Musk is running the U.S. government. Dismissing someone that dangerous as just a troll is a mistake.
He definitely shouldn't be dismissed and people are right to be absolutely pissed at the open nazism, but also the sieg heil is an extremely obvious distraction.
And the collective idiots here are happy to be distracted. I've seen at least 15 - 20 posts on All today about this. Ridiculous.
And yet here you are commenting on it. So what does that make you along with everyone else happy to distract themselves with it?
(In case you're having trouble collecting those dots: an idiot as well.)
lol what? C'mon man. I know misery loves company, but this was a legitimately lame response. Give it another go. You can do better. Maybe crack wise about my mama?
Somehow you responded with an even lamer comment.
Ouch. My pride.
Alright man. This was fun. Stay safe out there.
There's a world of difference between "a troll" and "just a troll." I expect you know that.
And you've evaded my point, so I'll repeat it, broken down into bite-sized pieces:
The sieg heil didn't cause direct and measurable harm in and of itself.
Meanwhile, there are many things that this administration is actively doing right this moment that are causing and will cause direct and measurable harm.
Every single bit of energy and attention spent on the sieg heil is energy and attention NOT spent on them.
That's not an accident.
Yes, but a picture is worth a thousand words.
If I'm trying to wake up a maga that is on the fence, arguing about policies will get me nowhere.
This image/ video is a wakeup call for some people.
That is why it is still important to get it out into the world. It is why debunking the apologist is important.
