The world’s richest man does a nazi salute at the inauguration of the president of one of the most powerful countries in the world and everyone there claps, and you don’t think that’s a big deal?

I understand the sensation, but… does this make him any more fascist than he was yesterday?
He’s not getting more fascist, but he is getting more brazen with his fascism.
it makes it harder for fence sitters to deny
Justifiable. Goes to show the corrupting influence of allowing sinister whispers into one’s head
I was like… maybe it is out of context but then I watched the video and was like… oh.

Well… I thought I’d seen most of the evil bullshit he posted but I guess I missed this one. Fair enough I stand corrected. I just didn’t think he had an ideological interest in anything that didn’t make him personally richer. But it seems I was wrong.
why the fuck are we rolling out the red carpet of excuses for this human trash!? it’s here, there’s no more ambiguity.
It’s hard to distinguish between the gormless ignoramuses and the crypto-fascists testing the waters for a new Nazi bar.
I think about this story all the time. it’s done well to inspire me in calling out bullshit fash talking points when I see them, it’s always the thin end of the wedge.
Please report them when you see them in the fediverse. Fascists will be emboldened now.
It is imo also a stupid argument. I can believe he was under drug influence, given his facial expression. But I don’t think that makes it much better, it just potentially lowered his self-control. But I yould also imagine that this was a planned gesture, given that he repeats it.
Didn’t mean to say that was better. It’s worse if anything. Didn’t think my POV was bad enough to be censored, I specifically mentioned it was just my POV, I could be wrong and he’s really a hard-core neo Nazi. I just didn’t think he has deep enough political thought beyond “what will get me more money and attention”
He is an antisemite
Antisemitism is hatred towards Jews: calling Arabic the “language of the enemy” is certainly not better than being antisemite, but still it’s a different form of racism than antisemitism :)
Oh he definitely hates Jews too. He claimed that they promote hatred against whites.
Waiting for a “white genocide” comment.
Arabs are the largest Semitic group and Arabic is the most spoken Semitic language. If anyone can claim this exclusively, it is Arabs.
FYI: Most Ashkenazi Jews are genetically Europeans, surprising study finds
… “antisemtism” is still a word that means “hatred towards the Jews” :)
That’s how the Jews have labelled it. Don’t fall for the that trap.
Definitions change and words can be reclaimed. If European Jews can claim it despite having no Semitic ancestry and not speaking a Semitic language until after Zionism, why can’t Semitic people who always spoke a Semitic language? Moreso if said Semitic people have been systematically massacred and oppressed by European LARPers who weaponized the term. You are just being antisemitic.
Err… has LARPer been reclaimed too? Must be, because I have no idea what you are talking about (which shouldn’t surprise anyone, since you make up your own definitions instead of bothering with actually making yourself clear).
Anyway, until “antisemitism” is actually reclaimed (and you’ll notice because dictionaries will start listing two meanings for it), it means one precise thing and, shall you want to use the term with a different meaning, you should at the very least note that for your readers. That’s language 101: words have a conventional meaning, thanks to which we can (hope to) understand each other.
I don’t even know why I’m still arguing with you… there are lots of people (mostly in the far-right) that, exactly like you are doing here, are adamant in thinking they are the depositaries of absolute truth despite any and all evidence, and arguing with them brings zero benefit to society.
Since I’ve written this, I guess I’ll post it (before blocking your account).
No F-ing way this guy did this shit. I’m almost convinced he does the dumbest shit to stir the headlines over and over. But then I probably give too much credit to a fool. Millions died you fuckin’ derelict.
Since nobody posted a link and the article doesnt either.
I promise you Musk is no fool and knew exactly what he was doing: signaling to other fascist that the thing they were told to “stand back and stand by” for has finally arrived.
Unless he’s remote controlled
I don’t know what you mean by that—blackmailed? Many oligarchs genuinely like fascism, because fascism serves their interests. There’s no reason to doubt that the richest person in the world might financially support fascism in order to suppress labor and slash regulations & taxes. Every fascist movement has been funded & organized by capitalists; they’re not grassroots movements.
I was referring to his neuralink company actually. If you carefully watch how he moves or speak he could be compared to a modern Frankenstein
Heil idiots!
