Outrage as DeSantis Staffer 'Retweets' Nazi Symbol Video: 'Disgusting'
The video created by a Twitter account featuring a symbol associated with neo-Nazis was allegedly retweeted by a member of the Florida governor's team
A video which features Ron DeSantis that includes a symbol often associated with neo-Nazi groups has been met with outrage after it was allegedly retweeted by his campaign team.
You're viewing a single thread.
"Newsweek has not been able to verify if it had been shared, or the account from which the clip was retweeted from. '
So... They just published this article without confirming that it even happened? I'm not doubting that it did because it seems pretty on brand but you would think a major news outlet would make sure before they publish an article stating it did.

YIKES.
I'm not one for dramatics, but HOLY FUCK.
That's BAD. It's obvious what they really intend now. How do we stop them?
Wow this article is so much better. Thank you for linking!
Or both.
News gotta go fast, 24 hour news cycle and still not enough time for all of it. Fact checking? That's for losers, and if you're not first you're a loser.

It's unfortunate how successful this propaganda is, but it makes sense.
It's well produced content with a catchy song. It's normalizing hate through meme culture and radicalising impressionable people.
Similarly, I believe this documentary talked about qanon and right wing hate groups using similar tactics on facebook, instagram and other "normie" social media, not just the 4chan incel cave, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feels_Good_Man
Take my angry upvote; it's true; getting there first matters more than getting it right for those views. They maybe go back and edit later.
Was hoping we could do better here at not just sharing and upvoting articles based on titles, but this is already in my TopDay, so...
