20-01-2025. This is a real image
Real funny how r/elonmusk official stance is that it was not a nazi salute. And yet the entire place is on complete lockdown. its as if someone just threw 3 sig heils while the cheers got louder only during the gesture.
Thanks to @[email protected]
N.B. : from a removed post ( in which that comment was ) since the post was based on a photograph and that it was posted in /c/WorldNews ... which does not allow post if it is not linked to a news article ...
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...
And it's day fucking 1! We still have (at least) four more YEARS of this!
I'm reminded of Trump's first term, when we all thought it couldn't possibly get any worse, and yet it always did keep getting worse.
I'm not American, so I'm just now catching up with what happened over there yesterday. The first time I saw this image (elsewhere), I was praying that this was AI-generated. And I hate seeing AI-generated stuff and I'm not religious either. I still wish it was AI but now I know it's not and... jesus christ.
So this is how I'm gonna get radicalized huh
The truth is all his supporters know exactly what it was and support him 100%
I expect the American pro-Israel politicians who threw hissy fits for «free Palestine» slogans to take appropriate stances for a literal fucking nazi salute on Inauguration day.
Of course also the Israeli government, the German government, etc.
Come on, you fucking assholes. Dare you fucking speak up?
On another note though, 9 hours, 1k upvotes, 300 comments. It's a shame more people don't migrate away from Reddit, which is just as bad as all these other social media platforms currently courting the U.S. administration.
How do we encourage more people to join a Lemmy?
Fuck Trump, Elon, the other oligarchs, and all of the short-sighted moronic voters and non-voters who put them back in power.
This may not be what America wants, but this is what Americans deserve for being so fucking stupid.
Look at Zuckerberg's stupid face
