View submission: Elon Musk misleadingly suggests other celebrities made controversial 'Nazi' gesture

View parent comment

“Musk asked Weidel to respond to allegations that the AfD is associated with Hitler’s Nazi party. The chancellor candidate responded by calling the Nazi leader a “communist socialist guy,” and arguing the AfD is “exactly the opposite.”

From the article you linked. Germany doesn’t have free speech and im pretty sure you go to jail for being a nazi there. They don’t seem to be neo nazis.

Im realizing that im arguing with someone who is just going to claim that any one who disagrees with them is a nazi. I challenge you to consider how divisive that rhetoric is. There are bad guys in this world to fight. Musk isn’t one of them.

This idea that people parroting aspects of nazi ideology not being nazis if they don't explicitly proclaim themselves nazis is fucking tired pal.

Can I ask dp you think it's possible that nazis still exist in spirit but are smart enough to know it's frowned upon so they "hide their power level" in public?

Also the video you shared of Walz was edited to make it look more like a nazi salute. Just so you know.
