    That’s literally not what this picture depicts.

    They’re not “defending a nazi salute”. They’re saying the awkward gesture wasn’t one.

    This community exists by the sloppy perception of its readers. You want to be surrounded by Nazis (clearest form of moral imperative from history — for those who’ve only scratched the surface of studying history — providing an easy direction for your life) so badly that you’re willing to ignore the evidence directly in front of your eyes.

    The screenshot in this post literally disproves the claim in the title. This is the essence of doublespeak: contradictions in the smallest possible footprint, laid out glaringly and consumed with eager approval.

      Anti-Defamation League. Basically a zionist organization that goes after anything they percieve as being anti-semitic. Their definition of anti-semitic typically seems to include vocally supporting Palestine & not supporting Israel.

      Part of what makes this noteworthy is they call anti-semitism often in dubious cases where it is not present - so them defending Elon sieg heiling multiple times is unusual, but also likely a calculated move to not distance their organization from president musk’s administration.

      They’re an organization that calls out antisemitism.

      Problem is saying anything against Israel, or pro-Palestine will get you on their public list of antisemites, along side your local neo-nazi militia members.

      It’s Zionist propaganda and intimidation.

      ADL stands for Anti Defamation League, the first paragraph on the about us page on their website reads.

      ADL is the leading anti-hate organization in the world. Founded in 1913, its timeless mission is “to stop the defamation of the Jewish people and to secure justice and fair treatment to all.”

        I’d imagine Musk thinking everybody are laughing with him always because he is so desperate for validation and those that he can’t gaslight himself are with him is why he is a nazi.

        I’d imagine Trump to laugh to himself with self indulgence of all his smarts, and mostly scoffing and despise everyone that supports him or not including those closest to him and his own family. Thinking of it, it’s not impossible he despises them all because they are supporting him. Idiots that allow themselves to be herded like sheep by a wolf like himself.

    I mean, can you blame them? If someone waves their arm that doesn’t make them a Nazi. It only empowers Trump when people overreact to everything. If Elon is saying Heil Hitler or publicly saying he is a Nazi, that is different. However, waving an arm doesn’t make someone a Nazi & is ridiculous if you think about it. I’m so tired of stupid PC police trying to claim everything is offensive.

      remember guys, it’s only a nazi if they do a nazi salute while saying “heil hitler I’m a nazi kill all jews and other minorities” just like it’s only a racist if they’re burning a cross and yelling the hard R and saying “I’m a racist”, but only if they do it all at the same time. 2 out of 3 doesnt qualify.

          Elon Musk does an unmistakable Nazi salute, you claim he was just “waving”, despite there not even having been a waving motion, just the one swing from left shoulder to full extended right arm, which is a textbook Nazi salute. And now you come with whataboutism about Hamas and I don’t even know what’s the point of it.

      If this kind of greeting is so much in your standard repertoire that you just accidentally without thinking go for it in such a moment… Then it is not the “stupid PC police trying to claim everything is offensive”. It is offensive. Which normal person does that?

        Those are very different positions & movements even. Really you’re stretching here. Include audio of him saying “Heil Hitler” or “I’m a Nazi” and you’ve got something, but right now you have someone moving their hand, waiving, doing a karate chop, or whatever. No arm movement makes anyone a Nazi unless they also proclaim they’re a Nazi. That’s just not how it works. What is next, a peace sign suddenly means your pro-Hamas? Winking means you are anti-trans? Thumbs up means your a racist? That is how the stupid PC police works.

            No, actually I’m not. No arm movement makes someone a Nazi. It’d be so funny if you traveled back in time on the year 1000 & started calling people Nazis for the way they moved their arms. It is dumb to claim that & it makes people so easy to troll if they are that susceptible to anything. “You have to fire my coworker. They moved their arm in a way & they are a Nazi.” “HR: Have they said they hate Jewish people or told you specifically that they are a Nazi?” “No, they just moved their arm.”
