Wild that these perfectly normal unusual waves keep happening among Trump’s inner circle during speeches. These perfectly average waves that look quite a lot like sieg heils and have never really been sighted or performed outside of these perfectly normal waves that have started happening since Trump’s inauguration.

Everybody can see through your bullshit. You should educate yourself about the Nuremburg trials.

Sorry, I meant “Everybody” above a room temperature IQ. Nuremberg trials are the final destination of fascism and its supporters. Because actions have consequences
So where are these salutes coming from? Are all of these shitstains attending nazi rallies somewhere amd are literally knee-jerking when they get to a podium?
I honestly think the feud with Elon is fueled by jealousy to be Trumps Nazi.
I mean, Bannon started this whole thing. He was pushed out of the inner circle but he was the one with the vision back in 2016.
Bannon is a visionary and he had the right idea. He just didn’t have the ability to execute. Trump took the ideas from Bannon and found new allies who have the ability to execute. Musk (and Thiel) were more than happy to jump on board
He wants to be in control not Musk.
Somehow Palpatine returned
Fuck me, I’m scared for my friends in the States
I’m scared for my friends outside of the States.
I would worry much more about refugees and people outside the imperial core. Zios are literally genociding people in Palestine…
Me too, and in my 17 years of living there many people were trying to tell them what was happening, but their “American Exceptionalism” and “I don’t care about politics” or “I’d rather just work on myself” mentality they used to ignore the writing on the walls makes me feel for them a lot less. If anything it makes me more afraid for them than ever now that it’s gotten this bad and there’s still nothing close to the 1960’s in terms of leftist movements. It’s just hard to organize in a country that’s willing to drop bombs on Philadelphia in 1985 when people start organizing.
But then I remember how okay Americans are with all this, and that in reality all along they’ve been a fascist country that has wanted and practiced fascist ideals for a long long time now. I remember what Americans do to people that try to help - not just kill them, but worst of all ignore them afterwards. A big part of me thinks America needs to go through an unspeakable horror of their own making, otherwise they can never wake up. And you can bet that Russia and China will rush in to give weapons to both sides of the next American conflict (one could argue they already are.)
Send help :(
I hate Illinois Nazis.
Apparent? Shut the fuck up.
Throwing in the word “apparent” is cowardly, but it’s also a lot cheaper than being sued for libel by a fucking billionaire.
So at what point of doing something does it actually become the thing that it was?
Seems pretty obvious to me.
From a legal point of view it hasn’t been tried in a court of law, which is why words like “apparently” and “allegedly” are used.
By that logic, it would impossible to report on literally anything.
Yes. It’s impossible to report objectively on capitalists with enough control to sue. This has been shown again and again.
Yet here they are, reporting on it.
Badly.
Less than perfectly, due to the constraints of the system they are forced to operate within.*
You are, of course, free to start up a news agency that fulfills every ideal you hold close, just know that you’ll have to have a lot of funding if you’re going to be spending as much time in court defending against libel lawsuits as you spend on reporting.
Yeah. They’re cowards because they don’t want to lose any money saying the truth.
Nah. Getting sued for libel is what these outlets should be absolutely proud to have sent their way. That’s literally a news story in itself. It would also means he’d actually have to defend it instead of posting Nazi puns on Twitter.
Oxford’s top definition for Apparent is “clearly visible or understood; obvious”
And the second (which is how they are using it) is “seeming real or true, but not necessarily so”.
I think the third one is “brother, i really don’t wanna get sued of that shit.” Pretty sure they are using that one.
Having read the article, that doesn’t seem to be the case. The undertones of the writing seem to be “There have been some attempts to deny that these are Nazi salutes (and not from the people making the gestures), but plausible deniability is rapidly running out and it definitely looks exactly like a Nazi salute”.
Dodging shackles of the new Ministry of Truth
The space karen one was blatantly apparent, this was a pretty half assed attempt. Like he is too much of a bitch to put his contemptible fascist ideology on full display.
In this case I think the point is to be on the nose about how fucking ridiculous it is - just from this article:
Steve Bannon made a gesture that is identical to a Nazi salute
Bannon made the gesture — extending his arm, palm down, fingers straight, at an upward angle away from his chest, which is also what Nazi salutes look like
the gesture was also identical to one made by billionaire Elon Musk
extended his arm straight out, palm down, fingers straight, at an upward angle away from his chest. Which, whatever the billionaire’s intention, just happens to be precisely how a Nazi salute is performed.
