Disclaimer: I know the flag looks like shit. I didn’t really try and make a well done, symmetric n**i flag. The entire point is to illustrate the general intent, not to make a symmetric “asshole flag”.
Edit: the sample size isn’t that big yet, but around 20% (19.51% as of this edit) of downvotes is definitely uncannily aligned with the average percentage of far right voters… (I’d show data from the US too, but you guys haven’t yet learned how to count to three in politics… So data is severely lacking.)
I don’t think your outrage is founded. I this case, musk has a clear personal tilt towards eugenics/natalism, his formative years were in apartheid South Africa, his businesses are in court for creating racially hostile/segregated workspaces and many twitter accounts outright stating Nazi sympathy and promotion were unbanned and boosted when he took over and decided that was a needed change.
You speak with many !!! but I don’t think you’ve actually thought out your position. This is more of a gut response you had chambered to any nazi accusations - this one isn’t a home run “smoking gun”, but the accusation definitely has some merit.
It’s outrageous that we’ve gotten to the point where the only thing we can do is shout at each other. There are no civil discussions anymore. I walk into a thread like this, speak my peace, get insulted and do some insulting. Ultimately it’s not productive for anyone, because nobody is convincing each other of anything, they’re just yelling labels and names at each other.
When everybody is super, nobody is.
When everybody is a nazi, nobody is.
When everybody is a communist, nobody is.
Shouting these terms has basically lost all meaning.
You can’t “oh I guess everyone is a Nazi then!” when we’re discussing actual nazis.
It just makes you look like a silly little bean.
