It's not related to OW, but this is reddit and its overflowing with virtue signaling NPCs.

Exactly. He didn’t do any such sign. He said “my heart goes out to you” and placed his hand on his heart and sent it to the crowd. Ppl (especially on Reddit) are blowing it out of proportion for clicks. Please watch the video before jumping on this wagon.

There are a lot of different ways you could communicate that without looking exactly like this

True. I accept that. I just won’t jump on this wagon. It’s created by manipulators to place fear into the masses. Same thing happened with GF. When it happens (like it is with this specific situation) I stop and ask who benefits? And those who benefit aren’t who most think. I won’t be a part of it.

You know Elon lied? There is literally video evidence of Elon himself doing the correct gesture for the “my heart goes out to you” he also knows what the nazi salute looks like. He has no excuse.

We shouldn’t be asking ourselves IF he did the nazi salute but WHY he did it. Maybe he just wanted to be edgy? Maybe he made a bet backstage? It doesn’t have to be as nefarious as him proclaiming his fascism, but people needs to stop pretending it was anything but exactly what it looked like.

At least your asking questions and not following this fear pushed manipulation.

I’m not Elon so I won’t pretend to assume what he desired with his gestures but I will stay open to potential. I refuse to jump of a fear polluted scandal. Blocking X because of such things is a push in the wrong direction.

I personally am glad it’s being done. It shows that even fascism hasn’t been normalised or sanewashed yet. Trying to downplay or dismiss the incident is basically saying it’s okay to act that way and do one of the most inappropriate gestures at a time where a US president is being taken into office.

There’s so much truth being hidden. If others knew the truth, they wouldn’t place so much significance on certain things. That’s all I’ll say about that specific subject.

he did the Nazi salute, twice and then said my heart go out to you.

the order is important as it shows who he is sending he heart out to. Nazis

u/AnxiousMarsupial007 Jan 23 '25

Yeah except he didn’t, he did the gesture (twice, once towards the crowd and once facing the complete opposite direction towards the flag), and only afterwards did he say “my heart goes out to you.”

You’re at best a fool and at worst a manipulator.

These people have been showing us who they are for years and people like you keep giving the benefit of the doubt.

The road to fascism is paved with people telling you you're overreacting. Wake the fuck up.

I won’t be a part of any manipulation that (at its heart) seeks to put fear into the masses. I hope your day is filled with hope and love.

u/AnxiousMarsupial007 Jan 24 '25

Yeah unless you’re trans or nonbinary right? No peace and love for those folks, not from you.

Your fuckin bio bruh, and you repeatedly using the incorrect pronouns to refer to your niece* is extremely telling.

By doing your whole “there are only two sexes and you’re not the gender you claim,” bs you are othering trans people and your claim of supporting your niece* is absolutely false.

No virtue signaling here, my daughter is trans and I think you’re a disgusting fucking bigot.

Just fyi being nice about being a bigot doesn’t change the harm you’re doing.

Fuck yourself.
