    Jesus Christ that NYT article has so many weasel words in it. “Seen as”, “appear to be,” blah blah blah. I hate the NYT.

      I mean, they probably don’t want to get sued by the world’s richest man-baby for libel for declaring it outright.

      Even if it’s true, they’ll have to go through the court case. It’d be pretty hilarious IMO, though. He’d have to prove he’s not a Nazi-sympathising piece of shit, which is impossible.

          More of the antisemitic conspiracy theory. You can find it easily enough, and amplification isn’t a good idea

            The tweet seems to have been deleted and none of the articles quote the full tweet. Full context is kind of important considering that’s what the news is about, isn’t it?

              One of the things hate groups count on is that tendency to provide full context as a means of spreading their message. It’s actually quite important not to do it for them.

          If somebody was to respond to your comment with “You have said the actual truth” would you not characterize that like an endorsement?
