Every single news outlet is doing the same. Not daring to call it the Nazi salute it was, and firing those who do.
CBS 58 weather reporter Sam Kuffel is out after criticizing Elon Musk arm gesture
When we wonder how people did not resist the Nazis in 1930s Germany, this is how. Everyone afraid and trying not to anger them, and all the businesses silencing dissent to protect themselves.
Fascists don't worry about making sense. Violence is always available to them, and that's all they want you to know.
Hmm, worth thinking about.
We all saw this coming from a mile off.
Now I'm a peaceful person, but I can't deny there's a slightly disappointing turn a few words into that headline.
It's a good point about not taking the bait of debating with the far right about their nonsense, but I'm not convinced it quite counts as trolling when, being a proud Nazi, you get up in front of a bunch of Nazis and do Nazi salute to show them you are a Nazi. I guess the trolling is what he did afterwards.
I think that one is referring to Trump. Musk won't be punished for his Nazi salute, just as Trump isn't punished for raping women.
Yes, part of the authoritarian playbook is to train the populace to disengage from politics.

That was the first one, and then another one a few seconds later. Nothing accidental here.
You know, like that irritating Mr. Hitler.
10% of Russian nukes working fine would still be a catastrophe not worth risking.
So redditors who deeply believe they're superior are breeding? We're in trouble.
Yeah, I guess Michael Fanone, the officer who got brain damage, burns, a heart attack and PTSD, after being beaten and given electric shocks by the crowd, was just failing to perceive the peacefulness of the situation.
I can’t believe people thought that was actually “violently storming” the capitol
It was a protest. Methinks you’ve never seen an actual violent crowd
There's a video here of some of the peaceful protesting:
