@ditsch42 Unfortunately the whole βdonβt let the nazis take overβ argument was lost long ago. I also heard about that and itβs my understanding that thatβs the quite literal new nazi party minus the antisemitism.

By now I don't believe anymore that people don't know where this is going, they just think that they will be on the Nazi's good side so they won't suffer.
Mankind is stupid and history repeats itself, but we can only become a little less stupid when we realize we are repeating ourselves.

Yes.
The fact that they are cowardly is also how Trump managed to become president despite being a convicted felon.
Our main-stream (corporate owned) media has gone into a defensive crouch pretty quickly. But we have many, many other places to get informed. Like Mastodon!
I would hate myself if I worked for that guy, if I am in a relaitionship with that guy, if I am a family member of that guy or if Iβm related to that guy at all.
Elon Musk is a rich man, a super rich man. ThatΒ΄s the only reason why the world is talking about him. Take from every Mastodon user just 2,5 β¬ and look a few years later how much you can earn with a few more ideas. Elon Musk is one of the single people who are having billions. Do you know what he is against fort knox?
ThatΒ΄s politics too when pokliticians not acting, about left or right?

@stinerman how though? I live in New Hampshire and we have a known Nazi cell out by Keane and Claremont. Itβs not anything thatβs deniable because they are loud and proud.
They come to the capital whenever thereβs a drag queen at a coffee shop, last time they gathered to harass people their dear leader died suddenly afterwards. It was a whole thing because even some of the Nazis were celebrating that he was gone and then the other Nazis were mad about it.

tell me about it... even Snopes has an article saying "well Musk didn't tell us whether he meant these as Nazi salutes or not... so there's really no way of knowing!".

And the ADL is trying to pretend that what we can all see (twice) wasnβt what we saw, too.
Cowards and collaborators, all of them.
Following Alice Weidel's argument that Hitler was a communist, this wasn't a fascist, but communist salute (?)
Just thinking.

The fact he did it twice, once to the crowd and once to the flag, and it was even more blatant the second time is crazy.
No one seems to be talking about the second one, when looks even worse IMHO.
@JustinMac84 this is a good quote, but at the same time, if a meteorologist is saying itβs raining and itβs not, if a journalist is writing about the weather I would like to know what meteorologists are liars and which ones know what rain looks like.
Itβs a great quote, but it needs more. I donβt want the journalists to pretend liars arenβt lying just because they can get the correct information themselves.
You'd think at least here in Germany everyone would see it for exactly what it is, but nope. We're all fucked

@lowrah @elena I wonder if theyβre avoiding using the word βNaziβ because of all the platformsβ automatic censorships, they donβt want their article to be filtered out by Facebook filters.
Kind of like when women have to talk about βgrapistsβ on TikTok or YouTube.
Itβs not to diminish the weight of the word βrapeβ or to avoid calling out a criminal or the criminal act, itβs because if they use that word their video will be removed. But of course censoring the word from being spoken or mentioned on social media websites diminishes the weight of the crime, but thatβs a different topic.

Yes, they are. In Finland only one media has a headline "Musk made a nazisalute" The rest are talking about a strange salute etc.
Yet again, the Finnish media has difficulties with far-right anyways. Only terrorist are called with the word far-right, otherwise they use softening euphemism.
And look at where we have head on that road - a far-right party in the government. A far-right party, that the Finnish media doesn't call as one. And is even a tad uppset, when foreign media does.
#newspapers , the #sueddeutsche, merely called it 'caused irritation with a gesture that is reminiscent of the H****r salute'.
It's just strengthened my resolve to do without tech or apps from those companies and to get my news from other sources than mainstream media.
Lies.
Nazi-Fascism is back, hatred and terror will come, again.

Yeah, the amount they scream about "Communism" is laughable compared to their responses to open fascists.
Having an account on "X" has become a statement, since a long time now.
And that statement has become more and more clear.
Up to this point, I'd resisted the accusation, because cynicism is its own deeply corrosive agent of cultural destruction and should be avoided.
But I will now. There is no excuse for failing to call this out, and doing so NOW. Any organ that fails to is cowardly, and ultimately complicit.
People of the past gave their lives for the societies and liberties we take for granted now. We must at least be willing to risk some discomfort in respect to their sacrifice, or else it was wasted.
My emotional response is profound; it causes me to sob and cry every time I see it.
Further, I still have the same emotional reaction to January 6 now as I did then and am suffering this instant.
The fear I felt in November of 2016 proved to be greater than the reality but now I'm more fearful than I've ever been.
he didn't just do it once, he did it twice for the people in back.
It's not even being in denial at this point, it's outright supporting it by trying to brush it off.
no it makes sense, they could get sued for defamation if they print it as if itβs fact and thatβs not what he was doing
Just because the Dems never sued anyone for defamation because, I donβt know why I guess they like to lose, doesnβt mean that the Republicans donβt know how to use the courts as weapons.
It makes me wonder why nobody ever got sued for calling people a pedophile. Maybe it wasnβt slander after all? Thatβs the only thing I can think of and Iβm extremely disappointed by all of them
Itβs almost like they go through a menopause of their own but it stripped them of that filter in their head that makes them not want to be a creep.
It's not just mainstream journalism. The problem seems to be a chronic one. Even the left-liberal Jewish Forward.com writes:
"Elon Musk appears to do Nazi salute at Trump inauguration rally"
I don't know how we ended up in this timwline.

Elon Musk appears to do Nazi salute at Trump inauguration event β The Forward
The tech billionaire stiffly extended his arm to the crowd twice in a gesture similar to a Nazi salute during Trump's inauguration eventThe Forward
they seem too cowardly to note he probably did this knowingly too
knowing that it would enrage the left and play super well with his fanboys (partly because it so inflames the left) and becaue of both generare yet more publicity for him, and make him feel like the center of attention and master manipulator
and also knowing that he will do similar again, and again, and again
part of fighting this behaviour must be starving him of the attention he so craves. Stop using his name and picture. Refer to him as "one of 47's sychophants" or something
NYT has an article on it, though it is of course both-sidesy: nytimes.com/2025/01/20/us/poliβ¦
#GiftLink I couldnβt turn up anything about Muskβs nazi salute in the Washington Postβs search engine, though.
Anyway, congrats to US federal election-eligible voters who safeguarded their moral purity by voting third party or not voting at all.

I think that they don't get they way (those who do), rather they show what they've normally been. At that point one can either let it all hang out (aggressing those around) or do the work to address the issues. Musk seems not to be in the latter category.
The CBC isn't even the worst; at least they acknowledge that it might be a "fascist salute." The New York Times headlined an article "Elon Musk Ignites Online Speculation Over the Meaning of a Hand Gesture," as if the paper didn't exist in the 1930s and 40s.
