That's a right there's no peaceful protest when it comes to Nazis, The blues brothers had a hatred of Nazis also, if you went first it set a good example
First they will deny it is a Nazi salute and call it heil maga. They will salute in their homes, then it will be how they salute in their churches. By the time they are saluting on the streets it will be too late - it will be used to determine who to throw in their concentration camps.
Bluesky used to be such a peaceful place before all the maga christians started joining and trolling all our accounts with their hateful vitriol projecting their fascism into Democrats just like they did with the J6 terrorism and slavery. I auto block fascists. Period. Go back to twitter. #nazis
IT WAS NOT A NAZI SALUTE!!! It was a ROMAN salute… that Mussolini then adopted, JEEZ people...
Oh, well then there is the fact that Hitler then adopted it, and used it as a form of intimidation and sign of loyalty… But common… It was the earlier version, the Roman version… not the later version.
Unless Chris Evans gets on BlueSky, and posts Chris Evans-type stuff, I’m gonna say Captain Hikaru Sulu is the REAL Captain America, the one we need. 🖖
Oh, I hear you and agree 100% as a person myself on the spectrum. I just wanted people to know that George wasn’t blaming autism, he was making fun of Musk’s excuse.
This is exactly the faux outrage that put us where we are now. George was using something called “humor” to get us through these dark times. If you want to clutch pearls, it will only divide us and make it easier for the fascists. Keep your eye on the ball, player.
Actually it wouldn’t be blaming, really….. it would show the world that people with autism can and do care and they do have human emotions and can stand for what is right. Right now, people are equating autism with an inability to understand right from wrong.
I agree. But the problem is all they see is Musk blaming his actions on the fact that he is autistic and those who defend him use this as an excuse as well. It looks very bad for those who truly don’t understand the condition.
As a neurotypical person, let me assure you that we all know that Melon is like that because he's a sociopath deluded of any resemblance of humanity, not because his condition within the spectrum. Which, for the little I know, we're not sure it's real.
Or maybe don’t use neurodiversity to explain why your breaking societal expectations. Just say you are going to beat down a fascist. Musk is already using “Autism” as an excuse to be a bully and it only hurts folks who are Autistic and just trying to live their lives with dignity.
Like I just said to another commenter, I suspect that is George's point, that autism is not an explanation for either action and is absurd of people to suggest otherwise.
Source - am autistic, but do occasionally pick up on subtext. Occasionally.
(The way this US Admin is burning the double standards midnight oil, I doubt they'd recognize the parallel or the point, though. Consequences for us but not for them, etc.)
Musk claimed to have been diagnosed to be on the autism spectrum, but has he ever give details on when, where, how he was diagnosed? He's claimed to have a very high IQ, but frankly I haven't seen any sign of it. Smart and clever, yes. ADHD, probably. Narcissistic, yes. High IQ, not seeing it.
I actually have been diagnosed with autism. I actually do have the high IQ he claims to have. Most of his actions and statements make no logical sense and only look like he's trying to sound smart.
On the other points, narcissistic behavior is separate from autism (1/2)
He doesn't seem to have issues with tone control, he doesn't seem to have issues with overstimulation, I've never once seen him stim or even mention stimming, and a key point, autism often causes higher empathy that doesn't physically show itself. He has the opposite: no empathy. I doubt autism here
Agree. I’m neurodivergent and pretty good at recognizing autism in others. He just comes off as a super socially awkward weirdo to me. Most of us don’t crave constant validation from others like he does. We tend to have a strong sense of social Justice. It wouldn’t justify being a neo-Nazi.
There's a lot of misinformation about autism out there, so a lot of us feel it's important to point things out when we see it. I appreciate you being willing to learn more and advocate for us!
Yeah he may be autistic, and narcissistic, and a neo-Nazi. I just don’t understand why his supporters are trying to justify the second 2 based on the first. They don’t want to admit they’re on the same team as a white supremacist.
I'm autistic and I grew up in a white nationalist Christian cult (excommunicated @16). I know that gesture, its meaning, and how people try to excuse it. Autism is just an excuse for his bad behavior until he can get away with it. His autism will "disappear" once RFKjr starts "curing" people.
It's all about the ketamine. Someone should convince him that Mars is crazy rich in ketamine. I'd bet he'd be on the planet before the end of this year.
High IQ???? Nah! Who has 12 kids and can’t remember anything about them?? He’s not a genius. In the 1890’s he’d be driving a little wagon from town to town selling “Elon’s Magic Elixir”… which would be cocaine and alcohol with corn syrup.
Being AuADHD myself, I can say without hesitation, Elon is evil because he’s evil. It has -0- to do with his autism. Now his ability to ignore public opinion of his actions may be related to his Neurodivergence, but he still knows what he’s doing. He’s still evil because he’s evil.
Yupppp. Our spicy brain gang isnt accepting his lame excuse. ✨Somehow✨ the rest of us didn’t grow up to be Nazis. So maybe it’s something else there, musk rat.
Absolutely! There is missing social cues and then there is blaming your Neurodivergences so that you don't have to face the consequences of your actions.
Spicy brain or not, you are still responsible for what you do/say. Sincerely, an Adult AuDHDer.
Hello my fellow NeuroSpicy! Was your inbox, like mine, flooded with questions re; Elon’s autism? I’ve told NeuroTypicals, I’m not a doc & there’s also 1000+ Autism types on the spectrum. Of course you & I see autistic traits in Elon, but I only know what his family confirmed about his autism.
You know if that really /happened/, a completely different standard would be applied (even if it was an actual autistic person who did it) by all the EM apologists going off right now.
1/n Time to educate you George. Autism isn't something that you have like a cold. It is a neurodivergency. I perceive everything about the world different from you. Autism is an umbrella term for a set set of syndromes. Muskrat is far closer to Rain Man, a savant, than I am.
2/2 when you make a statement like that, it is equivalent to me blaming one of my ills on you due to you being Asian. I know you're ignorant about it so I can forgive you, but I must tell you what you're actually doing and encourage you to stop.
I think you might be missing context. The right is claiming that EM’s autism is to blame for what he did, hence the joke George made. Tbf, I think it would be more appropriate to be mad about the right claiming autism makes you a Nazi than the joke here.
Musk is mistaking autism with assholeism. Cut him some slack, as his brain was already damaged by being a South African racist before he became the poster boy for ketamine misuse.
Thank you. I'm on the Spectrum--it's allowed me to retain abject HORROR of what Hitler did, and what SKKKum WANTS to do. It NEVER moved me to hate anyone. I was shy about folks who were "different" to me, but it only took a few months to get over that shit. Skkkum doesn't want to get over it.
A friend of mine in college said that if you’re going to do someone serious physical harm, you need to go naked with a pair of jockey shorts on your head. That way, no one will question your motive.

