Elon Musk asks whether he should run a poll on BANNING the ADL
Twitter/X ^ | Sep 2 | Elon Musk

Posted on 09/02/2023 9:35:05 PM PDT by RandFan

@elonmusk

Perhaps we should run a poll on this?

RE:

@EvaVlaar

The fact that #BanTheADL is trending shows how done people are with the “we’re labeling everything we don’t like as hateful/racist/dangerous/far-right” BS.

People aren’t afraid of your intimidation tactics anymore, @JGreenblattADL. Your labels have lost their power.

[THREAD ...]

@WallStreetSilv

Yes. The ADL, ACLU and SPLC are radical left wing hate groups.

@elonmusk

It would be difficult to describe them as centrist

@krassenstein

You really have to make the option to only allow for blue checkmarks to participate in polls. I’ve noticed that the bot activity around polls are pretty extreme. As for the ADL I get that sometimes they over-label things. With that said, there has been a lot accomplished over the last 110 years from the ADL.

@elonmusk

Agreed on all.

We’re changing polls to allow votes only by verified users. That’s critical to avoid polls getting bot-spammed on controversial issues.

The ADL has done a lot of good work in prior decades, but has been overzealous in recent years & hijacked by woke mind virus.

A poll to take a poll?

What a troll!

That’s for sure!

How about letting folks be able to rebut/refute the ADL on Twitter?

Sunshine is the best disinfectant.

BTW, I was banned on Twitter in 2019.

Never got my account back.

I wonder how many conservatives are still being banned on Twitter.

I would also add Amnesty International, which has become a subsidiary of the depraved homosexual agenda.

Also, ALL the United Nations agencies that push and promote the GloboHomo agenda. /spit

I'd responded to Musk that he should run the same poll about the SPLC, another radical left wing hate group. Forgot to add the ACLU. You're right: Do all three! ADL, ACLU & SPLC!

The ADL and SPLC should be banned not just from Twitter, but from having any type of government contracts, right now both of them give training to the FBI, Secret Service, and other government agencies.

The U.S. has too many whineyass commie organizations. We need to start weeding them out and getting them defunded.

Musk's way works better. He isn't just a right wing versionof the cancel culture, he has approval from the X-verse. Also, he is drawing attention to the problem, which most are unware of. Like "Black Lives Matter" and "Southern Poverty Law Center", the name "Anti-Defamation League" sounds neutral, even noble. Musk is putting the lie to it. They are bullies.

There seems to be a lot more to this stoy than Jake Shields is telling. There were 3 suspects initially, but Leo Frank was convicted. One of the other suspects was the janitor of the business, a black man with obvious developmental issues, who was allegedly seen with the body - as told by an alleged witness decades later.

All of the "witness" testimony is sketchy at best, with the background being the depraved notions of racial purity of the time, as espoused by Populist Party Congressman Tom Watson from Georgia with such gems as this:

"Jew money has debased us, bought us and sold us - and laughs at us. Hereafter, let no man reproach the South with Lynch law; let him remember the unendurable provocation; and let him say whether Lynch law is not better than no law at all."

All of which led to the kidnapping, out of the prison, of Leo Frank, and his lynching by a mob of preachers, a former governor, an ex-mayor, a doctor, a lawyer, etc.

I'd say that the non-gentile non-white citizens of Georgia at the time were living in constant intimidation and fear for life and property. Jewish mafia my ass.

The ADL (among other groups) is nowadays definitely anti-free speech, and a buncha commies, but was not founded without some justification at the time.

Which he published, after Frank's conviction.

I 100 percent support this, but then Antisemites hijacked a great cause. Very frustrating.

Well, he had murdered a 13 year old girl.

Look, a white jury of that era didn’t buy the made up story Frank’s defense came up with trying to blame a black man. Think about that for a minute. The evidence simply pointed elsewhere.

I’m not defending Tom Watson with that.

People were outraged an outgoing governor commuted Frank’s sentence to life, probably for payment. With the results we see.

People believed in capital punishment back then. Strongly so.

Musk is mugged by 60 organizations and the grievance addled idiot singles out the nominally Jewish one (and antisemeitic one in practice), while ignoring the rest. He ignores the Muslims funder behind the campaign in order to retweet an Irish Neo-Nazi. Musk just destroyed what is left of his reputation and made himself a useful idiot for Neo-Nazis and the groups that were trying to mug him.
RMLEW rule of politics: Grievance addles the mind and soul, leading people to betray themselves and the causes their once supported.

Except Mary Phagan was rapped and killed by Jim Conley,who "found the body" and fabricated two death letters on the body. Conley was caught and admitted he wrote the letters. He then blamed Frank, who wasn't in the factory at the time. The KKK and Southern Progressives decided that a Black person wasn't smart enough to do a bad job of hiding his tracks and then framing a White. Instead, they decided that going after a White "Northern" Jewish factory owner was more political useful than going after the African American who literally had blood on his hands. The ADL was founded after Frank was lynched. Frank was lynched because he was innocent and was getting a second trial with exculpatory evidence. The second trial was a political embarrassment for the KKK and their progressive allies.
But by all means, prove the point that antisemitism makes people stupid and post a Tweet by a person, who can't spell the victim's name and who doesn't know the timeline.
