What have I just seen:Trump

[Chinupandtitsout]

Just been sitting open-mouthed at his speach. Now it’s the Village People. Am
i living in augmented reality?

whilst we're at it,
perhaps we should cancel these Nazis too? 🤣

@shayri

They're even in my local Chinese restaurant!!!

cats: EVIL 🤣

@Lilifer

"Santa's a fascist! 🙈😱😱😱"

All the evidence is there- the persecution of the elves in slave labour camps making toys for children.
The strict red uniform and black jackboots.
The Nazi salutes accompanied by "Ho, ho, ho" which is clearly based on "Heil".
Santa is an unelected dictator in a kingdom wrapped in secrecy with no free press.

Brilliant.

@Babadookinthewardrobe I suppose you've seen the videos? That very clearly show him doing this actual gesture?

I would just love to see you post that on X.

But, of course, you are not going to do that.

@shayri the absolute irony of you taking photos out of context, then arguing that that is what happened to musk.

I hope you're not laughing at nazis.

oh do yourself a favour, go have some cake and coffee

@CinnamonStick77

"I hope you're not laughing at nazis."

No laughing at Nazis would be something like this:

Maybe it's just me but I don't find nazis funny

makes me want to watch reruns of Allo Allo, which involved many moments of laughing at Nazis

Whether Musk meant the sentiment, it is, having watched the video, clearly a Nazi salute. You can't get away from that.

He probably didn't mean it as such, but it just shows what a fucking moron he is to have done it without understanding why it might be problematic. Just fucking wave, you twat.

You do know that a red top exclusive scoop alleged all Brighton supporters were nazis for shouting “Sig Heil” during football matches a few years ago. Turns out they were shouting “Seagulls” (their team’s nickname). That’s you all over @CinnamonStick77

That’s good, because there are no Nazis here.

You do realise I've linked you to the video that has him doing the salute?

The people of the USA have voted for them, and they now have to be allowed to get on with it.

Personally I think they are a bunch of immoral oligarchs, who’s only really interest is making more money for themselves … but the people who voted them in, know this.

I think Musk is a bored rich boy, who (much like a drug addict), needs to get bigger and bigger kicks - where this leads now he’s running the US who knows … I’m assuming he’ll be after the UK, and possibly other places in Europe.

I feel some sympathy for those who will be negatively impacted by the wealth grab - and like a lot of these things, those who voted them in will probably be worse effected.

i think the model he has isn’t sustainable, too many people think they are in charge, and they will eventually run out of people to blame and start blaming each other…it will be like the fall of The Roman Empire when it happens, I just hope the fall out doesn’t do too much damage

As for the UK.. we need to closer align ourselves with Europe, and anyone else outside the US.. find new markets, and build a stable economy that will be attractive to relocating US business.

@1dayatatime exactly!! 😂😂😂

I think it would be easier to take the view it was a error if he wasn't actively supporting the far right in Germany.

No he didn't, stop being silly.

@2dogsandabudgie again, I have linked the video. Are you going to deny it after watching it?

Loved that programme! "Good moaning"

One of the reasons I didn't want Trump to win despite preferring him to the alternative is that I found the 2016-2020 years of progressive hysterical backlash extremely annoying. I see we're off to a great start...

But to just yell constantly about Nazis well beyond the point of desensitisation is to abrogate responsibility to make substantive criticisms of Trump, Musk, et al, their policy agenda, and their implementation plan.

The project at hand is a radical return to the politics of national interest, following decades of internationalism becoming entrenched as the establishment position. There are concrete reasons for this turn and it's reflected across most of the West (including the UK).

As with any radical change, though, there is a place for thoughtful critique from an almost conservative standpoint: "okay, we see you want to do this, but there was a reason we put in that gate in the road that you're proposing to scrap: what's your alternative way to address that original problem, or are you prepared to deal with the consequences?"

Yes he did, stop being silly

Of course I am, he touched his heart and said my heart goes out to you. His arm went out to the side in a gesture indicating that.

I'm not even a fan of Musk but come on stop trying to make something out of nothing.
