So, next time Leon Hitler visits Israel, he can walk around giving the Nazi salute to the fascist Ben and the Likud Party?

Pos nazi makes jokes a nazi would? Shocked Pikachu face.

L-MAO 🤣😂

[–] Th4tGuyII@fedia.io 251 points 1 week ago (6 children)

Genuinely fuck Musk. Cries he's being called a Nazi while doing everything in his power to act like one.

Nobody does a Nazi salute by accident Elon... And especially not with a face looking like he just bust a nut while doing it.

You’re not wrong, but this article is more about Netanyahu’s flexibility around ‘antisemitism.’

You know, how it’s now considered antisemitic to criticize Israel’s war crimes, but it’s totally not antisemitic to do a Nazi salute and joke about the holocaust as long as you support Israel’s war crimes?

[–] futatorius@lemm.ee 15 points 1 week ago

Netanyahu is a bloodthirsty ultra-nationalist, but his even deeper self is just another shitty corrupt narcissist like Trump. He thinks he's got everyone conned, and he's grabbing everything he can while using the war as his claim to power. As soon as the crisis stops, people will start looking at how much he's on the take again. So he's always got to stir the shit and keep the populace in a state of panic.

[–] Tarquinn2049@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah, there is a pretty big difference between "they think we shouldn't defend ourselves" and "they think we shouldn't commit war crimes and genocide while defending ourselves". They initially had a ton of support for defending themselves after october 7th... but they turned the tides against themselves by almost immediately going way too far. It has absolutely nothing to do with who either side is ethnically or religiously or whatever, it is entirely the war crimes and genocide we want to stop.

[–] futatorius@lemm.ee 12 points 1 week ago

They're not even defending themselves. They're killing women, children and old people. They're destroying water purification plants and hospitals. Genocide is not an act of self-defence, it's a crime against humanity.

he wants to act like a Nazi, spread Nazi ideas, help implement Nazi policies, and have Nazi friends, but not being called a Nazi

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

a face looking like he just bust a nut

He was making the Mussolini face.

Nazis siding with Israel against Jews is no great surprise at this point.

[–] ALoafOfBread@lemmy.ml 62 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

The KKK supported black separatists in the US in their goal of creating an independent state in Africa. It's almost like you can hate a group of people AND support their right to live on the other side of the world from you.

I think benji sees the utility there, and is also a fascist

Authoritarian regimes stick together...at first.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 103 points 1 week ago (3 children)

He's pretty clearly intentionally taunting everyone who opposes him, just demonstrating what he can get away with. That's what all of this has been about. He might not be anti-Semitic (please don't at me -- he likely is -- I said might) and rather is just a pure troll dickhead.

[–] Souroak@lemmy.sdf.org 57 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Just like with some of the 4chan idiots though, there is little functional difference between being a true believer nazi and merely pretending to be one.

[–] LengAwaits@lemmy.world 33 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Exactly.

Yeah I'm not saying it would make him better. Only saying his main intent seems to be to rile people up.

[–] AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 1 points 6 days ago

I agree, but also we can never know what's in a person's heart. It seems more useful to consider his actions; if it walks like a duck, and it quacks like a duck...

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 40 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Tbh, he's a massive douchebag on a power trip. It wouldn't shock me at all if he wasn't anti-Semitic and is just trying to push people's buttons. At the same time, if this is true, he's also shifting the Overton window and showing what true Nazis can safely get away with in the public eye.

That said, there's a good chance he's also just an anti-Semitic neo-Nazi piece of shit...and still doing the latter part of that.

Regardless, he's a fascist either way, so fuck him.

[–] raspberriesareyummy@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago

he’s also shifting the Overton window and showing what true Nazis can safely get away with in the public eye.

This is the major fucking problem. The fat orange diaper sponge already fucked up the "what's acceptable in public" perception 8 years ago - and now we have the Apartheid-dipshit one-upping his rimjob buddy.

These headlines are getting way out of hand.

If this goes on the ADL will be denying the holocaust be the end of the week.

[–] FatCrab@lemmy.one 3 points 6 days ago

The ADL has never not been a horrifically shitty organization and has probably done more damage to Jewish culture than any other group in the last 50 years. They're effectively a bunch of quisling fucks.

Translating a comment by a Norwegian author:

as someone who once put in a lot of effort to excuse the far right etc when they maybe cross the line a little bit but probably don't really mean it so let's all calm down a bit, I've learned one thing:

the only reward you get for doing this is that they the next day bombastically step over that same line to show that they don't feel bound by your wimpy sense of decency

because the fight is against what they perceive as a wimpy, castrated centrist decency is one of the central driving forces in such groups

More people who have tried to explain away the nazi salute could probably stand to learn the same lesson ASAP. The only thing they're really communicating is that the rich & powerful can do what they want and the excusers will stay their loyal lapdogs.

Being a great friend of netanyahu is yet more evidence that you are a fascist

[–] doortodeath@lemmy.world 28 points 1 week ago

Basically Homelander-Syndrome?

[–] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 24 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I saw someone on Lemmy post that exact comment yesterday. Either the lemming copied it from elsewhere, or musk is in the building.

Elon if you see this: you are a bad person and a bad father.

[–] ef9357@lemmy.sdf.org 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Elon, if you see this, you’re the poster child for why abortion should be protected.

I think the best thing to do is just completely ignore everything the guy says. Don't feed the trolls.

Can we please stop paying attention to this jerk?

I know reposting his Tweets makes news sites money, and gets upvotes, and whatever, but for heavens sake, don't feed the trolls.

Musk is what over feeding a troll ultimately looks like.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 83 points 1 week ago (3 children)

He has the president's ear and is already contributing to wrecking the country with fascist tactics while being open about being a nazi.

We can't just ignore him anymore.

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 32 points 1 week ago

Not to mention that he has enough purchasing power and assets to destroy entire countries without getting involved in politics

No. This nazi needs to be publicly scrutinized now, more than ever.

[–] syklemil@discuss.tchncs.de 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If reporting critically on what the government and its members are up to is now "feeding the trolls", then the phrase has lost all meaning.

It's one thing to not engage with online bullies and leave them bored. It's another thing entirely to start anew with first they came for the illegal immigrants, and I didn't say anything, for I wasn't an illegal immigrant.

[–] futatorius@lemm.ee 4 points 1 week ago

Learn the lesson of history: this time around, first come for the Nazis.

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

Absolutely not. If you think he's evil now, just wait until we stop paying attention to what he's doing.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

That ship has sailed.
