UK neo-Nazi groups ‘really excited’ by Elon Musk salute

1. Even neo-Nazis recognise it as a Nazi salute, yet every newspaper out there still refuses to recognise what we can see with our own eyes.

2. Of course they do. They know he supports them. The media will tiptoe around calling it a Nazi salute because they don’t want Musk to sue them, but that’s what it was.

3. “The Sunday National has been monitoring the activity of far-right groups and influencers active in Scotland and the UK on fringe social network Telegram since the riots in England last August. And some of them were quite energised, even excited about Musk’s gesture and what it meant.

   This has included figures within the international Active Club network – of which a Scottish branch launched in May 2023.

   Writing in the aftermath of Musk’s salute, the admin of a prominent Active Club channel, GYM XIV, said it was a “shift in the Overton window” – the range of subjects and arguments politically acceptable to the mainstream.

   “If Trump, Musk and all the other Betapolitical right has done something it’s this. They are players in this battle of values that have changed the frontlines. And right now we surf on a wave of energy,” the message said to the group’s more than 2900 followers.

   “A wave of faustian spirit reclaiming its rightful place in the heart and minds of our peoples. Whatever we think of certain political outcomes. It’s obvious. The game has changed dramatically.”

   …just pathetic. We beat this scum in the 40s, we’ll do it again.

4. The fact that Musk is more far-right than Reform and Farage, so much so that he wants Farage gone, is extremely concerning and as much as I don’t like throwing out the word Nazi it is actually applicable here

5. He essentially has given the green light to all Nazis in the West.

6. Of course they do!

   One of most powerful men in the world publicly went on stage and effectivity announced “am one of you”

   Short of re-opening gas chambers for immigrants i can’t think of anything that would make them more happy.

7. UK neo-nazis are crying out for a leader with a nice set of manboobs. Heil Tittler.

8. They’re going to be devastated when they realise it wasn’t a Nazi salute according to the right wing.

9. They would have a celebratory wank but that would involve lowering their hand.

10. The amount of pointless news about the awkward bellend is really getting tedious.

11. If, as Elon’s apologists are insisting on social media, his gesture wasn’t actually a Nazi salute, then I’m sure they will be lining up to loudly denounce Neo-Nazi groups welcoming the gesture.

12. How could they not be? The richest man in the world has signalled his support for them, in one fell swoop he’s normalised the worst possible thing you can do. But he’ll suffer no consequences; it’s everyone else who’ll suffer because of this.

13. Most of them get ‘really excited’ near primary schools.

14. After two weeks of denials that it walked like a duck and quacks, the Insititute for Duckology Enthusiasts weighs in to state that “That waddling quacking thing is a duck, yo”

15. Er why the fuck do known neo Nazi groups even exist here?! Surely they’re proscribed..?! I feel sick. We have to be severe in our treatment of these groups and stamp them out, they’re being fed and they’ll soon flourish and completely immiserate our society
