Everyone that is saying “Oh that was a Roman salute!” They are a Nazi too, They just don’t want to be outed as one yet, but they’re Nazi, every single one of them.

We all saw it and we all know what it was.

actually i wanna put down right now that those motherfuckers (nazis) who are defending elon (also a fucking nazi) by saying he has autism and that we're being intolerant and prejudiced against people with autism can go put a skidmark in their pants like they're so fucking used to doing. because 1) just because elon the nazi SAYS that he has autism, doesn't mean he has it, 2) specifically they refer to 'aspergers' which was a term coined by a fucking Nazi and doesn't exist, 3) autism doesn't excuse any of that behavior, 4) it's infantilizing autistic people to say that he didn't know any better just because he's autistic which means 5) if he's so far on the spectrum that we should say he can't control himself, then he's not a fucking genius who can make no mistakes like everyone claims, 6) so many of these same cowardly buffoons don't believe??? is autism??? have we suddenly forgotten that so many people have claimed that vaccines give you autism and not genetics and that not everyone has autism why is everybody being so over diagnosed yadda yadda bullshit?????? suddenly they're advocates for autism?? go fuck yourself. 7) anyone who defends that shit is either a nazi or a nazi sympathizer created by their own embarrassment at becoming such a god damn bootlicker that they've gnawed down to the center of the boot and started kissing their feet. you SHOULD be fucking embarrassed. we have been telling you fuckwads for years that billionaires do not have anyone's best interest at heart and have no place in our government body because they are so far removed from the people they are supposed to be representing. the fact that all of these people have been appointed because they were his friends is a direct sign that we're being forced into a fascist regime. WE FUCKING TOLD YOU. they do not care about us, they care about each other.

just for the record there's no actual historical evidence for the 'roman salute' and the association of that salute with ancient Rome comes from The Oath of the Horatii by Jacques-Louis David painted in 1784

"He did a roman salute, not a nazi salute!!!1!11!1!!"

You mean the roman salute, also known as the fascist salute, that mussolini adopted in fascist italy and nazi germany copied for themselves? That salute?

Even if he meant to do a roman salute, it's still a fascist symbol. The only reason you're making a big deal about semantics is because it makes the elongated pissbaby sound slightly less horrible to the average person.

For people defending Elon Musk by saying that was a Roman Sallute - the Roman Sallute you're talking about was created by the Mussolini regime. Ya know the other big facist regime of WW2, who allied themselves with the Nazis. It was definitely not created in Ancient Rome, & any art you see of it based in Ancient Rome - almost definetly facist propaganda from the 30s/40s.

And as for the 'He was stimming' defence, STFU - as an autistic person it's so fucking offensive that people are saying the most well know facist/racist gesture is just ☆stimming☆ (also that's just not how stimming works)

Good Luck America with the steaming pile of crap that is your President.

Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine I'd live in a world where a US political figure did the nazi salute and was met with applause

[40-bullets-in-a-trench-coat]

hi guys fun fact! in the italian language, “roman salute”, “nazi salute” and “fascist salute” are all synonymous! this is because the nazis took the idea and execution of the salute from the fascists, who pretty much made it up for their own ideology. while other “roman salutes” existed historically, the one we know today is almost entirely a fascist invention.

this is completely unrelated to real world events of course. simply historical information :)

death to fascism

"Roman salute" is a synonym.

It's one of a few names of the same thing.

Saying "it wasn't a nazi salute, it was a roman salute." Is like saying "It's not served cool, it's served chilled."

A roman salute IS a nazi salute.

SYNONYM.
