I think Eckhard was just pursuing some pet theory or something.

A nazi salute stands for something nasty, something that despite a shattering defeat some think is good.

Mohammad, Allah etc—a religion and people not gone through the Enlightenment, basic, extreme and shot through with hatred of anyone believing or being even a little bit different. That describes ruzzia too.

What all the hand-flappers here have missed in their hysteria over whether or not Elon Musk used the Roman salute intentionally as the Naxi salute, which he didn't... is why he was compelled to express that much heartfelt emotion over victory in the first place.

It's not like he'd won the presidency...

Or did he?

Does anyone else defend him?
Yes, actually. The Anti-Defamation League, which has been critical of Musk in the past, disagreed in a statement posted to social media. They wrote that Musk had “made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm” and that it was “not a Nazi salute.” The organisation added that “all sides should give one another a bit of grace.”

“This is a delicate moment. It’s a new day and yet so many are on edge. Our politics are inflamed, and social media only adds to the anxiety.”

Aaron Astor, a history professor at Maryville College in Tennessee, supported the ADL’s position and said on X that it was not a Nazi salute.

“I have criticised Elon Musk many times for letting neo-Nazis pollute this platform,” he wrote on X. “But this gesture is not a Nazi salute.”

“This is a socially awkward autistic man’s wave to the crowd where he says ‘my heart goes out to you,‘” he added.

From reports—Musk gave the nazi/Italian salute more than once. Time for that was on election night or inauguration night.

Very troubling.

Nazi salute

Insurrectionists freed, becoming, possibly, Trumpy’s brownshirts.

It is no secret I was born in Holland also known more officially as The Netherlands. I have also stated I have a Jewish ancestor, Dad’s grandfather or something.

Holland, a tiny country, was invaded by the nazis, the port of Rotterdam flattened by the luftwaffe.

The winter of 1944/45 was terrible. The name Hunger Winter says it all, nazis shipping everything not nailed down to Germany. Mum was literally starving to death, thin as a reed when Dad came back from forced labor in Germany. She ate tulip bulbs (“burn in the throat”) and cats.

So, no, I do NOT think a nazi salute is a triviality in a person of immense wealth and power like Musk. A nazi salute is not something to be joked about.

FFS!



Exactly.

That is why it's ludicrous to think that Musk, while saying "My heart goes out to you'' , tapping his hear and throwing up his arm/s was a "Nazi salute".

It is totally ridiculous, malicious stupidity, totally ignorant of history - of Nazi history, of America's and of Musk's personal history - as well as of the occasion and the crowd.

It's one of those gotcha hoaxes that online journalist - barely out of high school, totally ignorant and stupid - generate as clickbait. Their knowledge of anything is from Hollywood movies and TV.

It's TDS celebrity gossip. And the TDS kids lap it up. It is the TDS outrage du jour - and another will come along shortly.

This is where your cultural parochialism overreaches.

While our common European values includes disgust with all things Nazi, including the arrogated Roman salute, most of the world does not feel it.

For the Chinese, Indians, Southeast Asians, Africans and many South Americans, the Roman salute does not evoke any visceral emotion as is the case with the swastika...

Their leaders, most of them strongmen themselves, likely wouldn't use them to define their rule, but they would neither care nor be emotionally triggered, other than bemused if someone else did.

This triggering is something those practising traditional Buddhism have to endure from hand-flappers over their traditional use of the swastika.

A German comedian.

12 years old. Click bait. But to Sad Saggy, an authority.

And his plummeting in popularity begins….
We can squabble all we like in here… real movement is happening and it may just be a beginning…
I will keep you all informed…
Oh and Shiba and Doge are plummeting! I should know…I got suckered into buying last year with all the talking up of these coins. I’m at a loss with them and will ditch them before losing more.
(Thank goodness for the better coins keeping me afloat)

Yep, a blatant ripoff writ large by the tech bros...

Not that they care about the fallout.

They'd be investing any gains into AI research, the dividends of which will be measured in the trillions and guarantee US hegemony for another 100 years.

12 Horrifying Nazi Symbols From Trump's Inauguration



1.  Trump literally did a Nazi salute while he was being sworn in: How was this even allowed?
...


2.  Barron Trump is clear proof that Trump has engaged in eugenics to create the ultimate human being: He's breeding actual giants.

3.  If you took the American flag and made it all red with a white circle and added a swastika, it would look EXACTLY like the Nazi flag: Come on, this one was obvious.

4.  There are 16 stars in this photo. 16 is 8+8. The 8th letter in the alphabet is "H." 88 means "HH," which is short for "Heil Hitler": They're not even trying to hide it.

...


5.  Do you know another lady who wore a hat? Eva Braun: There are no coincidences.

6.  The singer brought in to perform was obviously chosen due to being a member of the blonde-haired master race: "Sweet and innocent?" Hardly.

7.  Trump spoke to an adoring crowd. Who else did that regularly?: That's right — the guy with the little mustache.

8.  Trump chose to be inaugurated in the Capitol, which has 365 steps, the same number of days as there are in a year. Nazi Germany was well-known for using years as a unit of time: The similarities are troubling.

9.  Did you notice that there were no Polish people in the crowd?: They were all rounded up and sent to a separate camp to watch the ceremony.

10. German Panzer tank — 8'10" tall. Barron Trump — 8'10" tall: This symbolism is not an accident.

11. Security for the inauguration was provided by the Secret Service. How is "Secret Service" abbreviated? SS: Trump planned all of this.

12. Melania's dress at the ball was clearly an unraveled swastika: Even a blind man could put the puzzle together.

...


The Nazi signs are literally everywhere - there is no denying it any longer.
