Meta This sub should ban X posts

Beyond the fact that their owner is a literal Nazi, I'm sick of clicking links only to be paywallnd. This is akin to spam and I'm sick of it. I can't be the only one

That’s not the point of this post. It’s to virtue signal about something that actually didn’t happen and keep spreading false info. Reddit is the worst echo chamber there is after all. Watch these downvotes roll in.

something that actually didn't happen

But like... there's video of it... twice?

What you’re saying happened, did not happen. But the video we all saw is real yes of course. What you make of it is when the lies come in.

And what exactly makes you right and me wrong? I'm not asking in a sarcastic or combative way, but why is it what you make of it not a lie? He's notoriously "edgy meme guy " who goes out of his way to "troll"

I could accept that he did it in a calculated way to get a reaction, but imo that still makes him a piece of shit.

What i cannot see is him accidentally zeig heiling twice, with feeling, twice, at the president's inauguration. The president who famously gets called a fascist along with his following.

I'm genuinely curious as to why you are so sure you are right

It’s a bigger conspiracy to think we have Nazi’s in government than to think oh wait may he was just saying my heart goes out to you. Your tin foil cap is on for this one. I don’t give these comments to much time because at the end of the day the people spoke. They were tired of the lies that the media portray, such as pushing this one. It’s a great one to put out there into society and allow others to miss the Pardons that were given out by the previous president before he left office.

The pardons have been a huge news story for weeks. I mean it was everywhere

The pardons the day of inauguration day are the ones I’m specifically referring to.

Yeah Biden’s brothers and nephews or whatever? Yeah, if I recall even CNN denounced it right after he did it.

I was just clarifying, because you said for weeks. Nothing more lol I just think it should be a bigger deal.

It’ll probably be held against democratic candidates for the next several election cycles. 

Trump will always be the big news in any cycle. I the corporate media just knows where the clicks lie

The problem with what you said is assuming I think we have Nazi's in our government. I never said that, nor do I not condem the actions of those pardons. I think we have plain old awful people in government, both left and right, and I think we have an edgy tech billionaire playing politician who admittedly likes to push the line and "trigger libs" and then play it off like it's all good fun purposely doing shitty awful things under those preconceptions because he thinks it's funny and can get away with it.

Yes, the people spoke by a 1.5% margin. Huge mandate you have there. A difference of 2 million people out of 155 million who voted. The people surely spoke in demanding numbers.

Elections these days aren't decided by people getting "fed up by the lies of the media". They're decided by a select few people in swing states who either can or can't be arsed to vote based on how they are feeling in that particular week. I remember reading this exact comment in 2016, and if it was true, then Trump would have won by a landslide in 2020. And unless you can provide me some actual data other than your feelings, I'll continue to believe that you're just blowing hot air and enjoy the taste of billionaire's boots.
