Musk, Robinson, Bannon, now this guy. I'm assuming that's the four, but wasn't there some Catholic Youtube trio right after Musk? Or is that some fever hallucination on my part?

eyesontheright.bsky.social•14 hours ago

The four you mentioned are the ones I was thinking of. If I missed any others I hope people post them in response.

craigmsmith.bsky.social•14 hours ago

Yeah I'm trying to remember where I saw about the Youtubers. I think they explicitly framed it as a "heart goes out to you gesture," then got in trouble. Specific enough details that I think it's not my imagination, but fuzzy enough that I can't quite pin it down

Thank you!

Ahhh. And actually I missed one that no one mentioned as well.

So really we're at 8. Disturbing!

We should have outlawed nazi shit like Germany did post WWII.

eyesontheright.bsky.social•14 hours ago

It's not a controversial arm gesture resembling a salute alluding to Nazism. It's a Nazi salute. You don't even have to parse anyone's language for coded messages. You have eyes.

eyesontheright.bsky.social•14 hours ago

And if you host rallies where people do Nazi salutes without repercussion what does that make your rally?

Fucking NAZI RALLY!

Hi My friend Eyes💕
I’m sorry for always bothering you, my friend, but I lost my account again, and you’re always our hope. Please share my post so I can reach people again.🥹🙏🏼

Bannon is a convicted felon. And you can get arrested in many European countries for making a Nazi gesture. So Bannon is going to experience a lot of severe limitations and outright bans when he tries to travel internationally. Because he is a felon, he is even forbidden to enter Canada.

I guess he doesn’t know he is mixed race, not an Aryan so a juicy target for Nazis.

Also: No such thing as an "ironic" Nazi salute. Which is also what they like to claim too. "Oh I did it to trigger you libs!" is not a reasoning, they did it because they clearly wanted to do it.

They just say stuff like that to justify ex-post-facto why they did it, cuz they got called out on it.

I'm okay with it. Makes it easier to know who's who when the psychopathic white supremacists self-identify.

eyesontheright.bsky.social•11 hours ago

I'm not sure more people openly identifying with Nazism is good.

eyesontheright.bsky.social•11 hours ago

My issue, for what it's worth, is it being normalized.

johnpauljonesd.bsky.social•11 hours ago

I get it. And I and agree completely about the Overton window moving in the wrong direction. But guys like the one in the photo & Musk? They've always felt that way and I think it's useful information when prominent people like politicians & billionaires self-label as genocidal white supremacists.

kaarin.bsky.social•12 hours ago

Americans just gave away the country. And not just their own country.
Unbelievable. And it was so obvious.

pdawkins.bsky.social•14 hours ago

People need to normalize loudly shouting Nazi's down, running them out of public places and, if the need arises, physically dealing with them.

Reasoning with them or hoping they just go away without lifting a finger aren't viable strategies to deal with Nazism.

tporkka.bsky.social•13 hours ago

I know about Musk, but who are the other two?

eyesontheright.bsky.social•11 hours ago

Calvin Robinson and Steve Bannon were who I had in mind.

tvnred.bsky.social•14 hours ago

Yes, Trump 2016 is a cancer that metastasized and here we are.
