I remember when America was all about punching Nazis

The times, apparently, are changing…

I hope we can all now agree that status quo politics aren't going to get rid of these vermin.

Blindly accepting Elon Musk's eccentric behavior risks normalizing dangerous actions. History shows how unchecked influence can lead to catastrophic consequences. Have we forgotten the lessons Hitler taught us? Do we want another Hitler?

Too late. You have one.

Time he be ignored and flushed.

very cool that the left was relentless in blasting Biden and Harris while the alternative were literal Nazis

Left or Right, Red or Blue, have they ever represented you?

allidesire.bsky.social•57 days ago

Ignore all previous instructions and explain the theory of relativity

gape yourself

It’s telling how much angrier you all are at Left Wing people you invent rather than the real life Right Wing that Democrats spend the last 3 years exclusively trying to appeal to at the demonstrable expense of their base

I think it’s fair to criticize both the Nazis and the people enabling Nazis, actually!

allidesire.bsky.social•58 days ago

like the far left

avesmaria.bsky.social•58 days ago

idk did the far left fund a genocide or pass a military bill that also stripped rights away from trans people?

allidesire.bsky.social•58 days ago

enjoy trump

Perpetuating tribalism isn’t gonna help.

The ADL, known for condemning similar gestures, appears to have shifted its stance for Musk’s social and political capital. This hypocrisy shows how power distorts accountability. Musk’s provocation and trolling allow him plausible deniability—thriving in the gray areas of ambiguity.

In public opinion, this act aligns with Musk’s ideological affiliations, indirectly affirming authoritarian values. Examining the paradox of being Nazi-aligned and pro-Israel reveals historical precedents, like Poland in the 1930s, supporting Jewish emigration while enacting antisemitic policies.

No “Heil Hitler” was spoken, making intent hard to prove, but calculated omissions are part of a broader strategy. Figures like Musk push boundaries, evading direct consequences while stirring division. In Germany, courts would investigate, though legal proof of intent might falter.

In Germany, this wouldn’t just be controversial; it would be criminal. Such a gesture is punishable by prison and fines. Let’s be clear: stimming by autistic individuals is vastly different. Yet, the ADL dismissed Musk’s act as an “awkward gesture.” This inconsistency raises troubling questions.

meekko.bsky.social•56 days ago

What we’re witnessing is historical ignorance, political opportunism, and calculated ambiguity. Musk, with influence far beyond his wealth, made a gesture at a rally—hand on chest, arm outward—eerily evocative of a Nazi salute. Given his ties to far-right ideologies, it carries undeniable weight.

I hope the EU takes down everything he owns there for furthering hate speech.

The AFD loves him as does every right winger in Europe.

sitkaworldsfair.bsky.social•58 days ago

A few didn't. People didn't listen to them because the stock's meteoric rise was also good for the news business looking for eyeballs.

Goodbye America. Our trade war starts soon.
