    I’m not American, so I’m just now catching up with what happened over there yesterday. The first time I saw this image (elsewhere), I was praying that this was AI-generated. And I hate seeing AI-generated stuff and I’m not religious either. I still wish it was AI but now I know it’s not and… jesus christ.

    Honestly I try not to get caught up in all the drama.

    I could care less about what they do since I don’t have any control over it.

      First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a socialist.

      Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a trade unionist.

      Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew.

      Then they came for me— and there was no one left to speak for me.

        We aren’t talking about Nazi Germany here. If there is something going down I want to know about it. However, so far it is just been more gossip type stuff than anything.

          We aren’t talking about Nazi Germany here.

          In a thread with a video of Elon Musk giving a Nazi Seig Heil twice. The same Elon Musk who threw down his support of Germany’s far-right AfD party. The same Elon Musk who threw a live event for them on Twitter.

          If you can’t see what’s going on here you have done a miraculous job at keeping yourself ignorant. This is all about Nazi Germany. Except that now it’s Nazi America.

            Well America is backing Israel so I don’t see Antisemitic views going anywhere.

            Currently a lot of the Anti semitism come from people blaming Jews for what’s happening in Gaza. There have been a lot of attacks on Mosques and even some anti Israel protests in front of them.

            In short I don’t think the Trump administration is Nazi. There other words you could use but Nazi is not one of them.

              No one (except for a very few nut jobs) is blaming Jews for the genocide that is happening, they’re blaming the state of Israel. The current government and individual people making the decisions. Disagreeing with apartheid Israel does not equal ‘blaming jews’.

              Also, look into Christian Zionism. There are a lot of literal nazis and other antisemites who are thrilled about backing Israel right now, because they think that this is all part of a prophecy that brings about the end times or something… And this prophecy does not end well for Jews. So no, supporting Israel does not necessarily mean someone isn’t antisemetic right now either.

              I’d be quite interested in what that would be…

              That they have the courage to actually do a Nazi-salute, very likely without consequences, what is it if it is not Nazi?

              I think you’re under the impression that Nazis only killed Jews or that they have a particular link with them. Nearly half the victims of the holocaust were not Jews. They didn’t even start with killing Jews. They worked up to them later. They started with homosexuals, the disabled, sick, Slavic peoples, Roma (gypsies).

              The numbers generally referenced are that of the 11 million people murdered in the holocaust, 6 million were Jewish, and 5 million were not.

            That’s fair enough

            I just find it annoying that some people take a few clips and images and draw wild conclusions. Right now the US is backing Israel so I don’t think we will see Trump attacking Jews any time soon.

              Jews weren’t the sole target of the Nazis. Liberals, socialists, communists, union members, homosexuals etc etc.
              I don’t think anyone believes Musk and his bestie is gonna round up Jews in concentration camps. But maybe in time it could be the aforementioned people.

              So Elon Musk heiling on stage, expressing love for the nazi-lite patry in Germany (of all places) and the President cozying up to Israel where one of the minister describes himself as “fascist” is maybe not wild conclusions.

              Not seeing this for what it is is missing the forrest for all trees.

        The problem is liberals only speak out, in action they don’t do shit to protect the vulnerable, they never hold their own politicians accountable for their inaction.

      That’s the Russian way. „I don’t have control, I don’t really know, better not get involved“.

      The problem is, I kind of feel the same way. It’s just too much at some point.

        Doesn’t Trump get to take credit for both the ceasefire & saving TikTok, a pro-Palestine platform? I used to think only Republicans were dumb, but then they lost to the candidate they claimed was the most idiotic.

            I’d say it makes them sound like an edgy teen. But all the things you said are valid as well. Plus, teens smell as bad, if not worse, as trolls.

    I dont think Elon Musk is a nazi. I’ve never seen any evidence that he is a nazi nor have I ever seen any presented. I think he is an asshole that harasses people for his personal satisfaction. He is so rich that no matter what happens he, his children, and all their children will all enjoy the highest quality lives available. There may also be some chemical addiction mixed in there as well as some mental illness.
