Classics of Baked Alaska, volume 2
So is this guy just a famous Neo Nazis or is there some other reason I should know who he is?
Maybe I don't get out enough, but I didn't know pepper spray could do permanent damage
Twitter's rules are inconsistent and I stopped taking the company seriously when they rewrote said rules just so they didn't have to ban Donald Trump
It's a horrendous argument anyways. Jack follows thousands of people. I could cherrypick a few out of the list and declare he was anything that I wanted. It's meaningless.
It was bear mace so it wasn't exactly designed for humans. But he was a Neo-Nazi loser so lol.
Does this mean that they will finally actually verify accounts that meet all criteria, like Candace Owens'? She's been trying, but they just won't do it. https://twitter.com/RedPillBlack She's out there, but she's not a supremacist last I checked.
I think the verification system needs a serious re-working. Why the hell is "PeterSweden" still verified when he doesn't even have his actual name in his profile?
Just chucking some ideas into the mix to see if they stick... what if they had different coloured ticks for different accounts? So, a blue tick for a company, a green tick for a journalist with actual press credentials (e.g. National Visits Media Card, IFJ Press Card, ID card at an actual news outlet etc.), a grey tick for a celebrity who's frequently impersonated, a yellow tick for an elected politician.
Clearly the blue tick system isn't working. Twitter says it's about identity verification and nothing else, but it clearly denotes more than that implicitly.

Ugh. Disgusting. Think how much better Twitter could be if it were run by someone with anything resembling a moral compass.
Verification should be seen as that. Verifying the person is who they say. It shouldn't mean anything beyond that and all Twitter continues to do is give in to any outrage party that takes place.
Clearly this is someone who offers meaningful discourse to the platform.
this is actually a great idea, so of course it'll never happen.
Oh for fuck's sake, final solution? Really with this?
I love that they will fight you when you call them nazis to say they are not nazis, but they sure love to invoke nazi imagery in basically every small issue they have in their lives.
what an absolutely shitty person to stan for
jesus, do better huelen
yeah, i would've doubted this more if some of his follows hasn't been pointed out recently, ugh

HAHAHAHA.
Personally I find these tears more amusing than them just being banned.
They are crying THIS hard about losing a blue checkmark. Goddamn people, maybe they should just take a break from the internet and calm themselves hahahahaha.

They should have kept Baked Alaska around. No one sells the role of village idiot for white supremacists quite like that dumbass.
medicine after death
honestly social media and authorities never took it seriously
which is laughable since the latter attacked civil rights moevements and are even actively investigating BLM groups ( but no white nationalist movements anymore lmao )

Can you explain why that's the case? I legitimately do not understand.
It'd be pretty cool block of all neo-nazis from Twitter.... and facebook... and social media in general.... and pretty much from conducting public gatherings... yeah....
But yeah, remove verified status! Yeah! That'll be enough.

Think again. You've summoned me!
Dunno why I got notifications for this but next time he is mentioned I should play it out XD
Exactly this. I don't understand why we've seen a sudden influx of blue check marks next to people no one has ever heard of - I thought verification was just to prevent impostor accounts of actual well-known people. Twitter pretty much brought this one on themselves.
They have such a fucking strange almost narcissistic way of looking at themselves as icons of martyrdom.
Laura Loomer, you're really not quite up there with Joan of Arc just because your twitter account got a blue tick removed.
I cannot imagine what these people get like when real tragedy is in their lives.

I don't know about the rest, but Tommy Robinson is not a white supremacist.
The muslim brotherhood, on the other side, are muslim supremacists, and they are verified: https://twitter.com/Ikhwanweb

Glad to hear he's had a change of heart in the last... four days.

A quick jaunt through her timeline reveals typical alt-right Twitter insanity. This woman is a crazy person. So if she was white, she'd have already been verified. I guess I'll give you that.
The verified status gives you a new tab on the Notification section: "Verified", which as it states, is a tab with only other mentions, likes and retweets directed at you by other verified accounts. For example, it helps Rihanna know if Selena Gomez reached out to her or something. That way, Selena's tweet won't get lost in the millions of mentions Rihanna must get everyday.
So those supremacists didn't lose much, except for that blue checkmark which gave them a sort of credibility and pride. Their ego is taking a big hit since it was removed and that's something we can enjoy, though it's still not nearly enough.

English Defence League founder Tommy Robinson?
Let's check out his timelin---oh boy
This is at least finally something. But I refuse to go back to twitter after they banned me for 7 days after I defended myself when a group of altright guys attacked me for hours calling me "tranny" and "Caitlyn Jenner" because I had a rainbow flag. The tweet that twitter decided was ban worthy was
"@adriansal @dirtylarpa @SkyNewsAust But do you seriously think it's okay to call people "tranny" and be a hateful person? I'm not trans but just try and think if you were being called hurtful shit for no reason. Put yourself in other people's shoes before you be a cunt to them for no reason."
But those guys kept tweeting after I was banned. Until twitter actually bans people that spread hate I'm not returning.

The Charlottesville "Unite the Right" rally organizer had his twitter account verified last week, which led to twitter putting a temp hold on verifications to reassess the process after all the bad publicity/press.
Quoting some key bits from CNN: Twitter removes verifications on some users
I wouldn't be surprised if Twitter reverses course on this.

So the 60000 people there were racists? I really doubt it. A noisy minority used those disgusting slogans. Poland, which has suffered both Nazi and Communist totalitarianism does not want Islamic supremacism. They are proud of their country and history and that is no crime.
