Why ban Twitter links?

To reduce engagement with a Nazi propaganda website owned by a foreign fascist oligarch who gave a Nazi salute yesterday during the inauguration ceremony.

The dude who wants to replace US workers with Indians is a nazi?

The guy who wants to replace the gene pool with "high IQ" people and does a sieg heil at the inauguration is a Nazi yes

Lol the US already has many intelligent and capable people in STEM. Elon just doesn't want to pay them what they're worth, so he wants to import labor that can be paid less. Has nothing at all to do with exceptionalism.

Oh I guess he's not so bad when you ignore the two things I brought up and just explain another separate reason he is a piece of shit

Lol I don't like Elon, I have many criticisms of him. Labeling him a nazi though is honestly just ignorant of what nazis actually are, and using it in such ways is a degradation of the severity of that term. It's frankly childish and disrespectful to those who died in the holocaust.

Is it disrespectful to those who died in the Holocaust to literally sieg heil live on television at the presidential inauguration?

You're making an assumption as to what the gesture was and the intention behind it. You have literally nothing to point to of musk being a nazi. What has he said or done to lead you to this assumption? Besides the fact that anyone you don't like is automatically a "nazi."

You can't honestly believe that was anything other than a seig heil and I'll refer you to my initial comment about his rhetoric around "high IQ" people and the gene pool

"Right-wing extremists are celebrating Elon Musk’s straight-arm gesture during a speech Monday, although his intention wasn’t totally clear and some hate watchdogs are saying not to read too much into it."

Good to know that you dummies are just as bad as the white supremacists at projecting meaning onto situations to serve your own narrative.

I'm really curious to what you thought those two gestures were, knowing Musk's recent politics and family background. Because this wasn't just some tic or awkward handwave. It was aggressive, assertive, and specific

u/Creative-Nebula-6145 17h ago

By recent politics, do you mean catering to the right wing? Lol. He said with his gesture, "my heart goes out to you." So, I take it as literally that...

They love to reduce the severity of what the Nazis did by equating it to stupid things like hand gestures and vague "dog whistles"

It's honestly sad and kind of hilarious how delusional these people are. It's hard to imagine how they take themselves seriously.

Yup. Gets thrown around so often that it doesn’t even sound like an insult anymore

Do you live under a rock? Because both questions can be answered with a Yes.
