Oh how I wish that were true
…Musk used an arm gesture, twice, that resembled the Roman salute adopted by the Nazis.
Huffington Post also too fucking jellospined to actually say that the fuckwit did indeed throw the Nazi salute. Twice.
Every single news outlet is doing the same. Not daring to call it the Nazi salute it was, and firing those who do.

When we wonder how people did not resist the Nazis in 1930s Germany, this is how. Everyone afraid and trying not to anger them, and all the businesses silencing dissent to protect themselves.
So torches and pitchforks descending upon the media regime collaborators when?
Whenever someone gets off their ass and starts it.
Honestly it’s pretty, well, honest. It addressed the bullshit defense and unequivocally stated it was used by the nazis. I don’t see an issue here.
Disappointed she didn’t really rip off his arm. Stupid misleading headline.
Naw, not the arm. That’s a survivable injury.
“In this country, we inspired the Nazis”
Fixed it.
Yeah AOC is wrong here, more than half of people voted for a clear nazi sympathizer. If we hated nazis so much we wouldn’t have done that.
repeated words lead to ideas which lead to changed thought processes. we have witnessed this with the rapidity of an intravenous injection since 2016.
we cannot hope to take control of the zeitgeist (yeah, I went there) without pushing back hard on words and ideas. “america hates nazis - do you love nazis?!”. now go out and repeat it ad nauseam. I am doing it.
It’s not like the Nazis already had this exact same idea. Oh wait. They did.

If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.
Media continues to show its true face with this measly mouthed concern trolling. If you never stand for anything then you stand for everything wrong in the world to remain the same.
Apparently we defend them.
Not enough to not vote for one for your president apparently.
