    For once he’s doing it wrong, not that it matters, and secondly he looks like he came while doing it.

      Ackthually, he is doing the Bellamy Salute (still wrong, but more like that than the nazi one)

      Yeah, the topic drove me to a rabbit hole and I got to learn a lot of different Roman (Fascist) salutes

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_salute

      TL:DR is, Bellamy is the american nazi salute and the sieg hail is the nazi nazi salute. So they are pretty different from each other as one can see.

        I see, I’m from Germany so I only really know “our” salute. That’s actually quite an interesting article.

        Well, we know he doesn’t have any sense, but if he did, it would most certainly be overcome by his need to be the center of attention.

      the ADL is a zionist organization that supports genocide. they’re not bootlickers. they’re the sole of the boot itself.

        ADL do not care about anti semitism at all. Their only concern is anti zionism.

          Zionism is the same kind of ideology as Nazis, just with different “superior races” (“the chosen people”) whom they claim to represent and sub-humans (“human animals”) whom they claim to be both inferior and a danger to them.

          So it’s absolutely natural for a pro-Zionist organization to side with other Nazi-like ideologies as long as the “superior” and “subhuman” ethnicities of both do not collide, and in this case they both share the view of the Northern African Islamic people as subhumans and they probably see their own “superior” races as being a kind of White - so White Jews and White Christians (if you have any doubt of this for the Zionist side, go check out how Israel treats Ethiopian Jews).

        They just figure that this time, Jews will be far down enough on the list of “first they came for…” that MAGA will burn itself out before it gets to them.

      Fuck the ADL

      I was on the fence about them for past shenanigans but this is the final nail in the coffin. My friends are now telling me that musk did not, in fact do a Nazi salute because his fingers weren’t pointed the right way

      Are their last words going to be “see? You were overreacting.” right before someone pushes a button on their gas chamber?

      Or have they already booked their tickets to some recently-confiscated house in the West Bank?

      Same ADL that says anti-genocide protests are categorically foreign agents funded by Iran and Hamas.

      Spot on. We all know exactly what we saw. But…

      “This is just a distraction from [the class war / taxes / Russia / China / the Koreas / India / … ]!”

      “Allegedly, he seemingly did a gesture that resembles a fascist salute. He could’ve been having a heart attack and pointing at a paramedic. You don’t know.”

      “It’s a tic. He’s had it since he was a child. I read about it on this random screenshot of a news article from 2018.”

      “The Roman Salute, as it is known amongst historians, can be seen in many statues. Here’s a link to one. Things have history, Alex. God. Not everything is nazis.”

      “So his views are a little extreme. Most people would argue they’re vile. I certainly don’t agree with them, but people. Please. Civility and decorum must rule. I’d fight for his right to blahblahblah…"

      “I’m sorry; we can’t hear you over our Economic Anxiety. Groceries are too expensive and people are homeless! That’s why we elected nazis. Please be more understanding of our extra special circumstances and ignorance.”

      “It’s legal to do that in the USofA. Where is it not legal? Germany? Interesting! Gosh their freezepeach laws are a bit restrictive, eh? Controlling how we move our bodies? Sounds like something a nazi would want.”

      And on. And if you engage with it, they’ll just turn on some kind of AI bot thingy to continue the “conversation,” taking up even more space online.

    So he literally turns around and does it a 2nd time.

    How can anyone deny it now? There’s no way this is coincidence, like he’s just really awkward with gestures and was bad at throwing his hand in the air to the crowd. This can’t be explained away.

    Wtf bullshit argument or defense is he and his supporters going to spew out?

    They all say he’s such a genius, but he’s unaware of how close this gesture is to a nazi salute? There’s no way this can be defended. It’s just too obvious.

    How did he make the Nazi salute look somehow even MORE uncool than the -9999999999999999999999 it was already at.
