The Anti-Defamation League, a US-based pro-Israeli group which monitors anti-Semitism and hate speech, has described Musk’s gesture as “awkward” but did not say it was a Nazi salute.
That's a bit of bullshit. The ADL said specifically that it was NOT a Nazi salute. Which is the end of the ADL, for me. They're simply not credible as alleged opponents of anti-Semitism.
So Netanyahu, leader of a bunch of Nazis, just said he's a friend to them, case closed.
wasn't there a quote about control and knowing who you can't criticize?
Yeah but it was more so talking about how when Democrats are in power it's okay to criticize both Democrat and republicans, however once Republicans are in power you're not allowed to criticize Republicans because the power stigma shifts.
something that I've started noticing as of late as well. If you try to criticize the Republican Party you'll be met with resistance, arguments and full shutdown leadin to personal attacks, where if you criticize the Democratic Party, they will still disagree with what you say but they'll at least listen to you.
Democrats?
Democrats are criticized by democrats all the time. Republicans actively censor all criticism they have control over.
Republicans actively censor all criticism they have control over.
One of the major reasons why I like Lemmy is the multitude of options available for dealing with "Republican" moderators of all political bents.
You can't criticize the democrats? Did Fox News shut down?
You can't criticize the democrats?
Depends on the instance.
Low effort tankie
this is where u support them and prop them up to motivate people to do the same
OMG the comments section on that article is something...
I've never trusted Russia Today to be a fact based news source and more importantly it's been a long time since I've trusted CBS to report on anything that isn't 100% motivated by their own self-interested drive for profit.
TLDR:
Neither news source involved are known to me to be particularly trustworthy.
UN vote on combating glorification of nazism
It's that same fucking map again
TL:DR the countries who voted against did so to prevent Russia from using this vote as a justification for their invasion of Ukraine. Indeed they used the pretense of "removing Nazis" for their invasion.
These countries do not condone fascism (or at least officially. I'm looking at you, USA)
Completely removing any credibility from the narrative that you like Nazis by checks notes voting against condemning Nazis.
Is that also the US's justification for voting against this resolution every time it comes up, before or since?
I've never been good at reading stuff like this, so it's more than plausible I'm just missing it, but I can't find where the resolution would give anyone the legal power or moral authority to invade another state.
Indeed they used the pretense of “removing Nazis”
Absolutely huge brained move to vote for the glorification of nazism in response.
Come on man. Took me all of 30 seconds to Google and find this.
There must be a better source for this news than RT.
Garbage article, hiding behind the ADL, afraid to call him a nazi as well. Cowards who don't call out nazi-ism are playing defense for the nazi's. To the wall with the lots of them, good on Sam for not bowing to fascist authority.
It's like when a todler is hiding behind a thin pole and everyone can still see them. The ADL can't hide anything behind the phrase "awkward gesture." Someone needs only ask, "What makes it awkward?"
Right so calling the guy who endorses and promotes Nazis on his website, who reuses Nazi rhetoric and who uses Nazis symbols on camera is reckless?
Love how he’s been championing Nazis and telling holocaust jokes for years , but the salute is somehow too much for people
And the ADL condones the salute, but condemns the jokes.
You know there is a specific type of person who holds 95% percent Nazi views, but is pointing fingers in all directions when an actual Nazi is called out as a Nazi. It is the same type of person that says he hates rapists most of all things, but never admits there is enough proof of sexual misconduct about any actual rapist. That person is the next door m'fer that enables fascism and patriarchy throughout history, and he is complicit to both.
If it quacks like a duck, if it walks like a duck, maybe, just maybe its a duck. They will still give some political grace saying its jot PC to call him a nazi even if he starts calling tump "mein fuher", starts preaching mein kampf, and starts building oddly large ovens.
