It was Fascism not Autism - Say it correctly [View all]

Some of the best responses I've seen regarding the nazi salute

It was Fascism not Autism - Say it correctly

The problem with nazi salutes in liberal societies is that the optics and positioning of a salute will be dissected for a week on the media instead of what
should be done with a nazi.

Nazis: "that's a nazi salute"
Historians: "that's a nazi salute"
Average person: "that's a nazi salute"
The Media: "Elon Musk makes odd gesture throwing his heart to the
crowd."

If what Elon did wasn't a Nazi salute
then do it tomorrow at work.

The rules, if you are keeping track: If a single left activist anywhere in the world says "defund the police," it becomes the official position of the Democratic Party, now and forever. If the president's top surrogate repeatedly sieg-heils on stage,
it's ambiguous, impossible to interpret.

Pay very close attention to the individuals
constantly making excuses for the Nazis.
