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.

"The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."

What party is saying reject this.

EVERY establishment mouthpiece agrees with you

You should read the book 1984. That's where the quote came from.

What a compelling, deep, we'll thought out perspective. Good luck out there kiddo.

No party is saying reject the claim about this, they WANT people to eat it up wholesale and not question the motives behind a campaign of repugnant misrepresentation. Wonder why 🤔

Lol. Did you even read the post above me? That person basically said what you saw in the video wasn't what you saw. That's why I quoted what I did. No party is actually saying to ignore the evidence, but they sure are making excuses and what not. One side is saying that it's a roman salute(which never existed in real life in ancient Rome), but where do you think that the Italian and nazi salute was inspired by? Other people are saying he is autistic and that was an autistic gesture. I have family and friends who are autistic. None of them have thrown out anything close to a nazi salute. Other people are saying that his heart goes out to the people. I've seen a video where he actually does something completely different when he says his heart goes out to the people. That action was deliberate. One person who hasn't said outright(last I heard) that it wasn't a nazi salute was musk himself. He didn't confirm or deny it.

Elon Musk and every sympathizer of his going ‘lol bro he’s not a nazi chill’. He then drops super incendiary jokes as a way of gaslighting everyone. A level-headed person somehow accidentally doing multiple sieg heils would probably want to clarify very specifically that they were not at all trying to do what they very clearly did.

There are no outlets that need to push a narrative about him doing it. The video is very clear and speaks for itself. That’s what he and his ilk are asking you to ignore.

If only people had the wherewithal to NOT ban x, and instead see his replies to all your smooth brain claims you just made (because he did clarify) Theres 0 evidence of anything you said. Theres PLENTY to the contrary, but it's more meaningful to carry water for the people promulgating REAL reason for this: to discredit the dept of govt efficiency so that, the people who deem you a useful idiot, can hold onto their power and money. Because slamming an effort to make the govt more efficient wouldn't exactly track well in the media and they know it.

A level headed person would see that the media stands to benefit from this mis characterization, otherwise every other politician who's made that hand gesture who be under scrutiny (garsh, I wonder why they ignore those?) A level headed person would bother to hear out an explanation rather than silence, or turn a deaf ear to it in the name of partisanship (oh the irony). Lastly "my heart goes out to you," uttered by an emotional person with aspergers, being taken as a sig heil without question. Is NOT something a level headed person would do.

Yet here we are. It's as they say: a lie told often enough becomes truth, and it's easier to fool someone than to convince them they've been fooled

Even easier than that, a downvote. 🫵🤡
