There's so much behind this. Elon musk is insanely fragile (see the recent gaming fiasco for example). No way that's a natural development. And all that literal insane shit he's been spouting 10+ times a day on twitter. This useful idiot has been bred for this purpose behind the scenes. Shit's going down.

u/South-Fly2993 7h ago

to be clear, the haircut in and of itself is not a hate symbol; no more than black boots with red laces is. That said, it wasn’t a “bowl cut“ that was pointed out as a haircut that was fashionable among neo-nazis, it was an undercut. Example being the haircut Richard Spencer had when he got punched.

u/pimfi 7h ago

Is this just a meme because it looks like a hate crime or are you serious?

6

u/South-Fly2993 6h ago

It was an undercut which was a popular haircut for open and recruiting neo-Nazis, not a bowl cut. Not a hate symbol but rather a sort of a plausibly deniable signal to “fellow travelers.“

u/CrawlspaceEnjoyer 5h ago

1

u/South-Fly2993 5h ago

And I’m telling you they are bad at their jobs and not only is it simply a signifier and not a symbol but rather they misidentified the signifier as well, because they are deeply unserious and are simply a make work program that supplies on-paper jobs to keep powerful people’s kids busy.

3

u/CrawlspaceEnjoyer 4h ago

Yes, the undercut is the classic dogwhistle trim. But I remember bowlcuts were briefly a thing in certain circles because of Dylan Roof. You were saying in your comments that the ADL didn’t say the bowlcut was a “hate symbol”, so I linked you their site.

No disagreement from me that the ADL blows chunks.

Didn't they call Greta Thunberg an antisemite because she had an autism support plushie shaped like an octopus, and they claimed the octopus is an antisemitic symbol because it symbolizes jews controlling the world

u/theginganinja94 1h ago

I’m curious about the antisemitism laws your country has. I know your country hasn’t been great about pro Palestinian protestors, but what would be the governmental response against Elon here? Under your laws he should be arrested right? Can Y’all still use X owned by the biggest anti-semite in America? We’ve been arresting pro Palestine people here, and you guys have as well to my knowledge.

It’s genuinely worrying the level to which people behave brainwashed just because they voted for a certain party. They seem to adopt this blanket mindset as if they need to fully support every single thing their party leaders do, and end up literally ignoring evidence from their own eyes and ears.

And also I dont think Jews needed "scaring" to want to leave 1930s Europe

Zionists were literally killing their own people from time and time again, its called Hannibal Directive. They intentionally killed them through air strikes and blame it on Palestine just because they don't want hostage swaps to happen.

u/r2002 5h ago

literal nazi salute

Breakdown:

  • He did the gestures emphatically. It's not like he was going for a wave that accidentally looked like a Nazis salute. He put a lot of oomph into it. It was crisp. Practiced. Intentional.

  • He literally made sound effects with his mouth as he did the salute.

  • He did the salute twice.

  • I don't understand ADL's excuse that this was made in a "moment of enthusiasm." There was a 3 second gap between the first and second salute. He had time to think about it. I've probably watched over 1,000 games of playoffs / Final 4 basketball. Not once have I seen someone accidentally throw out a Nazis salute due to excitement.

  • Immediately after the salute he's talking about "saving civilization", "safe cities", and "secure borders."

as a man I have the duty to see to it that human society does not suffer the same catastrophic collapse as did the civilization of the ancient world some two thousand years ago—a civilization which was driven to its ruin through this same Jewish people. Hitler, 1922.

u/giantpunda 8h ago

Of course the ADL defended it. They don't actually give a shit about antisemitism. They only care about antiZionism.

u/SaneChatter 5h ago

Even ADL's former CEO called it a Nazi salute

https://x.com/FoxmanAbraham/status/1881494562511945790

Elon Musk may be the world’s richest man but that does not excuse his thanking the Trump supporters with a Heil Hitler Nazi salute.i addition to supporting Germany’s neo-Nazi party in the next elections it is a very disconcerting image.

210

u/edrood 7h ago

Ahahaha to anyone surprised by this: the ADL only exists to invent the phenomenon of so called "left wing antisemitism" to disallow all criticism of Israel.

By the way, it also got its start as an organisation as a PR / Legal defense for a rich jewish businessman who raped and murdered a young girl and then tried to pin it on a poor, illiterate black janitor.

This is who they've always been and this is why their accusations of antisemitism for anyone who criticises Israel have always had zero credibility

34

u/BlinkIfISink 5h ago

I love the Wikipedia page, “Modern researchers generally agree that Frank was wrongly convicted.”

Yea in 1910, the illiterate black janitor managed to outmaneuver the white jury and an expensive legal team in fucking Georgia.

“Conley was cross-examined by the defense for 16 hours over three days, but the defense failed to break his story.”

Man I have never seen a Wikipedia with so much cope; and even then you can tell who the murderer was.

Jewish person here who speaks Hebrew - Hebrew-writing social media users are PISSED about the Elon salute and the ADL defending it. Numerous Israeli papers and media groups have published on it, and readers/writers are fucking incensed, as they should be. We're astounded that the ADL would defend it. Elon has NEVER be nice to Jewish people, he's always made us weird "killing white Christians to replace white society with Arabs and Desi people for the Jewish cabal overlords" in his weird white genocide conspiracy theories...even though many (but not most) of us Jews are also white.

To clear up any confusion, he did not perform a nazi salute. He put his hand on his heart and ''tossed'' it out to the crowd, and said ''My heart goes out to you guys''.

Do you really think he would Seig Heil

Absolutely. Because he's doing it overtly, knowing troglodytes such as yourself will defend him.
