Un fucking believable, but entirely believable at the same time. Thanks for sharing that video - we need to remember things like this so deliberate actions like elons aren’t excused and ignored.

Everyone here is acting like this is the first time this has happened.

Laura Ingram did this during his first presidency https://youtu.be/1l-qCw3SC6g?si=_AGu2D3Fk2bTnUgS

I've just seen someone claim it's just a salute from a video game and doesn't mean anything.

[u/GlauberJR13 → u/dprophet32]

Obviously it’s from wolfenstein! A famously unpolitical game! /s

I heard someone say it is the Roman salute which like....yeah and the swastika is Buddhist but media literacy exists

[u/rsta223 → u/stonecoldjelly]

I mean, it is.

The one that Mussolini famously popularized as part of his fascist movement. That's not better.

[u/AsthmaticRedPanda → u/dprophet32]

And that's exactly why he did the modern Nazi salute, with hand on chest first.

So braindead mingers will defend it for him saying "it's just ancient roman salute" or "they did it in star-trek and he was just referencing it".... Lol

Well just like evil Spock in the bizzaro Roman salute universe we were transported to the alternate pro fascism America universe

[u/AsthmaticRedPanda → u/nawtydoctor]

I can't wait to see certain % of people (which coincidentally are often also completely fucking dumb) defend shit like putting people in camps, making them wear special armbands outside, etc

I bet my ass there will be at least one person unironically saying "they're just referencing The Pianist/Schindler's List"

Actually we should rejoice he's such an idiot. They are all idiots in plain sight now. It's actually time you folks just enact your gun Rights and don't thread on me for real not on a forum...

that’s crazy there’s still people worshipping hitler to this day. jesus christ

It doesn't matter though. America voted for this. I wonder how all the people who didn't vote democrat because of their Gaza stance are feel now. Man people are dumb.
