  1. Can publications literally just call it for what it is in the headline for the love of God.

  2. It. Was. A. Nazi. Salute. Jesus fucking christ, it’s not hard.

  3. Waiting for the “it was just a wave” “he was just trolling” brain-dead takes. 

  4. When did the US lose its mind…

    Not gonna lie, I totally feel sorry for you all.

  5. is this what ya’ll voted for? how is anyone going to defend this?

    the musk excuses were already bullshit but there’s no logical way to deny this.

  7. It’s a fucking Nazi salute, jesus fuck. Just call it what it is.

  9. I’m sick. I knew this was coming. But I’m still sick.

  11. I still can’t get used to time zones while traveling… suddenly it’s 1930 in the US

  15. He wants to kill anyone who isn’t white/European, and he’ll kill them too if they try to help brown people. 

    That’s it. That’s what’s going on. 

  16. No he mimicked Hitlers salute. Like Elon also did.

  17. ITS
    A
    NAZI
    SALUTE

    For fucks sake man. any person that writes headlines like this is also a Nazi

  18. Just rebrand it a MAGA salute. A distinction without difference

  19. Guy was feeling irrelevant and needed to join the club by…giving a Nazi salute of solidarity. Yay.

  21. week one: call Elon the antichrist

    week four: mimic his every move

  22. Just proves that while there are many fascists, they do not always stick together.

  23. Pretty soon everyone in MAGA is going to be telling us that they’re all “autistic,” while attempting to normalize this shit. Just a whole movement “on the spectrum,” as an excuse, doing the salute. All while telling us we’re not seeing exactly what we are seeing.

    We see it. Goddammit. We see it.

  24. A couple of quotes from Kurt Vonnegut’s *Mother Night*:

    “There are plenty of good reasons for fighting…but no good reason to ever hate without reservation, to imagine that God Almighty hates with you, too. Where’s evil? It’s that large part of every man that wants to hate without limit, that wants to hate with God on its side. It’s that part of every man that finds all kinds of ugliness so attractive….it’s that part of an imbecile that punishes and vilifies and makes war gladly.”

    “We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful what we pretend to be.”

  25. Why are liberal sources not calling it a Nazi Salute. Not one. It’s either “questionable gesture” or “controversial” or “what appeared to be”…..grow a pair and call a spade a spade (or in this case Nazi).

  26. My co-worker’s dad fought in WWII and has an unhinged hate for Nazis. I think about him whenever I see these articles.

    Dude literally fought Nazis and saw his friends die in battle because of Nazis. And here we are in America. Flipping the Nazi salute.

  27. jesus, he is mimicking hitler with a zieg heil,

    not ‘elon’ with a very ‘touchy-wavy-handy’,

    do you need it in caps?

    HE IS MIMICKING FUCKING HITLER WITH A NAZI ZIEG FUCKING HEIL

  28. Call it what it is, cowards.

    It’s a Nazi salute, end of.

  29. failing to call this a nazi salute is exactly how MAGA gaslights people. 

    By not saying what is literally happening leaves the door open for people to interpret what is happening, however obvious it may be and when all of MAGA is told what to think, they will not see this as a nazi salute because they wont admit to it.

    Take the gloves off people. we are living in an age of calculated gaslighting, revisionism, and misinformation. 

    The fact that our nations politicians see this, and denounce it or not, do nothing about it but complain, just emphasizes the point that its really not a big deal. 

    My whole life the most clear cut enemies of the US government were nazis and communist russia, but we are about to enter a timeline where generations of children will be indoctrinated into think that these are actually our allies to the point where older generations would question if nazis and dictator putin really is bad and if the US really only ever intended a president to have 2 terms…

    I am really curious what the tipping point will be but its clear we havent reached it yet since these people are not just in power, but gaining more power and wealth day by day while their base cheers on about the destruction of their country they so supposedly love.
