Edit: Jesus fuck Lemmy, take a chill pill. It’s making fun of the outrage, I didn’t mean for it cause more of it.

    I remember the speeches from Clinton and Obama. They were using the gesture to express a multitude of people. Meaning they were swinging their arms in a gesture to represent all people’s in the audience. These pictures are just a midway on that. If you watched the speeches, Obama was noted for trying to make all people’s represented and included. Clinton followed suit by doing the same thing. Elon Musk totally threw a nazi salute

    This is a stupid argument. In all of these cases including Elon the video gives the added context to prove none of them were doing the Nazi salute. Taking a still image and omitting all context should never be taken seriously.

    If you actually believe these people are doing the Nazi salute you are a moron. If you actually believe that Elon gave the Nazi salute you are also an idiot.

        Really the entirety of Germany? The land and air as well? All of them already gathered together and agreed that was a Nazi salute?

        I think what you mean is the chronically online far left Germans who call anyone they disagree with Nazis are calling Elon a Nazi for doing a “Nazi salute”.

        Reporting me for “misinformation” to who? The rest of you crazy fucks who are so comically detached from reality that you are collectively frothing at the mouth to call that man a Nazi? I’m sure they all already agree with you. Its kinda part of the deal with that hivemind.

        Meanwhile the rest of us over here in reality see a sad pathetic man who is diagnosed autistic (and probably more) who desperately wants to be adored by everyone. This is the same guy that awkwardly jumped for joy behind Trump a few months back. Nobody actually does that except for like cartoons, but again the man is not a normal person.

        With all of that said it is very clear from his words and other actions during that speech that he was literally trying to throw his heart out to the people in the crowd. Both the people in front of the podium and behind it.

        If you want to get semantic about the details of the actual Nazi salute you need to use a pointed hand with all five fingers pointing forward. He had his palm outwards with a gap to his thumb both times he threw his heart out.

        It’s funny to me how considerate the left claims to be about people with mental health issues or disorders until it’s someone they don’t like. And then it’s just “all made up” or “that’s not how it really works”.

        Just gonna add this to the growing pile of mask off behavior from y’all. It’s legitimately disgusting what I’m seeing in response to this whole situation.

            The German government also dropped all nuclear power making them completely reliant on neighboring countries for power. Some of that being oil from places like Russia.

            Pretty fucking stupid of them if you ask me.

            They have been wrong about things before and will be wrong about things again.

            Oh no! My only weakness is when they whip out an acronym whenever someone calls them out on their delusional behavior.

            You guys can keep calling me a Nazi all you want. It will never make it true.
