Musk recently caused uproar after he made a gesture that drew online comparisons to a Nazi salute during President Donald Trump’s inauguration festivities.
[…] he made a gesture that drew online comparisons to a Nazi salute […]
Why is the popular media so scared to call a Nazi a Nazi? He did a Nazi salute. It wasn’t just a gesture that drew comparisons from the internet. It was a Nazi salute, clearly done with intent.
It’s not 100% verifiable and nobody wants to get a defemation lawsuit. (And perhaps they don’t want to piss of a guy that’s “friends” with the president)
CBS has litterally fired someone for “personal reasons” after she criticized Musk’s Nazi salute on her Instagram. NBC is close to having me consider them a Nazi sympathizer; maybe they are terrified of defamation lawsuits enough to not say the truth out loud.
This is what they always do. They’re powerless in the face of the actual problem – the richest fucker on Earth being a straight up Nazi – so instead they try to invent another set of circumstances that make the threat seemingly less threatening.
South African socialized under the Apartheid, sharing pseudoscientific racist memes for years, has eugenics and impregnation fetish, supports AfD and states they are the future of Germany and western civilization, renames himself Kekius Maximus, supports trump and does the salute towards the crowd right after saying that the “future of our civilization is [being] secure[d]” and then does it one more time facing der Führer. Whoever isn’t calling this out as a nazi salute is a nazi normalizer.
And on a story about him literally supporting the racist nationalist Nazi-successor party in Germany. It’s not even like they need to remember some external context to clear up their cowardly confusion.
