  Alright, man. I won’t die on this hill. He did a nazi salute.

  Now can we fucking move on? Israel launched an attack on the West Bank, and this stupid shit is dominating the news cycle.

    Yeah I think that this is pretty relevant if:
    The President of the country that provides most of the support and bombs for that’s Lead Advisor/Broligarch4Life is jumping around doing Nazi salutes at his celebration of power event. Right?

    Kinda implies how far we are gonna get elsewhere with them.

      His boosting of Nick Fuentes and other Neonazis on his platform, holocaust denial, and stupid “dark maga” hat he wore when endorsing Trump had zero plausible deniability, so that was enough for me. I guess I jumped the gun.

      The stuff he actually said during the speech, didn’t kinda imply where we’re going. It was pretty blatant.

      Safe cities = more militarisation of the police, police brutality, wider mass surveillance

      Secure borders = enforcing imaginary lines to do more police brutality and setting up concentration camps

      Sensible spending = de-funding social programs that actually address the root cause of "unsafe’ cities

      Going to Mars = It’s not going to be you nor I setting foot on the red planet. We’re going to be stuck here paying a monthly subscription for breathable air.

      Instead of being concerned about that, perhaps let’s discuss how the X logo resembles a swastika or how his side-combed haircut is very nazi-youth-group-esque.

        Oh yeah I think we are still just trying to get people who are looking away and pretend not to see it with at least the most obvious sign possible. I’m also being snarky about as a defense mechanism for the terror I feel.

        The dog whistles are loud as fuck to those that can hear them but that’s somehow not heard by the people, and they are basically just using regular whistles now.

        It’s annoying but we absolutely are still working on getting people to agree on base reality.
        Cause as of now people will be thankful of the subscription for air because “it’s from a regular helpful non fascist government unlike the dems” and we won’t get any action done against their designs if no one agrees that they are bad.

      It’s not that relevant if, prior to the man performing multiple nazi salutes, we already knew he was a full blown fascist.

        You’d think that this would be something that clearly, unambiguously and without any trace of plausible deniability proves that. But no, they STILL try to wiggle out of it. That’s why it’s relevant.

        And he even has the audacity to say afterwards that the “everyone is Nazi” accusation is getting old. This whole situation is bizarre.
