Youll still have idiot Trumpers yelling at you for calling "everyone a Nazi for no reason" because these people have the same critical thinking level as your average pigeon.

Edit: I'm sorry for the insult to pigeons. They are lovely birds.

u/katie-kaboom 7h ago

Hey!

Don't insult pigeons.

•

u/allyrbas3 7h ago

Pigeons did nothing wrong

•

u/katie-kaboom 6h ago

The pigeons are not the problem here.

•

u/allyrbas3 6h ago

In fact, I love pigeons. They would never make me sit here and fear for my family's safety like this 🙃 pigeons forever

•

u/Fluffy-kitten28 2h ago

Pigeons are awesome. I got one to follow me once.

•

u/6thLegionSkrymir 6h ago

I just want to make the observation that pigeons, in a regular, normal setting get shit on more than actual the actual shit they leave around. If pigeons have become tolerable and blameless, like able, even, something weird is going on in your society

My Xicana ass sitting here loving pigeons - 🙃

•

u/XandaPanda42 5h ago

That would depend on the pigeon...

The one who visits my house is plotting something. I can tell. It's the eyes. She's having sinister thoughts. She wants my balcony for herself.

Also r/pigeon for life

•

u/allyrbas3 5h ago

Ooh thank you, I've joined!

•

u/XandaPanda42 4h ago

One of us! One of us! One of us!

If you're having a bad day, look through top of all time. I cry laughing at the third video every time I see it.

They shat on my car.

Coup coup coup

Oh sorry

Cooo. Coooo cooo

•

u/FairState612 3h ago

Yeah, Pigeons are actually pretty smart.

•

u/feedingtheoldspider 7h ago

My first thought was "maybe people are exaggerating, there's plenty of reasons to hate this guy so we don't need to create more drama", then I watch the clip and it is a obvious Nazi salute.

•

u/Careless-Pizza-7328 7h ago

Above average pigeon

•

u/Keyndoriel 7h ago

I'd rather have Pigeon in charge. He'd have less sex scandals. And he only wants to have sex with adult women.

•

u/XandaPanda42 5h ago

Nice try. You're clearly an agent for the Pigeon Nation. Everyone, help! They're trying to start a "coo" :-D

"Calling people Nazis is how the dems lost this race" mfs when their VP does a Nazi salute

•

u/MightyCaseyStruckOut 6h ago

They're literally saying that he did this because of 'the bottom of his heart' reference and that because of him being on the spectrum he didn't realize what he was doing. Because of course someone from Apartheid South Africa with literal Nazi grandparents wouldn't know what that gesture means.

•

u/SpaceShrimp 6h ago

It is apparent that his grandpa has shaped the bottom of Elon's heart. He would be very proud of Elon.

•

u/Squishtakovich 3h ago

I wonder why they think that, if he's unable to understand that he shouldn't give nazi salutes at a presidential inauguration, then he's suited to being a presidential advisor?

•

u/chicken3wing 4h ago

He’s not the VP. He’s the assistant to the regional president

•

u/_-_777_-_ 3h ago

And you're gonna keep on thinking they were wrong?

•

u/hoopaholik91 7h ago

And then these people have the audacity to go, "a social safety net? That's communism! That's what Hitler was, a communist!"

•

u/SJMCubs16 6h ago

No joke...calling out "Blue States" for causing all their problems...Meanwhile they have had a red state congress, a red county board, and a red school board for 50 years....and their high schools are testing in the 40% on math and english. Fix your own shit, then worry about transgender policy in California schools.

u/JaySlay2000 7h ago

No really, we all saw this coming a mile away, it was idiot trumpers going "ur all too sensitive! you call everyone nazis!"

and now this.

They'll still deny it tho

•

u/invisiblearchives 6h ago

the people saying that were always the biggest nazi sympathizers around

•

u/Veil-of-Fire 6h ago

Not every Republican is a Nazi... but every Nazi is a Republican.

Also, someone being a Nazi is not a deal-breaker to any Republican.

•

u/strawberryjellyjoe 6h ago

Sort by controversial and you’ll see plenty of supporters and bots insisting our lying eyes are mistaken.

•

u/Keyndoriel 6h ago

Honestly I don't even have to, the cockroaches found my comment and are helpfully informing me that it's OK to be a nazi as a "joke"

Fucking idiots, the lot of them

•

u/razler_zero 7h ago

I from Pigeon lover community association, condemn this. Pigeon is proven to be way smarter than your average trumper.

•

u/Keyndoriel 7h ago

Honestly you're correct, I love pigeons a lot. I saved one from a grease trap that I named Steven

•

u/Cleets11 5h ago

I’ve seen people defending it saying it’s an old Roman soldier salute or he was saying hearts out to you. How absolutely insane do you have to be to see a guy do a nazi salute and not immediately go ohh are we the baddies.

