Musk is a troll.
Don't feed the troll.
Every bit of energy and attention expended on the sieg heil is a bit of energy and attention that's NOT being expended on any of the actions being taken and policies being enacted by Trump and the oligarchs right this moment for the direct and explicit purpose of destroying liberty and democracy in the US.
The sieg heil is performative. It's a symbol. In and of itself, it causes no direct harm.
However, a terrifying number of the actions that Trump is actually taking - directives he's issuing and policies he's implementing -are causing and will cause direct and measurable harm.
They need to be the focus, and the sieg heil is a distraction from them.
And that's not an accident. Musk is a troll.
Musk is running the U.S. government. Dismissing someone that dangerous as just a troll is a mistake.
He definitely shouldn't be dismissed and people are right to be absolutely pissed at the open nazism, but also the sieg heil is an extremely obvious distraction.
And the collective idiots here are happy to be distracted. I've seen at least 15 - 20 posts on All today about this. Ridiculous.
And yet here you are commenting on it. So what does that make you along with everyone else happy to distract themselves with it?
(In case you're having trouble collecting those dots: an idiot as well.)
lol what? C'mon man. I know misery loves company, but this was a legitimately lame response. Give it another go. You can do better. Maybe crack wise about my mama?
Somehow you responded with an even lamer comment.
Ouch. My pride.
Alright man. This was fun. Stay safe out there.
