So why did you delete your comment? Idk if it’s bugged out or if this is just how Lemmy works but I can still see what you said.
I just did it at work and what do you know my boss isn’t a fucking nut job like you lot. He laughed and said “Yeah Elon really is an awkward guy”.
For the record I live in a deep blue state and work in a very left leaning place. Nobody in this office likes Elon. There’s not a single Tesla in the parking lot and I live somewhere that has more Tesla’s than most places.
You guys are not ok in the head. It absolutely was not a Nazi salute. He said as much in that very speech and he has repeatedly confirmed it afterwards.
The ADL who are currently tracking the proud boys that Trump just set free also stated that what Elon did was not a Nazi salute. You guys are just so fantastically mind poisoned that you ACTUALLY believe that the richest man in America just went on live television and did the Nazi salute during a presidential inauguration and people cheered for it.
Everyone that believes that was actually a Nazi salute needs to get off the internet and go outside to touch some fucking grass. It is insane seeing the internet collectively lose their minds over that when there are PLETNY of other things Trump did right away that are far more concerning.
Yikes. Factual accuracy is important, but hey. At least you’re admitting you don’t care about facts and you just want to be angry. Better than most people can admit.
“The ADL unjustly attacks the majority of the West, despite the majority of the West supporting the Jewish people and Israel. This is because they cannot, by their own tenets, criticize the minority groups who are their primary threat,”
Wouldn’t this make my point even more? The ADL is saying that it’s not a Nazi salute even after Elon went after them like that a few years ago.
Like there are so many valid reasons to shit all over Elon, but y’all are latched into this one like it owes you fuckin money. You can keep screaming that he and anyone that defends that speech are all Nazis but it will never make it true.
Y’all were all about the ADL for the last 10+ years and now that they said something you don’t agree with you’re trying to say they aren’t an entity to listen to. Which one is it? Is the ADL correct about all the things they went after the right for over the last decade plus or have they always been a sham?
The political left and right have had their issues with the ADL in the past, so I’m not really sure what it is you’re trying to say here.
Should we go with the ADL when they say Elon didn’t Nazi salute, or should we not listen to them because Elon doesn’t think they criticize who they should?
The “which is it” question is yours alone to make as you were the first one that brought them up.
The “y’all” is me broadly addressing the Dems and anyone that would identify as left. I haven’t seen anyone bashing the ADL from the left until this Elon situation. I mostly heard of people on the right saying the ADL sucks and is full of communists or whatever they feel like calling people they don’t like that day.
This Elon thing happened and (to me) it looks like the teams did a lil swap. Suddenly the right loves the ADL for coming to defend their golden child and the left is saying the ADL have sucked for a long time.
Now it’s probable I missed some grievances the left may have had for ADL in the past as I generally ignore things like the ADL. But that’s not a slight against the ADL. I just don’t listen to any 3 letter agencies. It goes against my religion.
It’s ok to be ignorant to goings on in the world. But you just admitted to reacting emotionally by assuming the standpoint of the political left, so your opinion is no longer valid.
I’m not assuming the standpoint of the political left… That is the standpoint of the political left. Literally every single website and subreddit is the political left having a collective meltdown over the same exact thing. I haven’t gone on my Facebook or anything because I don’t really use those sights but I am willing to bet all of my friends and family (the political left we speak of) are having varying degrees of aforementioned meltdown.
I’m ignorant to most things going on in the world as most people are. We only have so much capacity for global situations let alone what’s going on in our own front yard. Do you claim to be aware of every single little thing going on in America let alone the world? I admitted that I have never paid much attention to the ADL and I cracked a joke as to why.
And where did I react emotionally exactly? I have emotions as I am only a human, but I don’t see this emotional reaction you speak of.
Also let’s not pretend like you were ever even listening to my opinion or considering it’s validity. You stalked my page and commented on a few comments I left and then you left a few factually incorrect memes scattered around. You made up your mind about me and all my political stances the moment you assumed I was a Nazi.

I deleted the comment because Lemmy didn’t upload it correctly, calm down.
Making a factually incorrect meme using the political compass is funny, but it’s also still factually incorrect.
I factually don’t care.
Yikes. Factual accuracy is important, but hey. At least you’re admitting you don’t care about facts and you just want to be angry. Better than most people can admit.
Just going off your example.

You brought up the ADL as if they were some kind of authority here. Now you’re agreeing with Elon about them being unjust attackers.