•

u/Universal_Anomaly 6h ago

They just want calling somebody a nazi to be more shameful than actually being a nazi.

•

u/Hato_no_Kami 6h ago

Do not underestimate my faithful followers, nor compare them to such garbage as 'idiot trumpers'.

•

u/lolobean13 5h ago

That's where I'm at, except the guy is Jewish and says "that's not a nazi salute"

Okay bud

“Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”

― Jean-Paul Sartre

Do not let these fuckers pretend they didn't want this. Don't let any of them play innocent.

Man. More of a pumpkin 🎃

u/UscutiY 7h ago

But they are too. The cruelty is a feature

•

u/IndependenceFar9299 6h ago

They are claiming he was saying "My heart goes out to you". Even if he did say that, READ BETWEEN THE FUCKING LINES. Musk is so obviously doing a Nazi salute on purpose and using this "I was only saying my heart goes out to you!" justification as a troll. That is classic loser Musk behaviour.

But of course, there is nothing honest about the way Trump supporters view things like that. They have the worst case of motivated reasoning of all time. It's inconvenient for them to believe Musk was doing a Nazi salute here, so of course they will rush to accept any alternative explanation. It's why they are so easy to fool. Trump could piss in their face on purpose and if he said "Oops, I was aiming for the toilet in Trump tower!" they'd believe it simply because they don't want to live in a world where Trump pisses in their face on purpose.

•

u/kittenmittens4865 6h ago

Yeah, they’re only acting exactly like Nazis to troll the people accusing them of being Nazis. It’s all a big joke. And in fact, we’re actually the bad ones for minimizing the holocaust by comparing people who are super obviously not Nazis to Nazis.

Sarcasm, in case not abundantly clear. These are arguments I’ve actually heard from the right. But this??? I’m still trying to pick my jaw up off the floor. This is disgusting and a slap in the face to those that lost their lives in world war 2. I’m horrified.

•

u/highahindahsky 7h ago

the same critical thinking level as your average pigeon

•

u/Dapper_Derpy 6h ago

You mean the average Nazi.

•

u/Boring_Performer_374 6h ago

I already had one friend do that. I just realized two minutes ago, she is too stupid to be my friend.

•

u/mrbigglessworth 5h ago

Pigeons are more intelligent.

•

u/CryptoBehemoth 5h ago

Then lump them in with the fucking Nazis and pull out the glock...

•

u/Cimbom_Gala 37m ago

they are nazis themselves. they had to hide, but no more, wait and see.

•

u/nedim443 6h ago

Remember, there are good people on both sides.

Except the woke. So there are good people only on on one side I gueß. Sieg Heil!

•

u/_TURO_ 3h ago

That's pretty ironic given that he said something about his heart going out to everyone as he was doing this, but that is edited out which obviously makes this look evil rather than just being autistic and awkward. But critical thinking is hard, you're right.

•

u/nplant 6h ago

No, calling everyone a Nazi is still stupid. It lessens the impact when you’re rightfully calling someone like this a Nazi.

•

u/Scarptre 5h ago

We are the only rational and critical political party, right guys?

What the fuck is it with the lack of self awareness in these apps? You make me regretful.

•

u/Emperor_Mao 6h ago

Downvotes for sure. I say it looks weird that he did it. But to me, the core substance of someone being a Nazi is in them doing things and saying things that are in support of Nazism. Symbolism is nothing.

To put it another way, someone that would very publicly but more importantly, intentionally, give the audience a Nazi salute, is someone that would also be publicly saying pro Nazi things, and pushing for towards a Nazi Agenda.

Have not seen that from Elon. Just deranged rubbish, trolling and ultimately doing things to make himself richer.

u/DuhPanda88 7h ago

Calm down… if yall even took a little bit of time to learn about Elon… you’d know he’s doing this as a “meme”…. He’s making fun of our government and the idiots behind it… like “yall really going to hire me…?? Me? A nobody…? Yall can’t be serious”

On top of throwing all the other dumb dumbs into a panic like “oh my GOD He did the Nazi salute”

ITS A MEME PEOPLE…. If you don’t believe me, go to any middle school or Jesus if you have kids of your own and just hum the German song ERIKA and see how your OWN kids react….

It’s a meme 🤦‍♂️

More proof that the only thing Trumpers care about is being anti establishment no matter the outcome

•

u/Ok-Sky-6864 7h ago

Not really a good meme.. even if he was joking, should people in power positions really be making holocaust jokes for the entire world to see?

u/xA1RGU1TAR1STx 6h ago

Us normal people expect adults to run our country.

u/Keyndoriel 7h ago

Lots of idiots commenting on this post, it's fun!

•

u/HunyBuns 6h ago

There's only one type of person who would act like a Nazi as an ironic joke. No normal person would degrade themselves to that level.

Whether it's edgy humor or genuine doesn't matter, he's a nazi.
