The Official Politics Thread (enter at your own risk)

[Come On You Irons]

There. Resident WHO political commentators and gurus can knock yourselves out in here and conduct your endless bickering. All other threads will be locked.

[Cabbige Savage]

what false claims? I just looked at the weirdo cսnt doing the exact same salute as the other weirdo, musk. but neither gesture is as bizarre as tampons in boys bathrooms

Or Kia Starmer getting the doors at his back broken by Lord Alli 

[Lee Trundle]

Why is it so difficult for you to believe they're NAZI's, and not both excitable man-childs?

They've all been saluting right under our very noses all the time.

[One Sunny Day]

No, you're making desperate, false claims, with nothing to back it up. 

[Lee Trundle]

So you expect me to go over there and film him for you for evidence?

You can't be playing this down.  The NAZI's are everywhere.

[One Sunny Day]

I've never noticed the salute, but it appears that most of the western leaders have given one at some point in their careers if you look at SOCIAL MEDIA, several times if you're someone like Tim Walz (looks like everyone dodged a bullet having a VP as a Nazi!)

Video footage for comparison. Not some still photo of them mid wave, like the ones being spread round social media.

Oh dear. If you think that's a nazi salute, you really are grasping at straws.

(6) Champagne Joshi on X: "I’ve obtained footage of Tim Walz doing the Nazi salute on stage while campaigning for Kamala Harris. I can’t believe the press missed it. https://t.co/5OuOSMwIfB" / X

There's loads of salutes out there.  I can't believe we've been missing them all.  Trudeau, Macron.  They've all been at it, right under our noses.

We were all so close having one in the White House as a VP.

The fascist salute is probably the funniest things to have happened recently. 

Just think of all the evils in the World. Every single day the breadth and depth of depravity but the left get wound up by a brief arm and hand movement.

These people never cease to amaze me in their complete idiocy. 

Anyway. The Trump administration is forging ahead quickly turning their plans into immediate actions.

Strange they decided to pardon Fauci all the way back to 2014.

It's almost like he has quite a bit to hide from us.

It will be interesting how the covid era will be re written in the next few years.

An experiment in human nature confirmed.

It's also human nature to brush it all under the carpet and pretend it never happened for the masses to feel better about themselves

[Monsieur merde de cheval]

You think that is a nazi salute?

He's not in the right clobber either

Trump just released the JFK and MLK Jr. Files

"I’m aspirationally Jewish” - Elon Musk


Worst Nazi ever.
 

Elon knew exactly what he was doing. Twice .And whats worse is I think most of you know it, but you're too far invested to admit it

[frank_booth]

"I’m aspirationally Jewish” - Elon Musk


Worst Nazi ever.

Yeah, Elon Musk, descendants of literal Nazis, who has been accused of being an antisemite, and was going to sue the ADL,  but was then forced to kiss Israel's ring and says and does whatever benefits him...nah, nothing to see here. 

The mental gymnasitcs people are going through is so funny to watch. 

[nerd2]

Loves a little microdose of the ket his words not mine , looked off his nut yesterday old Elon haha

I wonder which Trump family member will be the Republican Party Presidential candidate in 2028?

[frank_booth]

I think Musk's Nazi salute was a fascinating moment. Firstly because the ADL, who call you an antisemite if don't like Israeli couscous, defend him by saying it was an "awkward gesture." Can you imagine if Rashida Tlaib said and did the exact same thing? They'd be calling for her head. And even though Elon Musk has had his issues with antisemetism in the past, they are willing to give him a pass because they care more about anti-Zionism, and the Musk administration and Twitter are going to help turn Gaza into Greater Israel. Same with all the others that are quick to call you an antisemite if you eat watermelon, Rachel Riley for one. Silence.


And secondly, it was fascinating to see the gaslighting happen in real time. It was a case of throw shit at the wall and see what sticks. It went from "only" being the roman salute (which is also known as the fascist salute, which inspired the Nazi salute, so i don't know how that excuse helped), to posting as many images of Democrats with their hands in the air showing that it can happen to anyone, even though they were clearly photos of people waving, not throwing up a Nazi Salute...now they seem to have landed on "Elon Musk is an enthusiastic spastic with autism/aspergers." I see that's the line this site is going with. 

I love how people refuse to believe that a guy whose family got rich in apartheid south africa, and whose grandparents were in the Nazi party, who promotes racists online, supports the far right in gernmany, who wants to make the US, UK, and germany white again, could inadvertedly throw up a Nazi salute. He knows what putting his hand to his chest then throwing up "an outstretched right arm with the palm down" (ADL definition of the salute) means. He just doesn't give a fuck, and places like this site show why.

As someone else said like it was a good thing, the word Nazi will now be diluted to fuck. As will fascist. If you call it what it is, you will just be unpatriotic. It's well played really. 

[Mr Anon]

You just know that the "NAZI" insult will pretty much be worn out in 4 years time.

I do agree with that, that and fascist are overused to the point of becoming meaningless, like I said I found it funny more than anything.With Musk though sometimes you wonder, he has many a questionable quote, or view on workers rights etc

Also it either shows a lack of awareness just how a chest thump followed by a straight armed salute may appear, or a distinct awareness of it, he is a self professed troll after all, so when its easy to play it off as innocent, how perfect to wind up the left.

It WAS funny in a , 'Oh my God he's doing a Father Ted in front of the window thing' sort of a way. However, nobody seriously thinks that Father Ted was really a Nazi. That's why it was funny.

absolutely, which is why I posted it without comment, the only thing funnier was Nutsin's unhinged reaction

A 'seig heil' is delivered standing straight upright and looking face forward, not looking along his arm whilst leaning at an angle.

So, there's that.
