Nazi platform.

Make sure to stop clicking on Nazi links when people post them. No matter how bad you want to see someone “prank” someone or cry about their perceived persecution.

We need to stop making a Nazi platform important enough that it hurts democratic politicians when they lose access because of the Nazi in charge of said platform.

I hear often Nazi this Nazi that? I think it has lost meaning. Can you explain what Nazi is? Vs Nazi from like WW2?

If you perform a Nazi salute, you’re a Nazi.

Musk performed TWO Nazi salutes on national television during a presidential inauguration.

Musk owns X.

Anymore questions? Do I need to illustrate with crayons?

Some would say a Roman salute 🫡 So anything else substantial? That can’t be interpreted as something else?
But anything else? that’s what I’m asking
not my job and this is not the place to waste time providing a textbook-level of evidence of what you could have researched yourself if you were willing to be persuaded.

If you can’t answer him that’s all you have to say.

Don’t do this rigamarole of “do your own research to justify why other people use their words.”

Then why did you reply to me?

I know what a Nazi is However people often misuse it with people they disagree with. Elon already had a lot of hate before that.

Can a Jew a Nazi? Are Kanye a Nazi?

People with their beehive mentality, just echoes being what other people says. Can’t have simple discussions without people trying crucify you for asking questions.

Here’s a question: why don’t you take their advice seriously instead of being so sensitive to their manners?

There’s plenty:

But this is the most I am willing to engage at the moment with an obvious troll

Musk Retweets ‘Hitler Didn’t Murder Millions’ Message Amid Ongoing Nazi Controversy

Musk and Tesla have faced heightened criticism since the billionaire made a gesture likened to a Nazi salute during an inaugural event in January.

Forbes

Italian here, Roman actually.

The Roman salute has not origin in ancient history.

It was formalized by Gabriele D’Annunzio, a sick fascist poet and writer, as a salute for his proto-fascist troops with which he occupied Fiume in modern-day Croatia, having been inspired this painting.

So yea, the roman salute is a fascist salute, invented by a fascist, for a fascist occurrence and to call it roman is a disservice to Rome and history in general.

Oath of the Horatii - Wikipedia

Tim Waltz, one of the people vigorously calling Musk a Nazi for doing that action, is on video doing the exact same “salute”:

You’ll agree Tim Waltz is a Nazi, I assume?

Like Elon Musk, Tim Waltz makes a hand gesture that some say looks like a Nazi salute.

GTFO of here with this pretend dumbass routine
Why are you sensitive?
You are the one being all sensitive and whiney about people calling out Musk. You need to grow up and learn people aren’t beholden to your disingenous bullshit.
simple asked what the difference was and if there was anything substantial. Jews and other still use x or Tesla , people are being aggressive if you talk about it.

As a serious answer, Musk is into modern variants of eugenics and some scary techno-authoritarian stuff he shares with Peter Theil and other Silicon Valley royalty.

Maybe he’s a techno-neonazi? That’s just semantics.

His alleged Nazi salute is indeed kind of a red herring. But “Nazi” is an reasonable enough descriptor for his beliefs.

I can appreciate this is reply, thanks 👍

Note how Jin, the Nazi Defender (not a Nazi themselves, they just defend people who are justifiably called Nazis) won’t respond to your answer.

One feature from Reddit I liked was the ability to tag people. Or maybe that was the reddit enhancement suite. But Jin would’ve earned himself a big red “Nazi Defender” tag.

Nah its much simpler label than that.

“Troll”

The topic doesn’t matter, it more about fishing for provocation. In this case I couldn’t help myself, but… you know, don’t feed the trolls.

you can also tag people on Lemmy, or at least I can. look for the menu button on a user name/profile and “Add Tag”
What instance you on? That’d be handy!
Hmm… I definitely don’t see an About user menu or Add Tag or Tag User on their profile. Maybe it has something to do with your lemmy browser.
That must be specific to whatever app you are using. It isn’t in the default ones.

His alleged Nazi salute is indeed kind of a red herring.

Tim Waltz did the exact same salute btw. The same Tim Waltz that says that Trump 100% did a nazi salute.

Like Elon Musk, Tim Waltz makes a hand gesture that some say looks like a Nazi salute.

One of these things is not like the other

Tim Waltz does not have eugenics-adjacent beliefs.

Also, I think you may have missed what “red herring” means.

I didn’t misinterpret that, I was simply pointing out that it wasn’t a nazi salute unless you also think Tim Waltz is a nazi.
Yes notice the crisp snappy way waltz did it? With fingers together, and twice so there is no way to doubt what it was? Ohhh wait sorry that was elons.
hahahaha the mental gymnastics is gold medal worthy.
Yes, the way you say two, very very different things are the same is certainly gold medal worthy mental gymnastics. Well said.
Yes, you are indeed a real spectacle.

Yeah, elon’s not a nazi…

He just wanted to send out a message of hope and support to nazis round the world by siegheiling twice on stage behind the seal of the United States.

All the nazis saw it as a nazi salute too! They were chuffed! Let’s not ignore his love and support for the afd, and antisemites on Twitter!
And you are bringing up a red herring (salutes) that doesn’t matter, because, well, I don’t know. But that’s the whole point of the saying.

Here’s the full, non cropped video. It’s around the 1:15 mark.

It’s not around the 1:15 mark, it’s around the 2min mark. Same “salute” as Musk.
It really isn’t. It’s not even close. You said I had gold medal mental gymnastics, but you’ve just done another gold medal performance.
His gesture is as much of a “Nazi salute” as Elon Musks.

No, they are nothing alike, at all.

You: "either everything is “A” or everything is “B”, there is no alternatives.

See how silly that is?

By “everything” you mean “these 2 specific examples”, don’t you?
No, that is not how words works. But it is unsurprising that a fascist like you wouldn’t know that, considering you don’t really care about words.
🤣 I like how you guys think people care when you call them fascists, Nazis, etc.
It is funny how the video clearly disproves your lying claim.

The word ‘nazi’ has 100% lost its meaning.

Might as well just be saying “I don’t like this person or group of people because they disagree with me.”

Nazis are opposed to the basic human rights of anyone who isn’t a white hetero, usually a man.

Nazi sympathisers deserve a bullet in the head. That includes you.

I guess we can start adding ‘nazi sympathizer’ to the list of terms that have lost their meaning.

Remember, you only have people like yourself to blame.

Dude, Musk literally thinks he has superior genes. The fuck are you high on?
Some people wouldn’t know a Nazi if he was sending people to camps without trial, trying to outlaw the political opposition, fomenting a cult of personality, launching coups, oppressing the most vulnerable people, ratcheting up racist attacks, and threatening to attack Denmark.
Would Xi jinping be a Nazi?
He’s certainly a fascist autocrat
I believe he likes to be called Winnie

I think it has lost meaning.

It has. Completely. Basically what it means today is “people who disagree with me” and should be regarded as such. Unfortunately the actual nazis will fly under the radar now.
