Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez rips Elon Musk: 'In this country, we hate Nazis'
"I still am not rocking with anyone sympathetic to Nazis," the Democrat said. "And I will do that until I am six feet in the ground.”
Summary
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticized Elon Musk after he made a gesture during Trump’s inauguration resembling a Nazi salute.
Musk and his allies dismissed the comparison, calling such accusations exaggerated.
Ocasio-Cortez, however, called the gesture unacceptable, emphasizing America’s history of opposing Nazis and the Confederacy.
She also condemned the Anti-Defamation League for defending Musk, accusing it of losing credibility.
Her comments sparked broader debate on symbols, gestures, and their implications amid Trump’s return to office.
You're viewing a single thread.
We used to kill Nazis.
Now we cheer them, shrug them off, or make excuses for them.
This nation is pathetic.
I wonder how many conservative's ancestors fought the Nazis and now they're voting for Nazis.
Hey 2A enthusiasts. This is the moment you've been saying you need your guns for your entire pathetic lives. Where you at?
Assuming you're American, you do understand the irony of America taking in the most nazi elite and scientists for their own personal projects right? Also if you read mein kampf you'll find it fascinating how much he was inspired by American legalised racism and ethnic cleanings. America is a nation built like how Israel was, through ideological and legalized genocide, racism, fascism and racism. I'm starting to comprehend how the soviet did the real nazi killing and suffered the real consequences of the Nazis unlike America.
Yeah, the people who see this as a significant deviation from the norm aren't exactly incorrect, but I wonder to what degree they really understand the total history and scope of america as it has existed for basically all of it's span. What we've done, in this country.
WW2 was between Russians and Germans. All the other stuff was barely a side character subplot compared to the Eastern front.
For example, in the Western front the German forces dealt more casualities to US and UK troops than the Allies did to the Axis by quite a lot too. Reading stories and diaries of American troops they would remark how astonishing it is that their German POWs were all either very young, or very old, either way remarkably unfit for combat. German command in the Western front was in shambles, because the vast majority of their efforts were going to the Eastern front. More Germans died in the battle of Stalingrad alone than in the entirety of the Western front. There were sieges in the Baltics that made Omaha Beach seem like a pretty lucky bet. The Belarusian grassroots genocide by Germans is hardly talked about, yet were just as brutal as they were against jews. The Siege of Leningrad is the type of nightmare fuel, hell on earth that Spielberg would never dream of touching. The West puts so much self importance about their fight against the German Nazi Machine, meanwhile it was the communists who did all the work while Western capitalists profited every step of the way since the beginning. And as you pointed out, America had and still has a strong Nazi following, also curiously backed by billionaires.
Now the collective West is the new Nazi party, and like it or not it's up to Russia and China to stop them again.
EDIT - Just wanted to point out that a lot of the horrors of the Eastern front is equally blamed on Stalin too, Baltic people hate Germany and Russia the same for WW2. Every side of WW2 sucked horrendous ass, and nobody won in WW2 (except for capitalists)
Now the collective West is the new Nazi party, and like it or not it’s up to Russia and China to stop them again.
I was expecting hexbear or .ml for this sort of claim
Who do you think will stop them then? Are you counting on Americans to "rise up" like the average German moderate in the 1930's did?
Oh I have no idea, I was just enjoying tankiness of the statement
I don't get it though, I don't even read Marx. The fact that it was Russia and China who stopped fascists last time, and might have to do it again because the West is doing the opposite of stopping fascism, how is that Marxist? It's literally what happened.
You have no idea how "Now the collective West is the new Nazi party, and like it or not it’s up to Russia and China to stop them again." sounds tankie as fuck?
No, I don't talk to tankies I don't think. I genuinely don't understand why you'd have this reaction to a description of what's happening.
Just looked up what a "tanky" was, got mixed results, looks like classic red scare communism-phobia to me, lots of people butthurt that Russia beat the Nazis and freed the concentration camps with violence as if that was a mistake. Did it happen some other way then? And all that stuff about Russia and Stalingrad and Berlin is just tankie propaganda? Please.
It sounds like something tankies say because that's what tankies say. It's not much deeper than that lol
Ok so it's something tankies say, why is that a problem? If they said the sky was blue would you say everyone who thinks the sky is blue is a tankie?
EDIT - Just to add, you know who else reacted negatively to communists? You know why the Nazis targetted jews? Or is the irony of using "tankie" as a pejorative and being a fascist lost on you?
Kill Nazis. Kill Nazi CEOs twice.
Hey 2A enthusiasts. This is the moment you've been saying you need your guns for your entire pathetic lives. Where you at?
They're apparently calling for gun control in the threads discussing LGBTQ+ people arming themselves.
Sounds like they're still cowards. Well, at least they're consistent. Enemies that are consistent are easier to study and destroy.
That moment for 2A enthusaists came when Alabama banned abortion (before Roe v. Wade was overturned) and when Trump was putting children in cages. They didn't then... they were the Nazis all along. The same people who just wanted to be the Brownshirts, but with their own personal firearms and not something issued to them.
We're seeing a similiar bullshit in Israel with West Bank illegal 'settlers' carrying M4 pattern rifles with them to the 'homes'.
As an LGBTQ+ person who supports the NRA and believes we need substantially more guns in America and to repeal all gun regulation, I really hope all LGBTQ+ and allies not only are armed, but realize the benefit of owning a variety of firearms.
Since conservatives are trying to say some or all LGBTQ+ people are mentally ill, and mental illness is often used to justify disarming people, it's really important for LGBTQ+ people to be aware of these issues.
In the US, gender dyphoria is classified as a mental illness under the DSM and so technically any trans person who has seen a doctor is mentally ill and not allowed to own guns.
Therefore, trans people will hopefully realize the important of being armed prior to disclosing their trans status to a doctor and decent people should do their best to not only the discredit the DSM as the pseudointellectual biased phrenologyesque crock of shit that it is, but also to have gender dysphoria removed as a psychiatric issue and labeled for what it is, a medical issue resulting from brain differences that requires treatment.
LBGTQIA+ folks aren't magical unicorns... They can have garbage takes just like anyone else.
You support the NRA?
You want to repeal all gun regulation?
Defend both of those immediately or show yourself here as a troll aiming to sow discord along an oddly narrow path.
if you look at my post history, which is filled with unmitigated pro 2A pro-NRA posts, you'll see I'm not a troll.
We would live in a much more polite society if everyone were armed.
The fact that 2A can be limited if a person gets diagnosed with depression makes it more likely people, especially men, avoid mental health treatment (and then eventually commit suicide).
Gender dyphoria is considered a mental illness and is already a potential large attack surface for conservatives to disarms trans people (to use a software metaphore).
The NRA is in favor of repealing needless pointless gun regulations which ahve horrible secondary effects and reduce the safety of all.
I also disagree that all LGBTQI+ people take out the garbage.
Nazis used to be flesh and blood. Now they’re phantoms
Those phantoms are in our government and marching in our streets.
