It's that same fucking map again
TL:DR the countries who voted against did so to prevent Russia from using this vote as a justification for their invasion of Ukraine. Indeed they used the pretense of "removing Nazis" for their invasion.
These countries do not condone fascism (or at least officially. I'm looking at you, USA)
Defending nazism to own the russkies, what a great policy.
Indeed they used the pretense of “removing Nazis”
Absolutely huge brained move to vote for the glorification of nazism in response.
I've never been good at reading stuff like this, so it's more than plausible I'm just missing it, but I can't find where the resolution would give anyone the legal power or moral authority to invade another state.
Completely removing any credibility from the narrative that you like Nazis by checks notes voting against condemning Nazis.
Is that also the US's justification for voting against this resolution every time it comes up, before or since?
Garbage article, hiding behind the ADL, afraid to call him a nazi as well. Cowards who don't call out nazi-ism are playing defense for the nazi's. To the wall with the lots of them, good on Sam for not bowing to fascist authority.
It's like when a todler is hiding behind a thin pole and everyone can still see them. The ADL can't hide anything behind the phrase "awkward gesture." Someone needs only ask, "What makes it awkward?"
Right so calling the guy who endorses and promotes Nazis on his website, who reuses Nazi rhetoric and who uses Nazis symbols on camera is reckless?
if i hear one more lib tell me that in USA you can freely say anything without repercussions as an argument...
So Netanyahu, leader of a bunch of Nazis, just said he's a friend to them, case closed.
The Anti-Defamation League, a US-based pro-Israeli group which monitors anti-Semitism and hate speech, has described Musk’s gesture as “awkward” but did not say it was a Nazi salute.
That's a bit of bullshit. The ADL said specifically that it was NOT a Nazi salute. Which is the end of the ADL, for me. They're simply not credible as alleged opponents of anti-Semitism.
You know there is a specific type of person who holds 95% percent Nazi views, but is pointing fingers in all directions when an actual Nazi is called out as a Nazi. It is the same type of person that says he hates rapists most of all things, but never admits there is enough proof of sexual misconduct about any actual rapist. That person is the next door m'fer that enables fascism and patriarchy throughout history, and he is complicit to both.
If it quacks like a duck, if it walks like a duck, maybe, just maybe its a duck. They will still give some political grace saying its jot PC to call him a nazi even if he starts calling tump "mein fuher", starts preaching mein kampf, and starts building oddly large ovens.

The leader of the free world everybody.
Is there even a leader of a free world any more? When the US went fascist it was Germany, but they've been having issues too lately.
The whole free world was a bullshit narrative to begin with.
Leader of a divied up and purchased world doesn't have the same ring to it. It has a ring of truth instead
The leader of divided and failing colonizer nations seems more accurate.
Very true.
Musk tried to defend his flagrant Nazi pageantry by pointing himself out as a Zionist. Wasn't literally Hitler a supporter of the creation of Israel (a Jewish state)?
Over this past year of Israel's full-throated genocide in Palestine, I've been surprised to not see it pointed out that (to my understanding) Zionism was a platform of the Nazi party.
Am I wrong? Was Zionism not so explicitly supported by the Nazi party?
wasn't there a quote about control and knowing who you can't criticize?
Yeah but it was more so talking about how when Democrats are in power it's okay to criticize both Democrat and republicans, however once Republicans are in power you're not allowed to criticize Republicans because the power stigma shifts.
something that I've started noticing as of late as well. If you try to criticize the Republican Party you'll be met with resistance, arguments and full shutdown leadin to personal attacks, where if you criticize the Democratic Party, they will still disagree with what you say but they'll at least listen to you.

Antidefamation league? More like antisemitism defence league.
this is where u support them and prop them up to motivate people to do the same
OMG the comments section on that article is something...
smells like a duck quacks like a duck, shits on the floor. must be a duck..
I've never trusted Russia Today to be a fact based news source and more importantly it's been a long time since I've trusted CBS to report on anything that isn't 100% motivated by their own self-interested drive for profit.
TLDR:
Neither news source involved are known to me to be particularly trustworthy.
Oh no the reporters are ze untermench
Hans get ze calipers
