Elon Musk replies to post by far-right Austrian linked to Christchurch terrorist after X account restored

The founder [Martin Sellner] of the so-called Identitarian Movement, Martin Sellner, who preaches the superiority of European ethnic groups, was banned from Twitter in 2020 under the former management along with dozens of other accounts linked to the movement amid criticism over the platform’s handling of extremist content.

[…]

Sellner praised Musk for restoring his X account last week, where he now has a blue tick associated with paid accounts and has 51,000 followers.

[…]

After Sellner posted a video related to Swiss police shutting down an event he was speaking at in the Swiss canton of Aargau and stating he had been banned from Aargau for two months, Musk replied “Is this legal?”.

Dr Josh Roose, an expert in extremism at Deakin university, said Sellner’s account is the latest in a long line of far-right accounts, including the leader of the National Socialist Network in Australia, being allowed back on X under Musk.

I thought he was only prohibited entrance to the Postdam city (where the meeting with AfD and CSU happened)

The city of Potsdam enacted the travel ban but it covers all of Germany. Sellner could dispute it in court though.

So, to summarize: He’s a far-right extremist from abroad. His agenda is to promote the deportation of foreigners from Germany and keeping foreigners out of Germany. The government officials found out about him and grant his wish by banning him - a foreigner - from entering Germany. And now he’s mad, because… They did as he told them?

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Edit: I see what you did there !europe@feddit.de

In his mind Austria is probably still part of Germany.

Doublethink is strong in these people.

The leader of the PEGIDA movement that did many far right anti refugee demos in 2015 and 2016 had fled to South Africa in the 90s to avoid a prison sentence for multiple break ins. He then was convicted for robberies, drug dealing, scams, the whole ordeal.

Of course their main “argument” was that all refugees would be criminals and increase the crime rate in Germany.

Next one: Alice Weidel. Leader of the far right German AfD. Lesbian, originates from Switzerland and her wife came from Sri Lanka(?).

Proves their point! He is one of those criminal refugees himself, isn’t he? First hand knowledge.
