This is basically the drama: https://mastodon.social/@lo__/114370692797365997

It's blown out of proportion and it's legitimately disturbing that this is the evidence used to accuse him of being a "nazi" or a "fascist". I don't agree with his views, but this is a completely out-of-proportion response. The first link behind the first link is simply arguing that using the word "disappeared" for Mahmoud Khalil is "Yellow journalism", and that's used as evidence that he's "defending the deportation". This whole thing is disingenuous and witch-hunty. From what I can see, this guy has a minor right wing lean and has defended Elon Musk. I'm not in that camp, but that's clearly not fascist and clearly not being a nazi.
I'm a bit dismayed by this. I know the fediverse has a strong left-wing presence, even communist and anarchist, and I'm fine with that. I'm not fine with this massive disingenuous hate campaign. If this is what it takes to be a "nazi" here, then this is not a reasonable community.
I'm personally getting incredibly sick of the word "nazi" being stretched to mean anything even slightly right of center.
