Elon Musk's (Nazi?) salute

Body language analysis

In this video, Dr G delves deep into the body language exhibited by Elon Musk during a post-inauguration speech for President Donald Trump on 20 January 2025. The video addresses the controversy surrounding Musk's gesture, which some interpreted as a Nazi salute. Dr G provides a comprehensive analysis, suggesting that the gesture was more likely an awkward expression rather than an intentional display of fascist symbolism. This perspective aligns with statements from organizations like the Anti-Defamation League, which characterized Musk's action as "an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm."

On 20 January 2025, Donald Trump was inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States, marking his second, non-consecutive term. The ceremony, held indoors at the US Capitol due to inclement weather, featured Trump taking the oath of office administered by Chief Justice John Roberts. In his inaugural address, Trump pledged to bring about a "golden age of America," focusing on national security, economic revitalization, and unity, while criticizing the previous administration's policies. Following the inauguration, Trump signed several executive orders to rapidly implement his agenda. Key actions included declaring a national emergency at the southern border, reinstating the "Remain in Mexico" policy, resuming border wall construction, attempting to end birthright citizenship, withdrawing from the Paris Climate Agreement, promoting fossil fuels, rolling back protections for transgender individuals, ending federal diversity programs, and issuing pardons for over 1,500 individuals involved in the 6 January Capitol riot. These swift actions emphasize Trump's intent to reshape federal policies, although many are expected to face significant legal and public challenges.

while acab, a protip is that if the coutry you live in is more corrupt than fascist at an institutional level and you see fascist stickers in your neighbourhood that you can't reach to take down, you can actually call the local police non-emergency line so they come and take them down for you. your taxes pay their salaries, make them do some good for their money

It's pretty messed up that weiss, blake and yang expect(ed) ruby to be their leader when that whole setup was only meant to be a four year long group project for the purpose of training, and we see plain as day that licensed, adult huntsmen act independently.

So I've read as much as I can take of the fandom bigotry. It hasn't been showing up for me, I've only seen people complaining about it, and uhhhh it's gonna upset me too much to keep seeing examples.

That being said. I am not by any means an expert on fascism. I do my best to learn about oppression throughout the history of the world, but there are a lot of things I don't know until someone online says something.

If I share (or god forbid, say) anything offensive in reference to the new MCR stuff, do not hesitate to call me out. I want to learn and be a better person. There's always the chance that someone will use a dogwhistle in some fanart that I'm unfamiliar with, or something like that. Tell me if that happens.

I didn't know the rising sun was a political symbol until I heard MCR fans talking about it years ago. It's not willful ignorance, I promise. Maybe I'm privileged to not always recognize dogwhistles, but that doesn't mean I don't want to recognize them.

Oh my god i just saw a comment that pointed out that the first square on the croatian nt kit is white im going to lose it i didnt even notice that

[0ddity]

white people loveee explaining why actually it's okay for them to still love mcr because um actually they were super influential to them while they were growing up and uh the lead singer wears skirts sometimes like i really DO NOT care. whats up with the weird fetishization of east asian people and east asian cultures. their lead guitarist had the rising sun tattooed on his fucking body. their lead singer wrote a comic book where the only east asian women in it are literal sex machines and the only east asian man is dead for fuel for a white man's gay manpain. their lead singer has also written shitty comics where east asian people are depicted as literal animals who are monsters! i really don't care and i don't want to hear it!!!!

Seeing what Israel has done to the magen david makes me wonder how Hindu people felt when suddenly a little European country started doing a genocide under a flag with their symbol on it.

Okay so I don’t live in the US but I just found out through a TikTok that anarchist symbols are on the domestic terrorism symbols guide? Fount it important to share so here is the TikTok for anyone interested

[willtheweirdrat]

FUCK golden dawn for stealing the meander. They can go fuck themselves all the way for taking yet another symbol of Greek culture, a symbol that meant victory and unity, and using it for their disgusting "party" (criminal organization). Nazis really do have a thing for stealing beautiful symbols and twisting them for their beliefs huh? I wish them a very "die" and burn in hell.

[trans-rights-coastalmangoes]

(i love faggots but the simpsons here are literally using the same symbolism that fascism is named after)

Fag strong together. Don’t forget.