Do you realize how much you are complete idiots, you media talking heads who just spent three days saying the same thing about Elon Musk?

It all makes sense now.
I miss a lot of nuanced social queues, but never to the point I did a gesture associated with the genocide of a people.
😉👍
This is why I love you so much, Sir. Please carry on. #georgetakeiforever

Pretty sure I've seen Hikaru Sulu karate chop a few people in the past.
I AM autistic, I have never accidentally flung out a nazi salute
These are real people trying to live wonderful lives, it breaks my heart to see so many posts using Autism as a joke...😢
Was that autism too?

I don't know if EM is autistic or not,
but I bet he's got some of the Big 3 (melodramatically titled 'dark triad') going on regardless.
People can have more than one thing going on, and that man LOVES his attention.

Perfectly stated.
I too am AuADHD
Hate is a learned action
But yes, punch Nazis.
(Autistic myself, btw, so very familiar with missing subtext)
*Autocorrect error but I am keeping it

THAT'S the point, AFAIC.
(redone to fix the typo)
Put it in all the text books as a reference for the fight against tyranny
I'm going to crow about it and take selfies with the ba$+ard.
Stubbed my toe? Ate the last cookie? Keyed your car? It’s raining? Problems putting on the fitted sheet? It’s my autism.
Thought>Action you know??
