I got curious about just how bad said Nazi content is, and managed to find an article with some screenshots: https://nypost.com/2023/08/17/x-suspends-pro-hitler-account-after-brands-paused-ads/

Spoiler: very Nazi.

So it's not just Nazi-compatible ideas. It's straight out Nazi symbolism.

I really don't get these people - even if you believe the Nazis were right, you know they are the most hated historical faction in the world. Wouldn't it be better to advocate their ideas without explicitly associating yourself with them, just to avoid the (completely justified) knee-jerk reaction?

You're suggesting that Nazi's use their famous critical thinking skills to understand that 99% of the world hates them and their ideology?

Being evil is one thing, but there is no excuse for being stupid.

Has there ever been any intelligent right-wing movements? Pretty much every white supremacist has the IQ of a fairly cool room. They claim to be the superior race, while providing absolutely no evidence of this.

Yes, lots of them. You can't think of them because they got what they wanted without you noticing it.

They want the negative reaction. They thrive on being hated. Similar with some of the worst Internet trolls. The hatred validates them.

Your link just shows the blinking X and "someone 'paused' (e.g stopped) doing business" with "x".

Or am I missing something?
