Comment on Democrats doing the nazi salute
Majorllama@lemmy.world 1 week agoWouldn’t this make my point even more? The ADL is saying that it’s not a Nazi salute even after Elon went after them like that a few years ago.
Like there are so many valid reasons to shit all over Elon, but y’all are latched into this one like it owes you fuckin money. You can keep screaming that he and anyone that defends that speech are all Nazis but it will never make it true.

You brought up the ADL as if they were some kind of authority here. Now you’re agreeing with Elon about them being unjust attackers.

Y’all were all about the ADL for the last 10+ years and now that they said something you don’t agree with you’re trying to say they aren’t an entity to listen to. Which one is it? Is the ADL correct about all the things they went after the right for over the last decade plus or have they always been a sham?

Who is Y’all?
The political left and right have had their issues with the ADL in the past, so I’m not really sure what it is you’re trying to say here.
Should we go with the ADL when they say Elon didn’t Nazi salute, or should we not listen to them because Elon doesn’t think they criticize who they should?
The “which is it” question is yours alone to make as you were the first one that brought them up.

The “y’all” is me broadly addressing the Dems and anyone that would identify as left. I haven’t seen anyone bashing the ADL from the left until this Elon situation. I mostly heard of people on the right saying the ADL sucks and is full of communists or whatever they feel like calling people they don’t like that day.
This Elon thing happened and (to me) it looks like the teams did a lil swap. Suddenly the right loves the ADL for coming to defend their golden child and the left is saying the ADL have sucked for a long time.
Now it’s probable I missed some grievances the left may have had for ADL in the past as I generally ignore things like the ADL. But that’s not a slight against the ADL. I just don’t listen to any 3 letter agencies. It goes against my religion.
