Disclaimer: I know the flag looks like shit. I didn't really try and make a well done, symmetric n**i flag. The entire point is to illustrate the general intent, not to make a symmetric "asshole flag".

Edit: the sample size isn't that big yet, but around 20% (19.51% as of this edit) of downvotes is definitely uncannily aligned with the average percentage of far right voters... (I'd show data from the US too, but you guys haven't yet learned how to count to three in politics... So data is severely lacking.)

Lol, and Hitler self identified as a socialist, your point?? You calling yourself the thing doesn't matter if you don't act like the thing you're calling yourself.

And Musk is acting like a Nazi.

As for how being polite to Nazis makes you (and Elon) a Nazi - you're enablers, making you actively part of giving them power. You're making them feel welcome when they shouldn't be welcomed anywhere. You bolster their confidence and allow them a platform to spew their hate from, and they do. Clearly that hate isn't aimed at you (and it definitely isn't at Musk) so obviously you don't give a shit, but some of us aren't that fucking privileged.

I'm sure you're familiar with the paradox tolerance and are choosing to ignore it, but it talks exactly about people like you.
And people like you look like this to the rest of us on the left.

    The paradox of tolerance presupposes the people in question have political motivations in line with something like fascism.

    I simply don't agree with the presupposition that Musk is this way inclined, so it's a moot point.

    I don't know why you think I'm enabling Nazis. What did I ever say to give you that impression?
