Comment on Is there any non-zero possibility Musk was not doing a Hitler Salute?

  It is both a literal neonazi salute as shown in this example with the hand over heart and even without that the thrusting motion to outstretched arm on its own is blatantly obvious. Stop giving this shithead a single crumb of doubt.

    Y’all don’t even read these posts, do you?

    it’s quite telling that he instinctively used that gesture

    OP nailed it. I doubt his dumbass went up there intending to throw that, but the gesture is clearly part of his “vocabulary”. It’s both hilarious and sad that people think Musk and Trump work with deep calculation.

    But of course, you feel OP is defending Musk, or at least giving him the benefit of the doubt. So we get treated to pic #516 comparing salutes. We know.

      We already knew. The important thing OP pondered on was the reflexive nature of it. I agree with OP, not certain that was planned, the fascist just came out.

      Constantly bring it up, never let it go.

  Along the lines of my thoughts.

  it’s quite telling that he instinctively used that gesture

  There it is. People that don’t go walking around saying N*****, don’t accidentally slip it into conversation. Same here. Even if unintentional in the moment, well, he obviously walks around saying N*****. That gesture was clearly part of his “vocabulary”. You get it.

  And if it was merely an exuberant, “Fuck yeah!” thing, damn near every American ever would have done it with a fist. Been walking America for 54 years, never seen that salute unless it was a jokey “Heil Hitler” move.

  And… of course lemmy downvotes you for trying to discuss this. Comrade, you must immediately and perfectly toe the party line. That first sentence made these morons think you’re a sympathizer. We don’t read past the first phrase around here. If you had put your last sentence first, you would have been golden. (Gods, lemmy users are child’s play to manipulate.)
