An emboldened cast of anonymous trolls spewed racist slurs and Nazi memes onto Twitter in the hours

Former Twitter employees?

ANTIFA-types using their own brand of reverse psychology, but meant to only offend.

“Elon now controls twitter. Unleash the racial slurs. K-—S AND N-——S,” said one account, using slurs for Jews and Black people. “I can freely express how much I hate n-——s . . . now, thank you elon,” another said.

Dems. Dems everywhere.

Wouldn’t the answer to this be, don’t allow anonymous accounts, make people stand by the words they say? Probably not that easy because the left is happy to use violence.

Good grief. The WP had to search high and low for racial slurs.

Most of the heterodoxy on Twitter right now are posting "women can't have penises" and "Covid originated in a lab in China".

employees responsible need to be on the carpet

there were no complaints about censoring racial slurs

the complaint was censoring tweets that did not agree with the offical state narrative

this is all a red herring

The 1st amendment was not added to protect speech we agree with but to protect speech that offends us. The reason it (the 1st amendment) is needed is how to determine who gets to say what is good or bad speech? Twitter and the gang of progressives decided they would be the arbiter of speech and look where it got them.

Free speech is really the safety valve on the pressure cooker of a society. When you tie down the safety valve you will eventually get a violent explosion.

While there is a right to free speech there is no right to be heard, simple just don’t follow anyone that you don’t want to hear from.

Well heck, we can’t even use the N word here, and I wish that we could. It is about the best way to draw a distinction between “N words” and Blacks. Taking that word out of the vocabulary hurts reporting. Contrast for example:

Police in St.Paul shot and killed a black man who was pulled over in a routine traffic stop.

with

Police in St. Paul shot and killed a “N word” who was pulled over in a routine traffic stop.

I mean, with the second example you immediately know the character of the dean person, much like saying the Police shot and killed a white trash meth head today. . .

Also, see this:

Imagine allowing real doctors and scientists to make comments and post links that go against the “approved” narratives on Covid or Climate change.

So many other topics that will now be open for real discussion.

It took them about 2.7 seconds to pull out the “racist” card.

What WaPo (via SFGate) probably neglects to mention is that these ‘conveniently-timed’ so-called racist slurs and memes are prevalently TYPICAL of what leftists do to make a point.

The man just walked into the door a couple of days ago and all of a sudden ‘white racists’ are let loose?

There’s more here. Don’t believe ANY leftist venue like WaPo or SFGate.

The left-wing trolling isn't even subtle, but the hacks at WaPo will of course try to portray it as a right-wing thing.

Why do I suspect the LEFTIST so-called ‘workers’ at Twitter eliminated any roadblocks for these posters as soon as Musk took charge????
