The person who "discovered" the swastika in the NYT crossword is on record saying that Israeli Jews should be ethnically cleansed to the UK. If his goal were to discredit "anti-Nazism", such as it is, he could hardly have done a better job.

ALSO ALSO, to expand on what I said on X - perhaps this is giving him too much credit but I think that Elon was aware of all of this: both of the symbolism of extending one's arm like that and of the inevitable Discourse. And he did it to trigger the libs, who have cried wolf-Nazi in the past.
This is the underdiscussed subtext to so much of this: lots of people hyperventilating about modern-day 'Nazis' but no coherent view on *why* one is meant to detest Nazis, and certainly no consensus that the problem with them is that they mass-murdered Jews.
YES EXACTLY. Ah, memories of those posters in my neighbourhood during Trump I: a swastika inside the universal no sign, and a declaration that the community had zero tolerance for sexism, racism, misogyny, xenophobia, homophobia, ableism and transphobia, and yes that was the entire list.
