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 πππ
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.
And it throws up several red flags for authenticity, such as unironically using "chuds" while trying to establish credibility.
Doesn't matter what this one random says because it's still an obvious Nazi salute.
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.
Nazi apologist, got it.
Negative ghostrider.
Nazis like you deserve no quarter.
We don't need or want you here either, fascist.
If that wasnβt a Nazi salute, Hitlers werenβt either.
Bro are you good? That's not how anything works.
That is how this works. You donβt sieg heil twice in a row on accident.
Damn. Right to the top- Furher level. This isn't any SS bullshit. This is practice makes perfect, I might have paid a trainer to get this good level execution. His momma always said, "If you're gonna do something awful, be the very best at it dear"
...you do when you aren't doing a Nazi salute and you want to properly address two half's of a stadium.
Hitler had more people than trumps inauguration so he needed more salutes. Musk optimized it down to 3. What a genious. Truly the henry ford of our time, right down to the details.
If it wasn't a nazi salute, why didn't he apologize? π€
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.
Ayo I swear that said "why did he apologize" earlier.
There's no mark of edit, you read it wrong. In your world is it more likely that comment was stealthily editted to dunk on you than simply you being wrong about something?
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.
Yeah I don't really care tbh. At least two of those bans were falsely applied as I did not break the rules they claimed I did, but I don't care to argue with power tripping mods in the first place. The vegan one I'm not shocked by. That crowd is allergic to facts or any criticism of their way of life.
I don't remember the other ones.
Our of curiosity (because as you pointed out I am new here) how does one see mod logs? I only use the site through my phone and the sync app so I am guessing that's something you have to use a computer to be able to see?
Oh man. Buckle up. The hive mind here is something fierce. Something about the Left eating their young. People get real pissy when you question a common narrative you find here. It's becoming harder to separate fact from fiction for me. I can't decide if my bullshit detector is accurate or malfunctioning.
It feels like there may be a fair amount of propaganda happening. Like back during the early days of the r/thedonald when you could you could watch the Russians clock in and stir up the magats and q's. Just a different political flavor.
IDK, I say this as a blue voting redneck and supporter of socialized medicine and queer rights and so on.
You sound alright brother. I also lean left, but I ain't into that super left hivemind bullshit.
Big fan of socializing medicine and I think all consenting adults can marry and fuck whoever the hell they want.
I also think everyone has a right to bear arms which they really don't like.
I believe in free speech full stop. Used to be a lefty thing and now somehow isn't. Not a fan of that shift.
I also hate cancel culture and DEI nonsense. People make mistakes and change. Hire the best person for the job regardless of race, gender and whatever else.
Most importantly I want the government to fuck off. Leave everyone alone. Help those who need help but stop telling us what to do dammit.
Looks like you caught another ban. I just had a thread removed for sealioning. Ehh.
Anyhow, hit me up by PM if you want.
As far as firearms go, yah, but nuanced. I do support more stringent purchasing requirements, some common sense limitations. Ultimately, we need a cultural shift back to where they are viewed as tools and not a male enhancement device. I use them for farming and hunting. However, the gun debate is pointless until the US rejects the overt fascism that we are seeing now. Bigger fish to fry.
While I'm obviously in favor of free speech, I think the algorithmically altered shit that is happening with corporate social media is a major problem. As is state level actors like Russia and China using Western social media to influence elections. Foreign involvement in US election social media should be squished like a bug, that is the opposite of free speech.
DEI in particular, that whole thing has been so politicized that it's hard to see the forest through the trees. Systemic racism is real, seen it all my life in the deep South. Fought against racism when running a corporate shop and it was an uphill battle. IDK, I'm probably more sympathetic to too much DEI than none. I feel like it and cancel culture are a distraction mostly used by the Right. Discrimination is a real problem, and discrimination laws along with workman's comp and other protections should actually be enforced. The companies that do this shit should be fined out of existence.
Having moved from the south to the northeast, I'm liking the higher level of government involvement in some areas, especially schools and roads. Sucks that I can't throw away cardboard, recycling bins aren't big enough to get rid of it, can't burn it, and I'm not allowed to burn it.
Anyhow, mostly I dislike fanaticism of any stripe. Religious, political, or whatever. I've said before, to the Republicans, I'm a radical leftist demon. To the leftists outside of the US, I'm a centrist or right. We've lost nuance. Currently the far right is a much greater threat to my people than the the far left.
Mostly, I'm looking for unbiased and timely discussion of news. Warning of what may be coming from the nuts now in power.
This site isn't for having conversations, it's for either trolling or joining the witch hunts.
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.
Communication is 100% what the other person hears.
What? Did you reply to the wrong comment or am I having a fuckin stroke?
The latter.
Do you not see movement as a form of communication?
now now, this is no place for fact checking
We unite against common enemy here, right after two minutes hate
Do you really expect leftists to NOT spend all their effort dunking on other leftists? That's why there is no more Left left, because the honest truth is most people are okay with fascism out of convenience and self preservation, that is, till fascists come knocking on their door. And even then, they'll be more than happy to be peacefully escorted into the van. If i'm wrong there would be an armed leftists movement a la Black Panthers but with more support, but we don't see that do we? Leftist ego's competing at who's theory is better doesn't solve anything.
They have to dunk on somebody. The easiest ones to dunk on are fascists. But who really is the fascist? I'll give you a cheat code here: Fascist is everyone you call fascist.
I call the people who hold accounts in the Β£36 TRILLION in offshore tax havens and all those who are okay with it "fascists."
Well then, you might have been debating a fascist this entire time. Well played!
By my metrics the majority of people are fascists, and it's a terrifying world to live in. When I think about that Β£36 trillion I'm reminded of those old legends about things like a "Well of Souls" and ugly beasts hoarding and guarding food from the villages. It's almost like these types of people have cautionary tales about them for a reason, and that we've been here before. Humans have always had one common monster - inhumans. Money is the religious monarchy of our day, we wonder how people could believe in witches yet people think food, science, and trade comes from money. "How can the world work without ~~God~~ Money?" is the dogma of our times.
You can always join them. Paraphrasing Syndrome drom The Increadibles: "Because when everyone's fasict... No one will be"
Give that line to a holocaust survivor and see what they say.
They'd probably say that holocaust was done by Nazis
