It's gonna be a long four years if you have to keep defending all the morally reprehensible and stupid fuck things your heroes do, Bi. I'm sorry you've been put into that position.

1000s of subs across Reddit are voting on banning twitter links. Kill the Nazis traffic.

We should do that on RM, B.

Also he should be worried. World leaders at Davos today discussing him and the outlook is grim for him.

I would but our technology is so out of date I don't know how to remove the twitter button or add a bluesky one.
You're stuck with RM, frozen in time, no upgrades or downgrades available.

Unless you want me to delete all of GD again.

Let's use Occam's Razor and see which of these two things is more likely:

Elon Musk, who publicly sided with Israel over Gaza, is actually a Nazi and decided this live broadcast to the entire world was the perfect time to announce it

This purposefully and fundamentally misunderstands the meaning of that gesture to a fascist-favorable audience. It is valued not for its association with antisemitism, but for its associations of power, authoritarianism, and the destruction of one’s enemies.

or

Elon's not really suited for politics and public speaking at this level despite what his ego tells him and didnt pay attention to what he was doing when we he said "my heart goes out to you" as is evidenced by the video of his speech

In a post-1940’s world, if somebody inadvertently Nazi salutes in public and doesn’t promptly rush to say “holy fucking shit you guys, I’m really sorry about that,” you owe them no presumption of goodwill. It is not just the moment but the reaction afterwards that should inform your interpretation.

The difference between “oh wow, you guys… I didn’t really mean it that way, ps nazis fucking suck” and “oh, what, so everybody’s Hitler now? Give me a break” is profound and communicative.

It informs your Occam’s razor.

Absent any indicator that they sure wish it hadn’t looked like a Nazi salute, because kill all Nazis, the actual simplest answer/Occam’s razor version is:

Either the point was to manufacture a reason to do a Nazi salute and then play innocent about it afterwards…

….or it was an actual accident in public, and he’s too stupid or weak to admit he fucked up….even when he has accidentally mimicked a Nazi fucking salute at a political event tied to the presidency.

Personally, I suspect he did it on purpose for trolling reasons (the man is, after all, more interested in being an Internet troll than he is in being successful).

But the fact remains that if a powerful person with significant influence does a Nazi salute at a major political event, and then doesn’t immediately confirm to everybody in the aftermath that, hey, don’t worry, they actually fucking hate Nazis….it is neither the measured nor the rational response to take them at their word.

Lol "fascist favorable audience". Ridiculous.

Imagine giving a shit about that at all. I'm guessing it's a mix of trolling and his dopey autism.

Again, he should never apologize to these fucking people. They don't want an apology and they're not really offended. They just want control over people, and have weaponized being offended for so long that they can't conceive of someone not even feeling the need to explain themselves to them, as though they are the rightful authorities. Such insolence to this divine liberal order can only mean the worst!

That era has passed, and whether that's a good thing or bad, the fault lies completely with the professionally offended.

All your sacred cows should be burned to the fucking ground, as after decades its become clear that you've weaponized being offended to a truly absurd degree. No one owes you shit, not even an explanation.

I lost all respect for Elon when he went on his H1B vs American Worker rant this past Christmas. Disliking him does not make him guilty.

I do. and you chose to defend him by using a video posted by someone who backs trump and his messaging, and the messaging of those in his sphere.

you weren't even trying.

AOC trying tactics that have been dead for at least 4 years isn't surprising, but I am curious what the ADL's play is here. Maybe even they know this shit doesn't work anymore?

You wouldn't know anything about that would you?
