I think there will (or could) come a time. There has to be a limit. "Elon Musk sucks and Twitter is full of Nazis" doesn't seem to be the limit, though.

I figured Twitter trying to dip into everyone's pockets by paying for checkmarks would have been the limit. But what do I know, apparently.

The solution is to call anyone who uses Twitter a Nazi apologist. And it's the truth. Anyone who uses Twitter thinks there's a valid excuse for supporting Nazis, and a level of Nazism by the company owner that isn't bad enough to leave over. The solution is shame.

At first I thought, "Good idea." But I worry that it might start to dilute the stigma of the term 'Nazi.' People might start thinking, "They call everyone a nazi sympathizer. It's not a big deal."

If bad words only have a limited number of uses before they're worthless, then we should be using them up against Nazis as quick as possible. Not saving our words while the Nazis grow exponentially more normalised. If we keep the Nazis down, they'll remain a small threat and our words will have time to recharge. But if we let the Nazis gather strength, then they'll overwhelm us faster than our words can recharge.

Twitter being owned by a Nazi isn’t even enough. There is nothing that will ever pry their pathetic fingers from Twitter. Fuckin’ Fanta sipping willfully ignorant pieces of shit.
