#Nazi salute

[odinsblog]

Elon has been waiting forever to do that publicly. He thinks it’s safe now.

Do not let them erase this. Do not let them tell you he meant "my heart goes out for you."

This man is the grandson of a Canadian Nazi sympathizer who moved to South Africa BECAUSE he thought the apartheid was just the coolest.

He has a gaggle of kids specifically because he believes his genes are superior and need to be spread to improve humanity.

He has thrown his support behind the neonazi party in Germany and the far right party in the UK, not to mention how far he's wormed up the ass of the Republican party.

He threw two sieg heil salutes back to back at the inauguration of the president of the United States and is trying to scrub the evidence off the internet.

Elon Reeve Musk is a fucking Nazi.

With the censorship on the rise and limited information being accessible across platforms. This gif will tell you everything you need to know about what's going on in the US.

This is where we are right now

It was definitely a Nazi salute, from an apartheid loving white nationalist.

In case anyone missed how unambiguous Musk's nazi salute was.

Welcome to the new fascist regime.

Guys... the ADL said, and I quote (quoting manually because fuck nazi twitter I'm not embedding it and I can't be arsed to screencap, google for confirmation if you want),

"This is a delicate moment. It’s a new day and yet so many are on edge. Our politics are inflamed, and social media only adds to the anxiety. It seems that

@elonmusk

made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute, but again, we appreciate that people are on edge. In this moment, all sides should give one another a bit of grace, perhaps even the benefit of the doubt, and take a breath. This is a new beginning. Let’s hope for healing and work toward unity in the months and years ahead."

Bull. Fucking. Shit. That was a nazi salute, done to the crowd and then a second time to the flag. By a guy who's said a lot of antisemitic shit and sympathized with/endorsed nazis up to and including AfD in Germany.

The Usual Suspects are eating this up and talking about how this proves people talking about "antisemitism" are just trying to defend Israeli war crimes and don't care about Diaspora Jews.

You've seen the stuff I reblog; we're in a "broken clock sorta right twice a day" situation. While I disgree with them strongly on a lot of things (far more than I did sixteen months ago), I think they're right about one thing here.

We can't trust the ADL anymore. If they refuse to acknowledge Musk's fucking sieg heil, we cannot rely on them to reliably fight antisemitism anymore.

I understand why they may feel the need to make compromises to have continued access to the halls of power and avoid being institutionally attacked... but while those compromises may protect them it leaves those they exist to protect high and dry.

Stay safe everyone.

"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.

Considering that you people will call anyone who disagrees with you a Nazi, there's reason to question whether the people you refer to are real Nazis. Even so, it's clear to me that they (and you) are painfully ignorant about what a real Nazi salute is (which you can see in the video above). Otherwise, they'd see a clear difference between that and Elon Musk's "heart to the crowd" gesture.

USA... Elon Musk just did the sieg heil (nazi salut to Hitler)

President Musk keeps doing the Nazi salute on stage or something. (Video)

I keep seeing videos of him jumping around and I'm so sick right now that even watching somebody with high energy is exhausting.

Edit: Here's the video on Youtube.

Also, typical n@zi salutes are in the context of people saying things like de@th to the Jews, and not saying things like my heart goes out to you. It just bothers me because we are taking one of the most powerful men in the world who actually supports the Jews and now making him the villain. Yes, it looked bad, but context of his life and that speech are VERY important.

[unsolicited-opinions]

These are all exactly what they look like.

[cynicalclassicist]

Musk is a Nazi. The Washington Post is fucking failing in it's most basic duty, in not calling out a Nazi being right there.

How the @washingtonpost is covering Musk’s speech might be the most disturbing aspect of the whole thing

Elon Musk gives exuberant speech at inauguration

Tech billionaire Elon Musk gave a high-energy speech at President Donald Trump's inauguration celebration at Capitol One Arena on Jan. 20. He has been tapped to co-lead the "Department of Government Efficiency" under President Trump.

A lot less reaction to the Elon Nazi salute than I expected.

“You don't have to make this unnecessarily complicated at the beginning. Anyone who stretches his right arm on a political stage during a political speech in front of a partly extreme right-wing audience and several times obliquely [angled] up, makes the Hitler salute.”
