When I saw the headlines about musk, frankly I figured it wasn’t worth even looking at. The Trump show had begun, everything was going to be kind of accurate but maybe overemphasized at times. I imagined it was a weird wave because of his ketamine problem and he was probably high as usual.

Then I saw the clip.

Same, I saw the still image and thought, "oh this is like where they grab a still of them waving then are like 'look! Obama doing the Nazi salute!'"

Nope. Video was one of the most emphatic Nazi salutes I've ever seen. Twice!

Good idea, but how do you then denazify them? There's way too many Nazis to just "cut them off", it'd be like living in a rural town without using a car.

Not to say that Nazis are good, but that's a primarily defensive tactic, where we should be using offensive tactics like propaganda and sabotage. You're not living in the America you knew. The enemy surrounds us entirely and we have to understand that.

Normalizing fascism.

The sooner we accept we've reached that stage, the sooner we can do something about it.

I'm not holding my breath.

Start calling them Nazis and Nazi sympathizers, to start.

Honestly, the simple act of doing that has calmed a lot of the dissonance in my brain.

It was literally the nazis who got centrists to "water-down" the word nazi.

Intentional Stonetoss expression at the end?

Right? The guy's nose disappears, it's gotta be intentional

He's just into war reenactment and also expressing that his heart went out to him (/s).
