This comes in response to news that I’ve heard of recently. Goes to show if you value your posthumous requests, organize them wisely.
The concept we generally call “dying wishes” are a staple in how we think of society. Just look to the ancient play Antigone for that. However, things don’t always go as planned, especially in the wrong hands. What’s the biggest difference you’ve seen between someone’s “dying wishes” and what actually ended up happening?
With all due respect, Musk has made his intentions more than obvious. The links I provided regarding Elon are non-exhaustive, he’s also spread anti-Semitic conspiracy theories and has promoted a safe space for pro-Nazi sympathizers to spread their hate speech. All things considered, it makes it very hard for me and many others to plausibly believe there is any ambiguity regarding his intentions.
The claim of it being a “Roman salute” is a disingenuous one, because the Nazis in history also claimed that the salute was “Roman”. Whether it truly did originate from ancient Rome or not, it’s a salute that is now unequivocally associated with Nazis and the people who pretend that this isn’t the case are being deliberately misleading.
That I did not know. Would’ve helped if this was what his opponents go by, not what looked like a salute.
No problem! 🙂 A lot of this stuff about him is kinda new to me too!
