"Its just a joke, were not Nazis"

Very quickly devolves into;

"Yeah ok we were Nazis all along"

“this is what victory feels like, yeah. And this was no ordinary victory. This was a fork in the road of human civilization.”

I wonder how one would say “hail victory” in the original German.

colborne.bsky.social•47 days ago

did he actually say this? I’m loathe to actually watch much more

The longer quote about victory was shortly before the salute. Transcript in the “more” part of the caption.

I guess he was acknowledging the victory with enthusiastic approval.

for a taste of how neo-Nazis saw the salute — one European Telegram channel praised it as “a powerful salute” and that “of course we need to share this around,” even if these neo-Nazis display little confidence in Musk, since the salute sends a signal “into [their] enemies (sic) heart and minds”

I wonder if this was bait so he can be a pedant and say "nah uh, it's the Roman salute" to own the libs in his incredibly lame ass way

It was an uncontrollable twitch. Arm Tourette’s Syndrome perhaps? 🤨 Seriously, he’s such a gigantic asshole. When we get back in power he should denaturalized and sent back to South Africa.

Well, the t-shirt with the "Me ne frego!" motto is not so subtle: any Italian can tell you only a Fascist would wear it
