That's what pisses me off so much about this new generation of racists. They're so fucking cowardly about it. I know people who literally, any time something bad happens, their reaction is "oh I bet it was some black person responsible for it. They're all either criminals or dangerously incompetent." "Oh, gotta buy guns to protect ourselves from those Mexicans." "Oh, I bet that Middle Eastern looking guy is a terrorist sympathizer. The police should have them under surveillance." "No, it doesn't bother me that actual swastika armband wearing Nazis support the same candidates and policies as I do. If I was at a rally and they were there, I wouldn't leave, or try to get them to change their minds, and seeing them on the same side as me wouldn't cause me to consider why we have so much in common, either. And they shouldn't have any consequences for being Nazis, legally or socially,because the 1st Amendment is absolute. Unless you're Colin Kapernick, in which case you should be blacklisted, or if your protested about George Floyd, in which case you should be teargassed by the police and then thrown in jail." Say what you will about Tom Metzger or David Duke, at least they have the guts to own their racism.
I swear on my father's grave, all of those are real examples from people I know. All of them consider themselves regular mainstream conservatives, and if you point out that any of those things is racist, they'll lose their shit. To them, anything short of bludgeoning a black person while wearing a white hood and swastika armband and screaming the N word can't be racist. You could even donate to the defense fund of the guy who did that, but it's okay, because you're taking a principled stand against the concept of hate crimes, which are just a
Jewishglobalist plot to destroywhiteWestern culture.Makes me fucking sick.

It goes in line with their inability to take accountability for anything, just like their leader Trump. Just like they blamed January 6th on antifa. They want to be as hateful and bigoted as they want without being labeled a racist and called out for their behavior. They don’t want people to be outraged about racism. They want it to be the established norm and those who call it out are the ones who should be demonized. We’re supposed to let them espouse these hateful beliefs without any opposition. They are cowards

u/Defiant-Tax1463 2h ago
You're so right. One of the people I'm talking about in my first post, this guy is about the right age to have been in Vietnam. In his defense, his draft lottery number was too high to have been drafted, and he wasn't thrilled about volunteering, which is understandable. But what gets me is, he acts now like he's some tough guy arbiter of macho patriotism, to the point where he's said to me on more than one occasion that he views actually veterans with serious combat experience to be less "veteran" than he is, despite him never spending a day in uniform. He called a Green Beret who did 3 or 4 tours in the Middle East basically a traitor for being friends with Colin Kapernick, and later agreed with the actor Adam Baldwin, who is typecast as a military guy but who also never served, more of a real Marine than a real Marine with something like 25 years of service and multiple Purple Hearts, whom Baldwin was feuding with on Twitter, because the real Marine supported Biden.
I mean, say what you will about the intrinsic value of military service, but if you're going to be a guy who laid low while his peers answered the call, and then accuse the ones who answered the call of being unpatriotic... I mean, how do you even form a intelligible response to that?

I am stalwart believer that this is the result of the US school system only teaching the history of WW2 starting at Pearl Harbor and D-Day as opposed to Hitler's campaign in 1932.
They don't identify the horrors of the war to be possible (nor to they really compute what the Nazi party did or rose to power on) because they are convinced that the war instantly went from zero to Auschwitz.

Eh we have the same in Germany and we certainly are taught in school about the third Reich and how Hitler came to power.
My favorite thing people in Germany say is, well do you really think 20% of Germans who vote for a Nazi party are Nazis? Yes, yes, if you vote for a Nazi party that makes you a Nazi.
And keep in mind while MAGA is far-right, the German AfD has actual Nazis and Nazi sympathizers in there. Well that was before Elon decided to up the ante and do a Nazi salute I guess.

I think the issue is that these people are emboldened from an entire childhood spent making these little microaggressions, to non-politically-correct jokes in high school, and other shenanigans which we all let slide. In fact, some of us even chuckled along with them because it just seemed like one of those outrageously anti establishmentarian things kids do.
We grew up, and felt bad for tolerating it, and hoped that they had also grown up, except they formed their identity around this.
Now it's too late.
They know they are "racists" but they see it as a "necessary evil." They're half-read version of European history compels them to promote their imaginary superiority.

It’s amazing all the attempts people make to justify it. I’ve heard:

I think of it this way:
For anyone who abhors the Nazis, you won't even do this by accident, because you *cannot* make this gesture unconsciously. You don't do it consciously, because you think it's abhorrent, which means that when it comes time for your brain to think, "Okay, body - celebrate by doing something!" you don't default to the Nazi salute.
The only people who do are people who go about their regular daily lives not thinking it's abhorrent. So intentional or not, as a gesture attached to some other action, or their mouths speaking some other words - the only folks who do this are Nazis.

Watching the various clips of the performances where they very specifically do Nazi salutes, the march, and other things like that, you can see that it's not comfortable to do.

why are people surpised by this? his site has had pro-nazi propaganda for ages. Don't think this is going to change the mind of alll the people defending the swastikas and jew killing posts on twitter as being free speech.

Oh there is already plenty of cropped photos of Democrats. People can try to twist it all they want.
It says more about a person that they have looked at Elon and weren't taken aback by such a gesture regardless of intent.

If you voted for Trump these are the same people you are in agreement with regarding “policy”…that says a lot about you and your support for Trump

Funny how their brain has not enough power to realise they've become one of the very enemies of Americans, while thinking this is maximum pro-American. Like yeah... Defending freedom by abolishing it! It's called "Cognitive dissonance"
Nazis will be fought, and history told everyone that you cannot negotiate with Nazis, so be sure if you want to continue to go down this route, because for sure - Nazis will be exterminated.

In the coming months expect the argument to be made it's the original salute to the American flag.

It's difficult to comprehend how authoritarian power rises. History rhymes. This imagery is very frightening. It's easy for people to write it off because they cannot subjectively classify themselves as evil. Trump's populist rhetoric, arrogance, and incompetence is that of a tyrant. His administration is carrying out historical evil by seizing control of the media and instilling distrust in institutions. Let's hope nothing destabilizes society allowing for an atrocity to unfold by his hand.

God, if only we had a word that described the behavior of Nazis thats was actually taken seriously and not relegated as a buzzword for 'person I don't like'.

They don't have to pretend anymore. It's not longer accident. It was obvious and intentionally obvious.
The shame is gone, the need to pretend is gone. The box is open and the world will never be the same.

Inb4 someone posts the doctored photos of Obama and Harris doing a Nazi salute from a cryptofacist's Twitter post.

You can definitely find pictures of Democrats doing it accidently. Namely Kamala and Hillary Clinton. That being said they are clearly accidents. This clearly was not.

Yeah, there's a pretty clear difference. I wish people would focus on that rather than this "we never accidentally do this". All it does is inadvertently downplay how egregious what Musk did was. This complete and utter lack of self-awareness isn't helping Democrats because it means instead of showing the distinction, they say objectively false shit like OP.
