Well these Nazis are back

America has a nazi problem and there is only one solution to a nazi problem

[-] throwback3090@lemmy.nz 7 points 1 hour ago

Yep, playing Katy Perry's Roar very loud, I just saw it in another article.

[-] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago

There are things that happen to people who are nazis.

The thing that should really give nazis pause is, even if they win, they still lose. It's not like they're gonna have a good life in whatever society they think they're making.

I’m one of the good ones

Is often what they tell themselves

There are things that happen to people who are nazis.

Those things usually aren't just done by random people alone. They happen because people were networked,organized and working together.

The number of days left to begin organizing are getting less and less.

Not another accidental Nazi salute! These clumsy Nazis keep accidentally throwing that Nazi salute around completely by mistake!

[-] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 19 points 13 hours ago

Don’t you hate it when you accidentally do the Nazi salute when you’re a nazi?

[-] bruhssa@lemmy.world 8 points 13 hours ago

Just a little Freudian slip. Nothing to look out for!

So far the only papers that I've seen cover this unequivocally are foreign ones

[-] nieminen@lemmy.world 8 points 9 hours ago

It's super annoying isn't it? The video is superbly clear. He did it, he did it on purpose, and he knew what it meant. You can see it, and his intent easily.

[-] JOMusic@lemmy.ml 37 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

This was in the same speech where he said that the Holy Spirit was working through Trump to do all of this, and that Trump should have a third term and beyond.

It's becoming obvious that we should be treating Trumpism as a religious cult, not just a political movement.

What a piece of shit.

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 49 points 16 hours ago

And every conservative in America is silent.

Silence is complicity.

No more excuses. No more feigned ignorance.

[-] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 17 points 13 hours ago

Silent? They're cheering.

It's not exactly the same as Musk's (doesn't thump his heart first) -- which is probably the point. Trying to sneak in more completely implausible "plausible deniability." Nobody's fooled. It looks like a duck, it's a duck.

Distraction & diversion. He's revealed his "secrets" in length in the past about his calculated moves in puppeteering the media and general discourse, preventing us from focusing on what's actually important. It's already working on the shoddy news media of 2025. Don't let it work on general discourse as well

[-] teawrecks@sopuli.xyz 28 points 18 hours ago

Good. I want more of them to do it. Let's get past the phase where people still try to rationalize ways in which it's not what it literally is.

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 7 points 15 hours ago

Let’s get past the phase where people still try to rationalize ways in which it’s not what it literally is.

What's sad is that right now on my screen the comment above yours is someone trying to claim it isn't a Nazi salute because....blah blah blah.

I'm with you though. I hope they all out themselves. Makes them easier to find and deal with.

[-] forrcaho@lemmy.world 64 points 21 hours ago

The real headline should be "CPAC audience cheers Bannon's Nazi salute", because they totally did, and it leaves no doubt that CPAC is full of Nazis.

I'm unfamiliar with the context for most of these. Plenty don't look like Nazi salutes. To me, anyway.

But literally every word that has slithered out of that moldy potato's mouth for the last two decades is all you need to know he's a white supremacist.

[-] nieminen@lemmy.world 5 points 9 hours ago

Totally agree. Most of those look very innocuous. If you watch the video of the particular event in question, it's blatantly obvious:

[-] vonbaronhans@midwest.social 4 points 8 hours ago

Oh yeah I first saw that on a miniminuteman YouTube short. At first I thought, no way, then he played the clip in context. And uh. Yeah. Woof. That's a Nazi salute alright.

[-] WFloyd@lemmy.world 9 points 14 hours ago

Yeah a lot of those look moderately benign (waving away media, for example). Best case scenario it's an unfortunate habit what happens to make him look like a Nazi... At the same time, I'd expect someone to break the habit to distance themselves from it.

[-] Tuuktuuk@sopuli.xyz 2 points 5 hours ago

Also, in this case we are discussing here it is crystal clear that this was an actual intended nazi salute. Those other ones in the photos probably were not – at least each picture has visual cues that point towards the hand gesture having had a different meaning than on this one now.

On first one the fingers are much more open than now. On the second one the arm is quite low and the facial expression looks mostly worried. Probably he's just waving his hand there. And the same goes for the rest of the pictures. Especially the facial expressions are very different from the video shown now, where there is nothing ambiguous.

Of course, if the context is shown, some of those photos could prove to really have been hitler salutes, but I highly doubt they were.

It's almost like the capitalist media has completely normalized and apologized for fascism.

[-] ploot 29 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

And even when reporting on it they link to the neo-Nazi site X for the video.

So at this point, the leaders of both major political wings of MAGA have openly done the fascist salute.

Maga America needs to be denazified.

There seems to be an epidemic of "awkward hand gestures" and "Roman salutes" and according to some people on Twitter we're not allowed to call them Nazis because we can't literally read minds. I'm so tired of enablers.

[-] ThaMunsta@sh.itjust.works 40 points 21 hours ago

Most people have muscle memory of like normal wave or maybe a clenched fist pump for "fight fight fight" right? It's not supposed to be difficult to avoid nazi saluting. Like I've never ALMOST sieg heil'd, you know? fuck sakes
