I’m starting to think that doing enough Ketamine to take down a racehorse just before giving a speech to the entire world’s media, was probably not a good idea…
Inventing a time machine that lets you go back and kill hitler before he gets in power is a very common power fantasy.
Time travel guy failed by a couple pf centimeters.
It’s not a full on Nazi salute as the words „Heil“, „Heil Hitler“, or „Sieg Heil“ aren’t used. However, it is a full on salute in its tradition. A right wing oligarch holding a victory speech espousing conservative revolution and a glorious future are in the vein of the fascism of old.
Trumpism doesn’t need to even express itself as fully fascist. The popular support, the support of the tycoons of industry, institutional acquiescence, lack of organized resistance, means he doesn’t need to go full authoritarian.
The ideological flexibility of Trumpism is enormous. Allegiance to Trump and MAGA is pretty much it. The rest of the ideology is dynamically formed by sycophants looking for Trump‘s favor. The post ironic attitude means immunity to value based criticism.
Elon Musk is a mix of minister for propaganda and court jester at the same time.
I know I won’t change your mind by disagreeing with you regarding the nazi salute. But I want to say that I am very grossed out by all the apologists defending him, even just a little bit.
Just remember the quote, for evil men to succeed, good men just have to do nothing
The fact this is a debatable thing is the shame of humanity.
You know what’s even worst? ADL.
Journalists: It appeared to be a South African karate chop of some kind

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!”
Imagine what else they’ve been lying about.
Lots of sex stuff with kids… some accidental murder and drug binges… the typical conservative stuff they project on others.

There are four parts!
it’s a joke about the movie Gaslight
Logical fallacy: Argument from authority.
There’s a difference between an authority figure and someone with expertise in a subject. This individual isn’t using a position of power to supplement his argument, he is just detailing his experience.
People really need to stop treating logical fallacy like they’re harry potter spells.
(J) To emphasize the misuse of logical fallacies in recent history.
There’s a difference between an authority figure and someone with expertise in a subject.
By “authority” it means “authority on the subject”. A well known and respected physicist would be an authority on the subject or in the field of physics. The issue necessarily isn’t the lack of expertise but that the expertise shouldn’t be trusted blindly but rather the findings or argument should be verified.
Not that trusting the authorities on the subject is a bad idea especially when you are yourself not an expert. It’s more of a thing when trying to study something, figuring out proof of stuff and so on when you need to be aware of the potential issues.
I always thought that it meant: just because someone has authority over one subject, doesn’t mean they have it for another. Just because Einstein is good at math and physics doesn’t mean his quotes about philosophy and religion hold any authority.
Look who learned the world fallacy today. Still you’re using it wrong

White power is in the White House…quite terrifying and embarrassing
No one tell bro about Woodrow Wilson
It’s been in the White House goddammit, they’re just being open about it now.
Always suspected Captain Obvious had a scholar background.
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.
Bro saying it wasn’t a nazi salute 💀💀💀
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.
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.
If you don’t like being here, you can leave and take your 2 week old account with you.
Nazis like you deserve no quarter.
We don’t need or want you here either, fascist.
If that wasn’t a Nazi salute, Hitlers weren’t either.
It wasn’t.
Nazi apologist, got it.
If it wasn’t a nazi salute, why didn’t he apologize? 🤔
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?
I might have misjudged you. Maybe you’re not dumb, just illiterate.
Just checked the modlog; you got a 3 month suspension from 8 communities cause you were mean, i think.
Looks like your account is new so I’ll explain: normally being mean wouldn’t get you banned but in this case you had the unpopular opinion so you got suspended by an unhappy moderator.
Welcome to Lemmy.
Communication is about both what you mean to say and what people hear. We can never be 100% sure what Elon meant to say, but for some reason a lot of people heard something concerning. But maybe it’s just a small number of loud people online.
But it’s an easy enough thing to test. Just go onto work tomorrow and do the same motion a bunch of times and ask people what they “hear”. If they mostly hear you just being friendly then you’ll know you’re correct. Easy peasy.
now now, this is no place for fact checking
We unite against common enemy here, right after two minutes hate
