At this point, anyone remaining at Xitter has to be aware that they are working for a neo-Nazi. And anyone using Xitter in a country that has a history of fighting Nazi's in WWII has to be aware of who they're supporting. It's maddening how many people just don't seem to give a shit.



Many of them are trapped by work visas.


It's not just Xitter - it's Tesla, Starlink, Neuralink and BoringCo. among others. They can't all be trapped by work visas.

While I have some sympathy for them, it diminishes every time their boss opens his mouth.


Absolutely - there are many who are actively complicit, and I don't mean to give shield for everyone.


Lots of people (in the US and abroad) were pretty ok with the Nazis the first time around, until they weren't.


The narrative is more complex than that if I am not mistaken.

It seems the general public outside the affected regions were not completely aware on what was going on with concentration camps. This does not mean they were not aware of at some level.

It is quite common for old people to say that they only became aware of many of the atrocities months or years later the war was over. The US was not keen on putting pressure to concentration camps as, well, they had their own full of "japs and n*"


Not only a neo-Nazi, but also for Russians as well.
