Man, that one was so much worse than I remembered. I thought it was just part of a wider gesture, but that heil and the wave that came afterward are clearly two different emotes

Close, but trump does have his hand vertical enough to be a legitimate wave.

They're just saying it doesn't count as two because Trump's doesn't really count. The one on the bottom left is absolutely a Nazi salute.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago

Ah my bad, missed the comment asking if that counted as two.

Ya know......as much as I hated Bush in his day, he was never a nazi. I called him a LOT of things over the years.....but I never remember calling him a nazi.

How the fuck are we living in a timeline where a president who used a terrorist attack as justification for invading countries that never had anything to do with it, is now looked at as "he wasn't so bad...."

[–] [email protected] 119 points 12 hours ago (3 children)

Bush is a war criminal, lied to the American people, and contributed to the pathway that created trumpism.

He's not a Nazi. But he's not a good guy either.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

His grandpa was though.

And his dad HW ran the CIA for a while.

Pardoned a good number of Iran Contra CIA people when he was President.

... And seems to have been working for or with the CIA for many years before he became director.

https://www.salon.com/2019/01/25/the-real-reason-the-cia-loved-george-h-w-bush_partner/

Zapata Oil was run by HW Bush... and very much seems to have been a CIA front company, assisting with many 'kinetic' operations in Cuba and Latin America.

... And if you really want to go down the rabbit hole, a whole bunch of people connected to Watergate, the Bay of Pigs... and JFK's assasination... are also linked to Zapata Oil...

... and HW himself was noted by J Edgar Hoover as working for the CIA, in 1963, way before HW ever admitted he worked for/with the CIA, in an official FBI memo investigating the assasination.

Yeah, the preceding years laundering his reputation and presidency has been maddening. His war crimes, foreign policy on essentially everything, domestic policy on education, carceral systems, tax reform, and the border should have him in solitary at The Hague for the rest of his life. The man is truly a monster, and walks among the nazis today. He's still a republican, so whether or not he's a nazi is perhaps an academic debate only.

[–] ininewcrow 19 points 12 hours ago

He paved the path for a Nazi

[–] [email protected] 27 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (1 children)

He was a fascist. He was always a fascist and his "War on Terror" laid the ground work for our current situation.

His presidency is when I first saw the Signs of Fascism.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 9 hours ago

Yup, it’s when patriots and flags on cars took a nasty turn. Let’s not forget about Dock Cheney either. O matter what his daughter has tried to do to change that name, Bush and Dick belong in the Hauge.

Trump belongs in an orange jumpsuit and Musk belongs in South Africa, locked in a compound hiding from the world.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 hours ago

So you just aren't aware of the "PATRIOT [sic] Act" at all, huh?

Bush signing that into law was the moment I knew Bin Laden had won.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 11 hours ago

Bush lied about WMDs to kill millions of people and steal their oil. He is not Hitler but he is not far. It will take more than a sieg to surpass Bush.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 12 hours ago (3 children)

Let’s be real, the best part of Bush Junior was Sam Rockwell playing him in Vice.

This was a nazi salute, or at least a reference to it, you can obviously see it. However, and this is where it becomes slightly problematic...

Is it enough of a nazi salute to not work in their favor? We can easily compare Elons salute with a nazi one, just show it side by side with an actual one. But this one is obviously (you can see it on his face) meant to reference it, but it is not as explicit. The problem is that when it is called out, it is just another case of "the woke left screaming that everyone that disagrees with them is a nazi".

I have no idea how we should handle shit like this.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 hours ago

It was enough of a Nazi salute for the head of France's far-right party, who are Nazis, to cancel his planned speech.

I was hesitant at first, but like. What the hell else is he doing? He isn't gesturing to emphasize something he's saying, he isn't waving at anyone, he isn't addressing the crowd. Literally the only thing it can reasonably be is a heil.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I'm usually not a fan of zero tolerance policies, but I make an exception for Nazi shit.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

You are probably right, I am just not sure how to react to stuff like this anymore

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 hours ago

And thats the idea. Burn you out so you just lie there until they have finished. Like a good little victim.

Baring the opportunity to just stab the assailant: The solution of course is to make a repeatable pattern of defiance which costs you nothing of your mental capacity but makes a difference if done at scale.

  • Post about it "this is what you voted for"
  • make a list of nazi controlled companies you will never buy from again unless its life or death and share the list
  • reframe your wording and thinking: the us is a failed state, a fascist state, ruled by nazis, educate yourself on what actually happened in the third reich and educate others, start hanging the us flag upside down, use suggestive avatars on social media (careful with your surroundings).

This all in itself wont change anything but at scale it will shift the public eye and make things better, bit by bit.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 hours ago

The difference is Bannon knows what he's doing, while Ellonie is a moron.

Bannon did it just half-heartedly enough to throw doubt into it when asked. Elon tried his best.

The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (2 children)

My dearly departed gramps would agree. Man was on the ground walking across France and Germany on a mission to free concentration camps. He wouldn’t describe it in any further detail than that, ever, but he would shut down any murmur of racism. Silence a room shut down.

We lack that now which is why hx is coming back around again.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

I think it’s interesting* that as soon as everyone with a firsthand account of Nazis dies, Nazism comes roaring back. It’s as though there’s no generational memory in society.

*not to imply it’s good, it’s horrifying.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

It’s so sad that we are going to get this costly lesson again. It would be better if the guillotines came out, rather than panzer tanks.

My heart goes out to the American people

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

That shit isn’t contained in the US unfortunately. As much as the right say that they are against globalism and globalists like Soros they have been manipulated by the biggest globalist. The entire international swing towards fascism in the West has been orchestrated by Putin. He is the New World Order. We will be seeing more Nazis take power across the world.

Bannon is white fucking trash anyway. Not just saying that because he looks like human excrement but because he has the personality of a roasted maggot.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 12 hours ago

His physical appearance suggests alcohol.

There's only one kind of good nazi. We should strive to make them all like that.

Why exactly are we repeating history

This is what happens when you systematically destroy the education system.

Bannon looks like old dried white dog shit, I hope mortality catches up with him soon

[–] [email protected] 21 points 13 hours ago

At least 3rd

I hear if we can get a third before the end of the month, those egg prices will start tumbling!

Do we have a video of this?

The Overton Window keeps shifting.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 13 hours ago

Flabby white guys barely able to raise their arms.

Bannon’s not used to lifting his hand past his juandice tinged liver lips.

Elon so fucking out of shape he actually gasped for air and grunted.
