      Man… I can’t beleive how many people tried to gaslight everyone into thinking he was just “sending his heart out”

        He’s openly discussed great replacement theory. Questioned a black pilot’s ability to fly a plane. It’s not hard to join the dots.

          Supporting the AFD is plenty to never give him any benefit of the doubt.

          You can take any person who’s had sufficient coverage and find an unfortunately timed picture of them waving that kinda looks like a Nazi salute. That’s not what happened with Elon, though. The people falsely equivocating those pictures with Elon’s enthused Nazi salute know it, too.

          Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

      He looks like he’s been practising to that Hitler video for a long time. The likeness is impressive in the worst way possible.
