Weird how the ADL is nowhere to be found when someone does a Nazi salute on a national stage. I guess it’s more necessary to dunk on anti-genocide Jews instead.
I knew a number of camp survivors, and I’m just glad they aren’t still around to see the voices that were so loudly calling to “never forget” having turned into “I’ll ignore your Nazi salute if you ignore my war crimes.”
This is exactly how modern fascists operate. The majority of people will brush it off with “It’s just a joke” or “It was an accident”, but the extremists in the crowd know that it wasn’t, and they feel right at home. There was a video on youtube called something like “the pewdiepipeline” that explained this perfectly.
When I saw the headline I expected an awkward wave or something, caught in camera at the exact wrong moment, being pushed because it made a good headline. I didn’t think there was any way musk would be so blatant. Then I watched the video and no, that’s a legitimate seig heil right there, the press reported exactly what happened.

Oh fuck OFF!
Fucking stunning.
Just plain gross.

“The Party told you to reject evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final and most essential command.”

Don’t be a snowflake. It’s not bad. I saw Elon do this during Trump’s inauguration.
this is appeasement, you shitfuckers at ADL…
Jesus Christ. Mask off… Maybe if we had a halfway decent education system, people would see this for the bullshit it is
So he’s not a Nazi, he just awkward. O_o
Mengele was pretty awkward too. And Josef Fritzl too from what I understand
Benefit of the doubt, eh? When have republicans ever done that for democrats?
It’s worse than that, they said it wasn’t a nazi salute. :/
Remember, it’s only a Nazi Salute if it occurs in the Weimar region of Germany between 1938-1945. Otherwise it’s just Sparkling Fascism.
Got a link for that? I’m surprised they even acknowledged it instead of ignoring it.

I like how they had to turn off comments on it after getting dunked a couple of times.
