        Just plain gross.

        I knew a number of camp survivors, and I’m just glad they aren’t still around to see the voices that were so loudly calling to “never forget” having turned into “I’ll ignore your Nazi salute if you ignore my war crimes.”

        This is exactly how modern fascists operate. The majority of people will brush it off with “It’s just a joke” or “It was an accident”, but the extremists in the crowd know that it wasn’t, and they feel right at home. There was a video on youtube called something like “the pewdiepipeline” that explained this perfectly.

          When I saw the headline I expected an awkward wave or something, caught in camera at the exact wrong moment, being pushed because it made a good headline. I didn’t think there was any way musk would be so blatant. Then I watched the video and no, that’s a legitimate seig heil right there, the press reported exactly what happened.

      Jesus Christ. Mask off… Maybe if we had a halfway decent education system, people would see this for the bullshit it is
