Some people wouldn’t know a Nazi if he was sending people to camps without trial, trying to outlaw the political opposition, fomenting a cult of personality, launching coups, oppressing the most vulnerable people, ratcheting up racist attacks, and threatening to attack Denmark.

I believe he likes to be called Winnie

He’s certainly a fascist autocrat

The word ‘nazi’ has 100% lost its meaning.
Might as well just be saying “I don’t like this person or group of people because they disagree with me.”

Dude, Musk literally thinks he has superior genes. The fuck are you high on?
SereneSadie@lemmy.myserv.one 10 months ago
Nazis are opposed to the basic human rights of anyone who isn’t a white hetero, usually a man.
Nazi sympathisers deserve a bullet in the head. That includes you.
gradual@lemmings.world 10 months ago
I guess we can start adding ‘nazi sympathizer’ to the list of terms that have lost their meaning.
Remember, you only have people like yourself to blame.

As a serious answer, Musk is into modern variants of eugenics and some scary techno-authoritarian stuff he shares with Peter Theil and other Silicon Valley royalty.
Maybe he’s a techno-neonazi? That’s just semantics.
His alleged Nazi salute is indeed kind of a red herring. But “Nazi” is an reasonable enough descriptor for his beliefs.

Tim Waltz did the exact same salute btw. The same Tim Waltz that says that Trump 100% did a nazi salute.

It is funny how the video clearly disproves your lying claim.
T00l_shed@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Here’s the full, non cropped video. It’s around the 1:15 mark.
FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au 10 months ago
It’s not around the 1:15 mark, it’s around the 2min mark. Same “salute” as Musk.
brucethemoose@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Tim Waltz does not have eugenics-adjacent beliefs.
Also, I think you may have missed what “red herring” means.
FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au 10 months ago
I didn’t misinterpret that, I was simply pointing out that it wasn’t a nazi salute unless you also think Tim Waltz is a nazi.

One of these things is not like the other

Note how Jin, the Nazi Defender (not a Nazi themselves, they just defend people who are justifiably called Nazis) won’t respond to your answer.
One feature from Reddit I liked was the ability to tag people. Or maybe that was the reddit enhancement suite. But Jin would’ve earned himself a big red “Nazi Defender” tag.
stopdropandprole@lemmy.world 10 months ago
you can also tag people on Lemmy, or at least I can. look for the menu button on a user name/profile and “Add Tag”
Merva@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
That must be specific to whatever app you are using. It isn’t in the default ones.
WetBeardHairs@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Hmm… I definitely don’t see an About user menu or Add Tag or Tag User on their profile. Maybe it has something to do with your lemmy browser.
brucethemoose@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Nah its much simpler label than that.
“Troll”
The topic doesn’t matter, it more about fishing for provocation. In this case I couldn’t help myself, but… you know, don’t feed the trolls.

You are the one being all sensitive and whiney about people calling out Musk. You need to grow up and learn people aren’t beholden to your disingenous bullshit.
DarkFuture@lemmy.world 10 months ago
If you perform a Nazi salute, you’re a Nazi.
Musk performed TWO Nazi salutes on national television during a presidential inauguration.
Musk owns X.
Anymore questions? Do I need to illustrate with crayons?
FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au 10 months ago
Tim Waltz, one of the people vigorously calling Musk a Nazi for doing that action, is on video doing the exact same “salute”:
You’ll agree Tim Waltz is a Nazi, I assume?

Italian here, Roman actually.
The Roman salute has not origin in ancient history.
It was formalized by Gabriele D’Annunzio, a sick fascist poet and writer, as a salute for his proto-fascist troops with which he occupied Fiume in modern-day Croatia, having been inspired this painting.
So yea, the roman salute is a fascist salute, invented by a fascist, for a fascist occurrence and to call it roman is a disservice to Rome and history in general.

It has. Completely. Basically what it means today is “people who disagree with me” and should be regarded as such. Unfortunately the actual nazis will fly under the radar now.
