fwiw, I think there's some justification in just stating that it's "strange" and then showing it to people. No one's going to look at it and not know what it is, but it gets around the kneejerk objection people have to anything being compared to the Nazis. And also means he can't really sue.
while taking the bus to university today, I did see a news headline where they call it a "hitler-salute like gesture" so austria manages to eek out a slight victory over germany once again.
They kept all the Nazis in charge and only passed the most inane, aesthetic laws that totally miss the actual ways fascism spreads and manifests so obviously nothing would actually be fixed
It's been 80 years, most of the vets or even anyone who lived it is gone. Now we have to learn again, because we live in the age of dumb. We're all greedy by nature
Not you too, with the uninformed shit takes. Please, if you have no idea about the German media sphere, don't draw these horrible broad conclusions about a country you obviously know very little about. This helps noone.
Literally every reply on twitter is MAGA defending this with STILL images of other people in this pose. Do people just ignore videos now? He literally did the salute (musk probably thought it would be funny)
On the bright side trump must be mad Elon is getting all the attention
Who just hosted the AfD? Oh ya Elon did.
Alternative for Germany is a far-right and right-wing populist political party in Germany. The AfD is Eurosceptic, and opposes immigration into Germany, especially Muslim immigration. The German judiciary has classified the party as a "suspected extremist
Please dont use BILD as a source in order to paint a picture about Germany. They are right-wing slop, and deeply in the pockets of the American conservative establishment. We Germans know what we saw.
It's why a non-corporate news agency is so important.
They'll be 3 page opinion 'articles' written by lobbyists in all major newspapers about how great Elon is for America and his childlike enthusiastic Christian and patriotic heartfelt gesture is a blessing for us all.
I thought the villain at the end of the world would be a cool and suave person, smooth talking and chilling. Not whatever the fuck that mush mouth, rotted toe fungus-for-brains dip-shit snot weasel that Musky boy is. If America is doomed we couldn't have at least gotten a decent villain???
Die Bild is not a trustworthy newspaper. It makes it's buissness out of spreading hate. Elon has repeatedly been praised by them and even had an op-ed once.
