Can we chill with the Nazi salute guys?

Like, I get it, Musk is a Nazi shitbag. Not much of a surprise there.

But I've seen like 100 posts about the damn salute and like 2 about the flood of EOs that Trump has put out the last two days.

Starting to wonder if the salute was an intentional distraction. Because of course the Internet would be on fire about that.

The distraction is the people saying things like "it was just an awkward gesture", "it's just a Roman salute", "it's no big deal", "why are we still talking about this", etc.

It is absolutely not a distraction to acknowledge and bring attention to the fact that the most powerful nation on the planet is now being run by a fascist Nazi oligarch.

This is a big deal. The executive orders are also big deal, but those don't diminish this one. If you don't think there are enough posts about the executive orders, you're free to create them.

I don't disagree, but I do think that the deliberate part is to get everybody talking about Elon while Trump goes through and destroys America unchecked.

They know we've got the attention span of goldfish, and they know we're much more apt to focus on a controversial person doing naughty things.

These people literally control the narrative. Everything is deliberate and malicious.

I think it's very important to drive the point home that the masks are falling off

They are neo-nazis, and they stopped being ashamed of it, tell everyone, it's going to be rough

No.

He's already denying it and sugar coating it, as if it was just an awkward gesture, and so are others.

He is intelligent enough and knew exactly what he was doing.

This shit needs to be hammered home and spit in the face of anyone who apologizes for him.

It was a nazi salute, he knew it and did it on purpose.
