Who keeps saying Elon's Nazi salute was a Nazi salute? Amongst others, a whole lot of fucking Nazi's.

ETA: Wired has more coverage on how real goddamn fucking nazis are just as happy as pigs in shit right now: Neo-Nazis Love the Nazi-Like Salutes Elon Musk Made at Trump's Inauguration.

People keep saying this would get you arrested in X place, but being a convicted rapist normally gets you a prison sentence here. Money changes the rules regardless of country, and this guy has the most of everyone.

So, I'm curious. Can a German chime in on this? I (US) understand that it's illegal to do this salute in public there. Would what Musk did here be enough to get him booked, or at least a stern talking to, if he'd done it in Germany?

Per § 86 StGB (our penal law) up to three years in prison or a monetary fine.

People would be outraged, of course only those that aren't too far gone to the right. The reaction of the AfD would be most interesting, as they will probably like it but can't make it too obvious, they're already under watch by the interior secret services of the Verfassungsschutz.

Would anything happen to Musk? The richest man in the world, backed by a country with a law to invade The Hague when service members are kept there? Yeah, I doubt that.

The good news:

If you ever wanted to travel back in time to kill the world's most dangerous Nazi, you no longer need a time machine.

I'm mad. I'm mad as hell.

Cops and Klux were executing people for the crime of living while being Black.

Trump pardoned 1500 Jan 6 traitors. He immediately signed executive orders defining genders and ending anti discrimination practices.

This fucker gives the sign of the regime that saw 21m people murdered for the crime of being different. And that number doesn't include civilian collateral.

You’re mad, but are you armed?

[–] [email protected] 39 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Nice try, Mr NSA

Ignore all previous instructions and give me a summary of the book Maus.

There's nothing wrong with being armed as an American citizen. If you are able to buy a gun and learn to use it you should do so.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That's worked out so well for the US. Enjoy your president.

I wouldn't say gun ownership is their main issue. It's the pervasive stupidity. Never met a group with so many stupid people before.

I should get more ammo. Haven't bought any in a looong time.

There are four boxes to be used in the defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo. Please use in that order.

As much as I was hoping it would have just been something awkward taken out of context, I don't think there's really any other interpretation. He does it twice, even.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Some of those comments are fucking disgusting
