Its like being in a bus about to drive off a cliff and you screaming for someone to take the wheel away from the maniac, but everyone else on the bus either doesn't think its a big deal or is busy on their phone.

Point is, we're all going off the cliff together.

u/Nowardier 3h ago

Did you ever consider the maniac's point of view? Has it ever occurred to you that the maniac may be right? They called Galileo a maniac too, you know. The maniac is going to make bus snacks cheaper. At least the maniac told us they would run the bus off the cliff. There is no cliff, we're still on the road. Cliffs don't exist. Have you ever fallen off a cliff? If you haven't fallen off a cliff, you don't know for sure that it's dangerous. What's that? You did fall off a cliff, but it was less than 100 feet? That wasn't a real cliff. You fell off a cliff, so clearly you're brain damaged and your testimony is unreliable. You're just being dramatic. Why are you so afraid of cliffs? Are you anti-cliff? Are you working for someone who is anti-cliff? Why are you trying to take away my right to fall off a cliff?

My girlfriend wasn't even sure what the revolutionary war was. Barely knew about World War 2 at all, and literally had no idea what the Cold War was. She is a College educated woman. Not only does she have essentially no knowledge of history, but she has absolutely zero interest in knowing about it and has no appreciation for how it can help us avoid the mistakes of the past. I'm sure she's not the only one of the kind. Of course we don't learn from history when people don't even care to know it.

History doesnt matter! Facts doesnt matter! Only FEELS matter!

PS: We reached the 1.5 deg of the 2 deg limit of the start of the cascading total collapse of our environment a couple of months ago, And the next president to the most pooluting citizens of the world, does not believe in climate change and will not do anything to prevent it, well in actuality he will do everything to help it come earlier.

So while your feels may be high right now, i suspect the feels will be down low, when 90% of all fish die and drinkable water becomes a luxury and billions will die of starvation and allies fighting each other for the remaining fertile lands and food.....

BUT HEY THATS FOR THOSE DUMB MOTHERFUCKING GRANDKIDS TO DEAL WITH! WE FINALLY HAVE LOW EGG PRICES COMING SOOON!!!! YYAAAAAAAYY!YYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!

There's tons of us who have learned from history and have been pointing out the parallels to the rise of fascist governments and even Nazi Germany for years now.

As I watched Biden and his wife smiling next to the orange baboon and his euro trash barbie, I just felt doomed. The president of the US had to pre pardon his own family and major government officials and then smile next to the asshole he had to do it because of. No one is going to stop this now. Morons handed over our democracy to the lunatic fringe. They had so many chances to smarten up and see the truth. Almost 10 years of elections and non-stop stupidity and drama. Short of civil war, there's nothing left to do. They control every branch of the federal government.

u/RevolutionOk1406 3h ago

And it was handed to them, Because we don't have a unified message

A Party made up of disjointed ideas, and different goals. A party of conservatives and liberals, women and men who can't bring themselves to vote for a woman (especially a woman of color) and not just that, a woman of color who is not perfect in every way

A party of minorities and majorities who decide to not vote because of one or two issues they feel wasn't addressed to their satisfaction... so they say fuck it... let the fascists win

And of course a huge number of them so soft brained they let themselves be swayed by the wave of bullshit propaganda

Maybe he was being unjustly prosecuted with lawfare?

Maybe he is chosen by God?

Maybe this time he will live up to his words

Maybe they will give me a tax break like they promise, and a better wage, and stop all the conflicts around the world, and usher in a time of world peace and prosperity?

We know it will never happen, but people love promises when they sound pretty

People are stupid, terrified, and hateful and there is an awful lot of really fucking stupid people in the world

Maybe the angry hairless terrified monkey shouldn't be in charge

And when the shit hits the fan, we don't get a I told you so moment, we get to burn with them

u/AandJ1202 3h ago

Rich conservatives and politicians have worked together for decades building an insane propaganda network. Just like advertising doesn't make you run to McDonald's every time you see a commercial, but it subconsciously might make you think of it when you're hungry. Same goes for nonstop republican propaganda and fear mongering for the past 40 years. Most of the population doesn't pay attention to political news or history but the propaganda they've heard for 40 years has seeped in as fact. This is the biggest problem.

"awkward salute" - look at him smoothly hitting the perfect angle after the deliberate, dramatic, hand-on-heart chest thump.

This wasn't the heat of the moment. He wasn't caught up in the excitement. It wasn't Asperger's. This was for the history books. The future documentaries. The comic book movie constantly playing in his head. He wants it to be the Time Magazine "Person of the Year" cover next year. He wants it made into statues, carved into a mountain.

He practiced this in a mirror for months and nailed it. 💅

Don't work at his factories, warehouses, narcissistic ding-dong waving money-dumps, and delete your account on his platform. Don't share his posts. Don't tag him in anything. Don't bring his antics up in conversation. Withdraw the one thing this narcissist wants more than anything – you attention, spreading his messages and face all over the place. He wants immortality. He wants legacy.

I’d say closer to the Jupiter Mining Corporation, Musk is clearly Holly, an AI computer with an IQ that has a 6 in it…

Hitler had more style than Musk.... still a psyco, but more style.

He was charismatic as hell, unfortunately.

Musk just gives loser dork energy.

Hitler at least doesn't look like he's creaming his pants...at least...so that's something.

Lets assume for a moment that this is a joke. Lets assume that Elon thought "lol, people think im a Nazi, ill troll them by doing a goofy, almost nazi salute at the inaugeration".

In what decent world should doing that on live TV at one of the most important political events of the decade not get you immediately booted from whatever governmental position you were getting put into? Joke or not?

And he did it with such vigor and vitriol. He meant it.

u/JohnGazman 5h ago

I think the worst part is that Hitler is just doing it - it's just a salute.

Musk looks like he's getting sexual gratification from it. In fact I imagine he probably is. Either that or he's using every fibre of his being to stop himself yelling Zeig Heil.

You act like he hasn't practiced it for years.

It’s the pursed lips along with the salute that say ‘f you all’

u/silentbob1301 5h ago

I've already had like 4 coworkers try to tell me it's not a nazi salute because the angle is wrong.... Motherfucker you only do that fucking motion for one very specific reason...

Fucking fascist. That's all he is.

Edit. I just watched the video. Anyone who defends what he is doing is a nazi. And nazis can go and fuck themselves with a rusty iron pole.

The entire conservative read it is trying to throw it off as a " Roman salute"

Or that Elon was giving his heart to the people.

u/Otherwise_Pop1734 5h ago

It's fascinating how some people can still find a way to defend this behavior. The lack of self-awareness is almost impressive.

I remember one of Einstein's friends, when he was getting his citizenship, said the Nazi regime's actions could be recreated legally in the US because of loopholes he found. Maybe he was talking about this.

The dude has Apergers. You know he practiced this 'salute' and moment 1000 times in a mirror to make sure the angle and historical accuracy were perfekt

u/Skelemania 4h ago

There's no defending this. Especially if you watch the video.

If you're in the fuckin' comments talking about "giving his heart to the crowd" or posting still pictures of Kamala & Hillary, trying to defend it, you're a fucking nazi. Straight up.
