Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Done you mean adrian dittmann?

I wouldn't see it too tragic. Those who would support AfD already do, and the rest won't change the mind because of an article written in a lunatic's name. If he threw considerable amount of money at AfD, I'd get a bit concerned, but in a functional multi-party democracy, especially one with a nazi past, a nazi party would never be invited into a government unless it won an outright majority.

This Some More News episode is well worth a watch. “Nazi sympathiser Elon Musk’s Hitler problem”

🎶 Just a pair of Hitler fanboys, preparing to enter the white house 🎶

I can't believe it just clicked for me that we shouldn't be watching out for the "next Hitler" (which I was getting ready to assign to trump based on the past 9 years) but a group of fetishizing copycats.

Reminds me a bit of how Robert E. Lee and much of the confederacy saw themselves as real-life Misérables (https://boundarystones.weta.org/2019/05/13/how-les-miserables-became-lees-miserables).

The common point between Lee, Hitler, and the Misérables is they were all lost causes in the end (thankfully). Hopefully today's regressive shit-stains-of-a-human-being will go the same way.

Why are his nose and ears so red in that picture? Was this taken outside in winter or something?

[–] GreenKnight23 3 points 5 days ago

resting heart rate can increase during times of extreme stress in a fight or flight scenario. the increased blood pressure will force blood into your extremities to increase chances of survival.

in this picture you can see his ears and nose are red, this may indicate his body is attempting to identify threats to himself using scent and auditory sensory. what may not be easily identified is the way his eyes are wide open, scanning for threats to his safety. I bet his hands and feet are also clammy.

the guy is absolutely terrified of what is going on to him, and is likely watching it take place like a 3rd party view. unable to stop or control himself because he's far too deep into the Putin cesspool.

If I was a profiling type, Elon needs approval from his base. since he's surrounded himself with the type of followers that would easily abandon him for the slightest sign of weakness, he's doubling down on whatever bullshit just so they continue to feed into his narcissism.

things will only get worse for him from here onwards as he slowly loses grip on his public image and his support falters. he will become desperate and dangerous. anyone around him should probably distance themselves now or face consequences later.
