Among the star-studded Super Bowl ads that viewers saw during Sunday’s game was an awkward 30-second spot, filmed vertically on an iPhone, in which the rapper Ye talks about his new teeth and instructs the audience to go to Yeezy.com.

As of the morning after the game, when they visited the site, shoppers could find exactly one item for sale: a white T-shirt emblazoned with a swastika.

      If you think im asking you for evidence in a trolling manner then you arent able to see the point.

      There is no evidence and these are our perception of these public figures with little to no information. Accepting that versus extrapolating to come to some extra conclusion and trying to coach other people to do the same is how you cause mass misconception by reinforcing shit ways to validate beliefs in the disinformation age.

      Get over your complex of needing to resolve incomplete information. People should educate themselves and not seek common denominator drivel in an effort to feel informed.

      Its not enabling anyone to say i dont actually know if elon has nazi ideals. Its perfectly fine to hold that belief and tell people its your belief… but shitting on people for not agreeing with how things appear is… fishy…

          “Sealioning is a type of trolling or harassment that consists of pursuing people with relentless requests for evidence, often tangential or previously addressed, while maintaining a pretense of civility and sincerity, and feigning ignorance of the subject matter.”

            Okay, you’ve got me there. You stopped maintaining any pretense of civility when you realized I was not going to indulge your “we can’t tell for sure if Elon is a Nazi just because of all the Nazi things he does and supports” nonsense. Then you started getting outright hostile.

              Whatever squid.

              Your modus operandi to bring awareness on this site is at odds with itself and you are going to spin in circles in the echo chamber until you grow up.

                Ah, you’re now telling me things I didn’t know about myself in two threads.

                That’s my modus operandi? When did that become my modus operandi? Can I have a date, please? I’d like to note it down somewhere.

                  Excuse the assumption that your motivations are in good faith and not self-centered pursuit of praise in the form of points to justify the other 8 hrs a day you arent shitposting.

                    Oh, that’s what I’m doing! Thanks for letting me know all of that, it’s all totally new to me.

                    Do tell me more about myself!
