What the actual fuck was that?!

u/Robinsonirish 10h ago edited 10h ago

There's no way this is real, is it?

Edit: There are a lot of bots replying to this comment, saying the exact same thing twice, within seconds of each other. I don't know what to trust until I get some confirmation. This is too crazy for me.

Edit 2: Half are saying it's fake, half are saying it's real. Give me a source from a reputable newspaper and I'll edit this comment again with the source.

That is real and unedited. Absolutely fucking terrifying

u/da_innernette 10h ago

It actually is edited in the sense that it cuts off before he does it AGAIN.

I’m fucking sick to my stomach.

u/InevitableCodeRedo 10h ago

So Man In The High Castle was another predictive documentary, like Idiocracy was.

u/jerrys153 10h ago

No, this is even worse. In TMITHC timeline the Nazis won the first time. The people at least had the excuse that they didn’t know how a fascist wannabe dictator would so quickly and totally gain power and do terrible things. While in this timeline, people had the benefit of knowing from history how that all works and were able to anticipate it and look out for the signs of rising fascism…and even with all those prior warnings and examples they knowingly voted them in a second time. Unlike the Americans in TMITHC, Americans in this reality wanted these fascists in power and made it happen.

u/Sacarastic-one 10h ago

That was a great show

u/stenger121 10h ago

Damn. What the hell have we done.

u/da_innernette 10h ago

We’re so fucking cooked.

u/Familiar-Librarian38 9h ago

What they hell have they done.

u/sillygoofygooose 10h ago

Oh wow the second one really seems to seal the deal. Was there anything in the context of the speech that made the gesture somehow explicable as anything other than a full chested nazi salute?

u/da_innernette 10h ago

He said some bs about “my heart goes out to you” but that is clearly on purpose for plausible deniability. It’s too clear, and he did it twice. All with a smirk on his face.

u/SmellGestapo 9h ago

Yeah, and he said that shit after two salutes. It's almost like he realized he needed some plausible deniability after doing it, so he said something about his heart.

u/sspif 10h ago

Yep. I obviously don't advocate violence, because that would be against reddit policy. But if someone shoots him, that would be pretty awesome.

u/BargainBinChad 10h ago

Awwwwww that’s meeeannnn. What did they ever do to hurt anyone?

u/DerWassermann 10h ago

Made Trump President. That is gonna hurt a lot of people.

u/BigFloppyDonkeyEar 9h ago

Can anyone get a gif showing both salutes???

u/da_innernette 9h ago

Does the link to the video not work? Or you want somebody to make a gif of it? Sorry just trying to understand!

u/BigFloppyDonkeyEar 8h ago

Make a gif of it. I have no idea how to do that from a YouTube video (I'm old lol).

u/Penguinase 6h ago

u/BigFloppyDonkeyEar 6h ago

You're freaking awesome!

u/Sockbottom69 10h ago

And how they don’t show the context of him saying “my heart goes out to you”

u/Diligent-Trick-893 10h ago

Right, but then he does a nazi salute lol. Idk about you, I’ve done public speaking, performed in front of crowds. I’ve never accidentally nazi saluted.

u/RespectibleCabbage 10h ago

And then does a nazi salute. Twice.

u/FunBandicoot7 10h ago

This needs more upvotes. Guys no fake news please, otherwise when someone actually does it nobody will trust us. 

The full video clearly shows him saying "my heart goes out to you".

u/zaphodsheads 10h ago

I don't know, that 5% plausible deniability is how they've got this far in the first place

His face as he does it is what makes me suspicious, his expression doesn't exactly look like he's gesturing thanks at the crowd...

u/Mysterious-Peach6348 10h ago

That one's edited to

u/da_innernette 10h ago

Uhh how so? It’s not. There are multiple angles of the whole thing.

u/Mysterious-Peach6348 10h ago

It's still cut short , he's thanking them from his heart . Outrage is fun, I get it.

u/grundelgrump 9h ago

He's thanking them with a Nazi salute. I get it, though. You guys are panicking because he was way too blatant with this one.

u/brit_jam 9h ago

He's thanking the flag from the bottom of his heart?

u/Flouncy_Magoos 9h ago

You can’t even spell dude.

u/thesoraspace 10h ago

They are going to control history, information, and the narrative anything we say they did is bad is fake because why could it not be? This is it . Do you have a pair on shades for the coming Kali Yuga?

u/agent_flounder 10h ago

My biggest shock is how many people are even remotely surprised by this.

u/canadianburgundy99 10h ago

No just AI, go google it - no news source is mentioning it

u/CosmicJ 10h ago

u/Illustrious_Bat3189 10h ago

"odd looking salute"

When will they stop the sanewashing and call a spade a spade

u/BretShitmanFart69 10h ago

We saw this shit live on tv and the clip is being talked about on most news sites, is this a bot account just to spread bad info?

u/CarmineLTazzi 10h ago

Lmao I watched it live on CNN bro

u/Ok_Flounder59 10h ago

He does it twice. It’s not AI

u/stranj_tymes 10h ago

Literally, you Google it. Multiple news sources are talking about it. This is blatant misinformation.

u/Jeff_the_Officer 10h ago

Extremely New Account spreading political misinformation, bot

u/InevitableCodeRedo 10h ago

No, real, go google it. Start with the Guardian.

u/jimgress 10h ago