Musk repeated the gesture. Here’s how that looked. <pic of Musk doing a Nazi salute>
I also wouldn’t be surprised if the DoJ would be specifically ordered to look at this case. When you’re challenging power, it makes sense to cross your Ts and dot your Is.
Getting upset when journalists explicitly flag their interpretations is pretty fucked up.
“Interpreting” a sieg heil is pretty fucked up and complicit.
They came to the same fucking interpretation as you did, but that’s still not good enough. “Apparently” they don’t just have to oppose nazis, they have to participate in your daily Two Minutes Of Hate. Clearly differentiating between objective observation and the inferences drawn from those objective observations IS A GOOD THING. So fucking fragile.
I’d like to go back to a simpler time. A time when nazis got shot in the fucking face.
You can help return to that time today!
It’s always incredible to see how so many people say they’re willing to do something is contrasted with the close to zero people who do it.
I’m 100% sure if you remove the momentum of the system your statement will become a lie.
You mean remove the bread and circus? Definitely. But that’s not going to happen.
Otherwise I don’t know what you’re getting at.
By momentum I mean all these services and people that were keeping everything running who are now fired.
Well then you’re supporting what I said, not proving it’s a lie.
If you fire someone you remove their ability to access bread and circus.
It’s always incredible to see how so many people say they’re willing to do something is contrasted with the close to zero people who do it.
This is what you said. There are plenty of movements right now that are protesting this. Not many want to turn to violence yet because that is even more destructive than this. If you aren’t seeing people act Idk what to tell you.
Join your local SRA or PSL. We need more comrades. Us Socialist have the top score for killing Nazis and it’s not even fucking close.
Edit: Socialist Rifle Association. Party for Socialism and Liberation.
If it quacks like a nazi…
In times past, anyone doing anything like that around the president would have put the president on the fast track to impeachment.
Today, this will just slide, and we’ll have another piece of outrageous news tomorrow that nobody will be outraged about for more than 10 minutes. Different values today I guess…
It’s not so much values as it is a lack of power in the working class. These things can be done because the greater population has no power or influence. Since their is no organization to resist it the mass of the population falls into two areas of “cope”. The crowd that knows it’s fucked up and has no one to organize against it. And the crowd that knows it’s fucked up but “no one is doing anything” so they find a place to normalize or deny it. It’s not “really” a Nazi salute.
You may call this “values”. But I’d say it’s more about how well the ruling class has controlled and passified the population.
Also, when half the country is worried about putting food on the table or paying rent. They really don’t have time to give a fuck. Material conditions really shape what we might perceive as a “lack of values”.
Impeachment in the US seems to be meaningless too, though
It really is. It does fucking nothing.
It’s because impeachment is a partisan process. If the Republicans had an ounce of integrity (or even self-preservation) they would have joined the Democrats in voting to convict when Trump was impeached multiple times previously.
The second time was their easiest out. He wasn’t President, he had just lost an election, most of the country was disgusted with his antics post-election or at least just tired with it all.
They could’ve kneecapped him right then and barred him from running again. He would have left Washington a pariah. Most Republians hated the man, and this was their chance to shoot the rabid dog, but they were afraid of getting primaried over it. Which itself is ridiculous because most of the GOP senators were 3-5 years from their next primary.
That was when the GOP was fully-captured.
The goal of fox news post nixon was to prevent anything similar to what happened to nixon as a result of watergate. That and the fact that wall street robber barons were mot punished for the business plot fascist coup attempt against fdr and then the son and grandson of that coup attempt’s primary architect were both sitting presidents and now America has been obviously fascist to anyone paying attention the last 40-50 years now they are so emboldened they don’t even try and hide it.
Dude. Punctuation.
It is my sincere hope the hangman chokes them to death instead of snapping the neck.
Arm up, folks. Nazis don’t go away peacefully.
Nah I think peacefully occupying a sidewalk that oligarchs never walk on or care about even maintaining is the best idea, we should keep doing that for 40 more years, that’ll work!
Can’t you just change your avatar to something?
And nobody who refused to accept it the first time will accept it now.
Fuckin’ Nazi fuck
Good. I want more of them to do it. Let’s get past the phase where people still try to rationalize ways in which it’s not what it literally is.
Let’s get past the phase where people still try to rationalize ways in which it’s not what it literally is.
What’s sad is that right now on my screen the comment above yours is someone trying to claim it isn’t a Nazi salute because…blah blah blah.
I’m with you though. I hope they all out themselves. Makes them easier to find and deal with.
