Soooooo many Nazis to tag on Lemmy today
Who/what is ADL?
Anti-Defamation League. Basically a zionist organization that goes after anything they percieve as being anti-semitic. Their definition of anti-semitic typically seems to include vocally supporting Palestine & not supporting Israel.
Part of what makes this noteworthy is they call anti-semitism often in dubious cases where it is not present - so them defending Elon sieg heiling multiple times is unusual, but also likely a calculated move to not distance their organization from president musk’s administration.
It used to be Anti-Defamation League but it’s looking more like AIPAC Defense League.
ADL stands for Anti Defamation League, the first paragraph on the about us page on their website reads.
ADL is the leading anti-hate organization in the world. Founded in 1913, its timeless mission is “to stop the defamation of the Jewish people and to secure justice and fair treatment to all.”
*except Palestinians
Nah, you just gotta ask them what a fair treatment for a Palestinian would be. Probably not anywhere near what would be fair treatment for an Israeli. Or most other folks.
Pretty sure their ‘fair treatment’ involves giving them a free (metaphorical) pine box.
Yeah, Israel like other places that commit crimes against humanity aren’t into respecting their victims after death, just like they didn’t do it while they were alive.
According to the Israel government, the “fair treatment” for Palestinians is the “Endlösung”.
They’re an organization that calls out antisemitism.
Problem is saying anything against Israel, or pro-Palestine will get you on their public list of antisemites, along side your local neo-nazi militia members.
It’s Zionist propaganda and intimidation.
So they’re a Nazi organization
Anti-Defamation League. They’re a non-profit political group that state their mission is to combat anti-Semitism. They’re mostly a pro-Isreal group.
They spied for a foreign government. They should have been required to register as foreign agents and the only reason they didn’t was because the foreign government was Israel. Instead they just had to notify the US citizens they spied upon that they spied upon them, and what they discovered.
Yeah it was just “my heart goes to all of you” also known as "Meine Ehre heißt Treue”.
That’s literally not what this picture depicts.
They’re not “defending a nazi salute”. They’re saying the awkward gesture wasn’t one.
This community exists by the sloppy perception of its readers. You want to be surrounded by Nazis (clearest form of moral imperative from history — for those who’ve only scratched the surface of studying history — providing an easy direction for your life) so badly that you’re willing to ignore the evidence directly in front of your eyes.
The screenshot in this post literally disproves the claim in the title. This is the essence of doublespeak: contradictions in the smallest possible footprint, laid out glaringly and consumed with eager approval.
Dude, watch the video, it’s like 10 seconds long. He does the salute, twice. Not in a “oh this could be construed as something else”, but a full on seig heil. Twice.
He then posted the video of himself doing it on Twitter. Not with any explanations or defense of his actions, just the video.
He gave a Nazi salute and is proud of it. And idiots like you are scrambling to try and give him the benefit of the doubt when literally no doubt exists.
Mate, he did the nazi salute twice. If it was a still image you might be able to believe that it was an unintentional part of a larger gesture, but the video shows what it is. It’s a nazi salute. If you don’t want to be compared to nazis, maybe don’t do the nazi salute?
This is the essence of doublespeak: contradictions in the smallest possible footprint, laid out glaringly and consumed with eager approval.
That’s what you’re doing literally right now. Dude makes a clear Nazi salute and you’re like “naaah surely the ADL can’t be wrong” like no fuck the ADL and their lies.
Reposting someone else’s gif becsuse it is so perfect.
DoN’t BeLiEvE yOuR lYiNg EyEs
sheesh
Lol is the Elon response real of photoshopped? Man what an asshole if true. I mean, also asshole if not.
I’ve always suspected this man was a wolf in sheep’s clothing, but I was told I was overthinking it. I wonder if the ppl who told me that I was wrong remember doing so.
Did it ever occur to you that maybe this was simply a mistake? Never assume Malice for something that can be explained by utter stupidity. If it was intentional he probably would be bragging about it non stop.
Did it ever occur to you to watch the video? Even the first time was a very deliberate movement, and the second time should remove any doubt.
It is hard to do it by mistake, and even if let’s not treat 53 year old man as some kid that didn’t know.
Gaslighting.
Two times. One after another. He did it two times specifically to assure you that he’s not joking. And he knew you would still excuse him.
Shocker that you want to defend the nazi
Yes, that was my first thought. Then I saw him turn around and do it a second time.
I think he didn’t mean to do it in that moment, but he appears to have been practicing. <br>
Oh, you don’t heil twice by accident.
Spock would be disappointed in you.
The ADL are defenders of genocide. Is it any wonder they’d be pro-Nazi?
The ADL exposed themselves as a hate group 14 months ago
Lot of businesses backed up Hitler and his Nazis too.
A lot of them even came out of that whole situation in pretty good shape.
IBM, Coke, and Ford had no issues doing business in nazy germany, even if they were under a different name. Business only cares about steady and growing revenues/margins no matter how it comes about it.
The most important lesson I learned in Hebrew school was that the Holocaust would have not been possible without IBM.
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
I pray to St. Luigi of the Holy Adjustment
This is the only correct answer.
I don’t know who adl is but this is correct. he actually was going off on the us putting astronaughts on mars because he wants trump to funnel money to his company. He was making all these broad gestures and we are going to put a flag here and here. honestly I practically would have prefered a straight out nazis salute.
ADL is a German fascist party.
That’s AfD.
Oh, my bad.
you would think they would be more pro nazis salute.
He thumped his chest and did it emphatically. Then he turned around and did it again. The only way it could’ve been more nazilike is if he stomped while he did it
yeah. sorry if it sounded like he did not its just his whole thing went into this america fuck yeah type of thing that followed in lets get people on mars which worries me more as I hear a big sucking of tax money sound from him. what he was going on about would cost someone (cough us) trillions and not just one. many many. but yeah why that is his go to excitement gesture is pretty disturbing.
If it was a genuine mistake he would have sincerely apologised. Only a nazi doesn’t apologise for making a nazi salute.
Is “Thanks guys” the only comment he’s made on the topic?
(Asking here because I don’t have a twitter account)
I remember reading he also just laughed it off and said people are just paranoid and see what they want to see.
A pretty good tell-tale sign of a fascist is that they will never apologize or admit doing wrong. You have to appear strong at all times.
He’s laughing at them. He feels so safe.
I’d feel pretty safe if I literally controlled the platform everyone was speaking on, too.
What a shame if
He’s laughing with them, they’re out there gaslighting people for him.
I’d imagine Musk thinking everybody are laughing with him always because he is so desperate for validation and those that he can’t gaslight himself are with him is why he is a nazi.
I’d imagine Trump to laugh to himself with self indulgence of all his smarts, and mostly scoffing and despise everyone that supports him or not including those closest to him and his own family. Thinking of it, it’s not impossible he despises them all because they are supporting him. Idiots that allow themselves to be herded like sheep by a wolf like himself.
In this case, they are. The AIPAC Defense League is dickriding Leon Skum because he’s in tight with the new furher, and both of them are cool with israel leveling Palestine.
These are one side of the same coin.
By all accounts I’ve heard, the man has no sense of humour at all and scarcely ever find anything funny. Fact is, we’re in this mess because he can’t take a joke.
Regardless of if he intended to do a Nazi salute or not exposing the public to that level of cringe should be a capital offense.
I hope his Tesla malfunctions with him in it. Shitty ass car killing a shitty ass person would be chefs kiss
Now that I can certainly agree with.
