think it is.
