Comment on X.com blocks access to Ekrem Imamoglu, leader of Turkish opposition
brucethemoose@lemmy.world 1 year agoAs 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.
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.
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”
That must be specific to whatever app you are using. It isn’t in the default ones.
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.
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.

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.

Here’s the full, non cropped video. It’s around the 1:15 mark.

It’s not around the 1:15 mark, it’s around the 2min mark. Same “salute” as Musk.

It really isn’t. It’s not even close. You said I had gold medal mental gymnastics, but you’ve just done another gold medal performance.

Tim Waltz does not have eugenics-adjacent beliefs.
Also, I think you may have missed what “red herring” means.
FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au 1 year 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.
brucethemoose@lemmy.world 1 year ago
And you are bringing up a red herring (salutes) that doesn’t matter, because, well, I don’t know. But that’s the whole point of the saying.

Yes notice the crisp snappy way waltz did it? With fingers together, and twice so there is no way to doubt what it was? Ohhh wait sorry that was elons.

One of these things is not like the other
