The topic is fine, it's that OP and others are people who have driven themselves schizophrenic freaking out at random right wingers on twitter. So there is no point in earnest discussion.

Ben Shapiro saying "trans people should be killed" is only a small portion of this entire right winged media/state apparatus that wants to subjugate anyone who isn't a straight white dude from this planet.

It wants to subjugate most straight white dudes too.

I don't think it wise to dismiss the small number of people saying the quiet part out loud. Understanding the mechanisms in which they launder these ideas is critical to preventing further harm. I think a nuanced discussion can be had about it here.

There's a significant amount of right wing discourse that wants to paint their detractors as schizophrenic and paranoid. It intimidates leftists into either being silent or simply avoid the discussion altogether, which just cedes that space to the right.

All this stuff applies to left liberals, perhaps even more. America's most progressive president openly threatened to then bombed a multi billion dollar piece of energy infrastructure and pointing this out will get you called a nazi conspiracy theorist.

A lot of them don't value art as a whole-it's not tangible or productive enough for them, and more often than not a decadent form of degeneracy that can only exist in an umbrella of entitlement and privilege.

For an example of unpacking right wing online culture and communication on social media, here is a missive from a major right wing political figure on "X", an online social media platform, in which it appears once we unpack it that he is calling for his god, mammon, to seize upon and devour the people of Hawaii.

To the editor of The Nation:

Sir: In your issue of June 3 Mr. Louis Fischer says that “Hitler spent six months in a palace prison and was then released.” I was in prison at Sandberg, a.S. thirteen months in all. A special decree on April 1, 1924, deprived me of all previous privileges. All privileges therefore granted the prisoner were either abridged or wiped out. Count Arco was still benefited by these alleviations.

America still would have invaded Afghanistan. Friends of yours have been shot at? How many deaths did Obama & co cause in Libya? The death toll from his work there is still mounting. To the rest of the world, it's just a selection of Hitlers.

As many know, Elon Musk purchased Twitter and as of late has opened the floodgates for right wing reactionaries who were previously banned to come flooding back into Twitter. This has been seen as a virtual "reprisal" of sorts, where the people who thought they were unjustly kicked off Twitter not only got to come back, but they are reveling in smug glee about leftists getting kicked off/driven out of Twitter.

Not surprisingly the nonexistent moderation and cultural shift in demographics have seen some stark changes on Twitter. Whereas before I'd see some pretty intense back and forth in threads, it's shifted in the direction of Facebook in tone:

There's far more echo chambers now than before. Now I totally get it didn't take Musk taking over Twitter for people to get rape threats, death threats, unsolicited dick pics, etc. But it has gotten even more ridiculously polarized than even before. And much like it's Facebook predecessor it seems to fall into the same disingenuous patterns.

The "I'm not touching you!" discourse" - So one thing people praise SA for among online communities is the understanding that moderation has to have nuance to it. The description people gave to me about this is that even if you have 500 explicit rules for behavior people will deliberately skate around them and rules lawyer their way into trolling. So moderation has to look at intent, and since right wing reactionaries operate in bad faith the only way to really get rid of them is to cut through their bullshit. With the changes to Twitter, it has allowed the proliferation of immense numbers of bad faith posting, but paradoxically it seems like they wouldn't be very well equipped to fight back. You see this quite a bit with arguments about the Colorado Springs shooting in particular. They'll all but directly say that the victims had it coming, but when you call them out on it they'll start sea lioning about you needing to prove they posted something direct about it. Ditto for throwing the "groomer" phrase around. They'll mean it in a very specific way, and when you try to pin them down about it they'll dance away like a bunch of eye floaties in your vision. One thing I've also been observing here is what happens if you do the same thing right back at them. It turns out they are typically unaware of what is going on and get caught in a "loop" when that happens.

The Internet Troll - Right wing social media discourse is by and large driven by trolling, particularly as of late. It's not so much about proving themselves right or coming up with productive solutions but instead "owning the libs". A lot of the toxic masculinity wrapped up in conservatism gets projected online. This manifests as a pattern where caring about others, empathy, vulnerability, uncertainty, etc are seen as weakness and attacked. Currently a common target has been people upset that Musk bought Twitter. These people get portrayed as weak cowards, unjustly protected by Twitter's previous administration and now fair game. I definitely saw this pattern play out early on in SA as well-simply caring about, well anything would get you mercilessly mocked. Strength was associated with both apathy and misanthropy. That said, I find conservatives themselves pretty quick to call others bots and trolls (similar to the NPC meme a while back). They can be surprisingly thin skinned as well. I noticed that being suitably annoying and persistent they can start whining that you are harassing them, and block/mute you.

Pronouns in bio- This is another puzzling and annoying thing I saw happen over the past few years on Twitter. If a person has pronouns listed in their bio there's almost a race to see who can dismiss them for it. It's such a weak, played out dig at someone. Now mind you I'm not shocked at how cruel and crass people can be online but rather... Disappointed in how uncreative they are about it. How do they expect you to respond to this? The same way we respond to a skunk flipping it's tail up menacingly?
