Mildly Infuriating

The link between zionism and nazism is strong.

The only good nazis are dead nazis.

What's funny (not really) it's the media calling it a "nazi style salute" or "a gesture that looked like a nazi salute".

Their head is so far up their asses that they can't even call it what it was.

You know what the worst part of this is? This run of western fascism doesn't even have the aesthetics to make it palatable. That "seig heil" was so fucking uncoordinated it made the Australian break dancing lady look like a prima ballerina. Everyone is dressed like they bought clothes from the bargain bin at Ross. The decorations are giving mid-budget state fair.

We're gonna be ethnically cleansed by old, poorly dressed, unatheltic losers 😭

Nah, this belongs in "ActuallyHorrifying"

This and what Putin's presidency turned out to become in the long run is what I now happen to imagine largely felt like to witness the Nazis rise to power.

You just don't know what's coming before it's actually there. The historical evidence even shows that the Nazis weren't that out-of-touch with reality at first, at least in terms of what was largely acceptable back in their day - like rights to land, borders, with many countries and nations being in a very turbulent state after the first World War. It's only after they got the power and set up the frameworks, like gradually oppressive laws and manipulating opinions and values through propaganda, that they went to do what we ultimately associate them with.

Putin spoke very high of "the west" and democracy and such at first, but quickly showed his true self when the Kursk sank, then with Beslan (the Nord Ost), then many more times, but back in the day, without today's hindsight, it seemed so... plausibly deniable? Like people could just vote him out the next time or excuse some things with the same traumas and biases that still brewed in the generations born in or shorty after the USSR. Now a full-blown tyrant, modernized to dictate through deceit, looking wild compared to his first days - a proper example of boiling the proverbial frog; turning the dial little by little, either compounding into some greater evil or simply revealing its true self, both equally inconsequential in the end.

Trump and Musk, similarly, have for the most part been interesting characters, so bizarre that excepting anything more felt naive, beyond the realm of possible. And yet again, unless there is enough backlash early on, people like this will keep pushing, until they lead us to the edge.

I never wanted to see for myself how something so terrible can rise to power, seemingly past everyone's attention. It's dreadful to think that the lessons of history are bets learned on one's own mistakes, that the Germany's experience is not enough to generate the unrest that keeps such people out of power.

I'm not even on the same continent as these two, but I know they'll be influencing a whole lot of change around the world, change that will never benefit any way.

The more things change...

So people told me I was being an overdramatic dick when I pointed the multiple similarities between the rise of Hitler and Trump and how the Nazis are coming back.

They're back, out and disgustingly proud.

I'll be showing them the footage and awaiting their bullshittery gymnastics. Wonder how they will spin it.

Looked this up as I optimistically thought it might be an unfortunate still that looked nothing like a nazi salute on video, but nope.

Elon's Nazi salute

My car depreciated 50% in one day.... Or maybe it appreciated? That's depressing.

He once were in Poland visiting the concentration camp Ausschwitz with his son. He has nothing learned about this visit. It's a disgusting man. And it's high time to arrest him. Ban him. Take all his money and assets and put it for good use. Or send him to mars. Immediately. Solo mission.

What's wrong with him??? Really

It is amazing people are still making excuses for this.

What a dumb fucking cunt. I hope he dies a terrible death. Rather sooner than later.

I can't be fucked to go and see. Tired, been working in the cold.

Is this getting much mainstream coverage or is it being ignored?

A 14 years old edgelord who also happens to be the richest man in the world, to own a social network with which to manipulate public opinion. He has just bought the US presidency.

In Austria, he'd already be arrested... twice!
