    It has been maddening how corporate media has been trying to tell us it was anything but a Nazi salute. I’m reminded of the Star Trek episode Chain of Command Part II, “There are four lights!”

    Inventing a time machine that lets you go back and kill hitler before he gets in power is a very common power fantasy.

    He’s basically an edge lord 4-channer, Nazi saluting to: “own the libs” is sort of on brand.

    I don’t think he’s a dyed in the wool Führer-lover. I do think he’s a hyper insecure, spoiled, man-child with enough ties to the far right to idolize “anti-social behavior” and think he’s the hottest shit ever to pull off such a “based” stunt.

    A poser; doing loser shit opening the door for someone/something much worse because his idiot brain thinks he’s being cute.

      You basically just described every fascist/Nazi ever while arguing that he’s not really a Nazi just “edgy.” Let’s not make this same mistake again, hyper insecure spoiled man-children with enough ties to the far right to idolize anti-social behavior ARE NAZIS.

        I’m not excusing behavior, far from it, but I’m not sure our modern problem children can be described with an 80 year old German political party. Far right, white supremest extremism is a now problem. These losers don’t care if you call them a Nazi, it just means you “fell for it bro/got owned lib.”

        Call them what they are, not what they want to be.

    Everyone knows it was a Nazi Salute.

    Nazi’s just denying it because 1) they are not quite at the point where they can sieg heil while marching down mainstreet just yet and 2) because it amuses them to see the left try to desperately convince them it was a nazi salute.

    All your desperate justification, facts, evidence, etc?

    It wont make a nazi not a nazi.

    but it will amuse them, and exhaust you.

    Its time to stop using words against nazis, and go back to using forms are communication that carry a more physical finality to their arguments.

    I searched that exact tweet up and it was posted by three different accounts with the exact same wording.

    Me thinks this is no real.

    OP you got a source? Because if this guy is who he claims he is then all of his work is being called into question and I would be very curious to see what other incorrect takes he’s got.

          Do you really expect leftists to NOT spend all their effort dunking on other leftists? That’s why there is no more Left left, because the honest truth is most people are okay with fascism out of convenience and self preservation, that is, till fascists come knocking on their door. And even then, they’ll be more than happy to be peacefully escorted into the van. If i’m wrong there would be an armed leftists movement a la Black Panthers but with more support, but we don’t see that do we? Leftist ego’s competing at who’s theory is better doesn’t solve anything.

            They have to dunk on somebody. The easiest ones to dunk on are fascists. But who really is the fascist? I’ll give you a cheat code here: Fascist is everyone you call fascist.

              I call the people who hold accounts in the £36 TRILLION in offshore tax havens and all those who are okay with it “fascists.”

                  By my metrics the majority of people are fascists, and it’s a terrifying world to live in. When I think about that £36 trillion I’m reminded of those old legends about things like a “Well of Souls” and ugly beasts hoarding and guarding food from the villages. It’s almost like these types of people have cautionary tales about them for a reason, and that we’ve been here before. Humans have always had one common monster - inhumans. Money is the religious monarchy of our day, we wonder how people could believe in witches yet people think food, science, and trade comes from money. “How can the world work without God Money?” is the dogma of our times.

        The source could still be totally bogus.

        This is why I hate Twitter, especially Twitter screenshots like this without even enough info to easily look up the user.

          And it throws up several red flags for authenticity, such as unironically using “chuds” while trying to establish credibility.

          Doesn’t matter what this one random says because it’s still an obvious Nazi salute.

        It wasn’t. But idk why I bother even attempting to have the conversation on this site. Y’all are convinced that it was and seemingly no other information can penetrate your thick skulls. At least some have had the decency admit they don’t care about the truth and just want to be angry which is cringe but I respect the honesty.

        Edit: spelling.

            Did he? I’m not gonna slog through the shit show that is his Twitter feed , but if you got proof I’m happy to see it.

            If he did apologize I suspect he was apologizing for the accidental similarities and not because he’s an actual Nazi.

            Do you really think if someone was stupid enough to pull a real Nazi salute at that event on purpose that he would then turn around and apologize for it?

                  There’s no mark of edit, you read it wrong. In your world is it more likely that comment was stealthily editted to dunk on you than simply you being wrong about something?

                  Hitler had more people than trumps inauguration so he needed more salutes. Musk optimized it down to 3. What a genious. Truly the henry ford of our time, right down to the details.
