      I had the same message displayed.

      But do I really want to see an animated nazi salute?

    There are things that happen to people who are nazis.

    The thing that should really give nazis pause is, even if they win, they still lose. It’s not like they’re gonna have a good life in whatever society they think they’re making.

      There are things that happen to people who are nazis.

      Those things usually aren’t just done by random people alone. They happen because people were networked,organized and working together.

      The number of days left to begin organizing are getting less and less.

      It’s super annoying isn’t it? The video is superbly clear. He did it, he did it on purpose, and he knew what it meant. You can see it, and his intent easily.

    Distraction & diversion. He’s revealed his “secrets” in length in the past about his calculated moves in puppeteering the media and general discourse, preventing us from focusing on what’s actually important. It’s already working on the shoddy news media of 2025. Don’t let it work on general discourse as well

    This was in the same speech where he said that the Holy Spirit was working through Trump to do all of this, and that Trump should have a third term and beyond.

    It’s becoming obvious that we should be treating Trumpism as a religious cult, not just a political movement.

    Not another accidental Nazi salute! These clumsy Nazis keep accidentally throwing that Nazi salute around completely by mistake!

    And every conservative in America is silent.

    Silence is complicity.

    No more excuses. No more feigned ignorance.

    I think this is a stretch and i do this sometimes as well. An outreached hand as a greeting or similar. The Nazi salute is very obvious and has a strong flat hand at like 45 degrees. This doesn’t look like that.

      The top image but not the others. Do it now. Notice how your fingers are relaxed and spaced apart, not held rigid and bunched together like they would be for a salute.

        That’s what I’m saying. His hand looks too relaxed to be considered the Nazi salute. Musks hand was very rigid and straight

      Considering the current context of the political climate in America, if you didn’t want to associate yourself with Nazis you would steer clear of anything that might associate you with being a Nazi. Especially while on a public podium.

      Hey look they mentioned you in the article

      … though Musk has not as of this date specifically denied the accusations that the gesture was a Nazi salute. However, for reasons one can only guess at, others took the liberty of denying that on his behalf, unprompted.

      You don’t need to make excuses.

      This is Steve Bannon. And he’s doing a poor man’s Nazi salute so he can claim plausible deniability after the fact. He even responds with a smile when the crowd cheers it.

      Stop making excuses for fascists.

    It’s not exactly the same as Musk’s (doesn’t thump his heart first) – which is probably the point. Trying to sneak in more completely implausible “plausible deniability.” Nobody’s fooled. It looks like a duck, it’s a duck.

      I agree mostly but #1 and #5 just look like a sideways wave. I don’t think it’s a duck and shouldn’t be thrown in as a duck when there’s 5 other pictures that very much look like a duck

        The #1 clip is Eduardo Verastegui, a former actor who is now trying to start a far right political party in Mexico, so he knows what he’s doing there. He outwardly said that he was following Musk’s lead and “threw his heart out” like he did.

        At the end of his speech he did an actual sideways wave, but the one in this clip is the heil, make no mistake

      he didn’t cover it though. that cunt from fox news was more savvy about it. this guy just did the salute but didn’t grunt like a fucking troglodyte.
