...besteht da aus meiner Sicht *kein* Unterschied.

Ich kann das sogar noch durch ein weiteres einschlägiges Beispiel ergänzen:

Sounds great.

It is the same person, though. #Echnaton 1) changed the name because #Amenophis is a tribute to the "household " god of the pharaohs, #Amun,* who reigned in #Thebes.

As the heretic pharaoh was later on expunged from history by his successors and the #Amun priests as much as possible, I have often wondered whether this radical concept survived this severe punishment..

As I said, most mainstream media shared the same assessment of #GretaThunberg at the time.
So, no, it is not fostering right-wing extremism.
However, it definitely is not one of its best covers and the subtitle is too ballyhooed/Yellow Press style.
