Journalist Gil Duran just got a permanent suspension from X for pointing out Palantir's fascist manifesto was fascist

[highplainsdem]

The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X.

I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!).

So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.

LBN thread about the manifesto

which links to my earlier GD thread about it, which included Gil's X message.

Gil was far from the only person on X calling it fascist. I don't know if any others were suspended for saying that, but I suspect Musk used it as an excuse because Gil's criticism of the tech and crypto bros has been so effective.
