Musk's salute at Trump's Inauguration (sic) doesn't make him a Nazi
Musk's $250 Million donation to an autocratic usurper Makes (sic) him a Nazi-producing industrialist
Musk is to Nazis what the Hostess board of directors is to Twinkies
Sorry about the additional caps. I may also darken the background for legibility.
You're viewing a single thread.
Yeah, I get where you're coming from, and I like your design (though agree it could be a little easier to read) but feel like this is playing in to the "he's not a nazi" narrative his supporters are trying to push, when he is in fact, a nazi, as well as a regime enabling industrialist. The two aren't mutually exclusive, and we should be calling the nazi spade a nazi spade at every opportunity.
I was trying to play on the current that's a Roman salute. That doesn't make him a Nazi with the point that the salute was only his most recent Nazi-indicating behavior, the most egregious of which was buying and ruining a $40 billion social media platform so he could push his monarchist agenda. (With himself being the final monarch. It's always that way.)
I don't understand, how does him being a monarchist make him a Nazi?
Oh, I get it, I just think it plays in to their rhetoric more than it contradicts it.
They're grasping at any and every "he's not a nazi" straw they can find or make up, this just gives them another one to grasp to, because they wouldn't see or care about your intent, all they see is someone deliberately avoiding directly saying "musk is a nazi" or "what makes him a nazi is..", which is exactly their tactic and feeds in to their cognitive dissonance.
You're giving him the degree of separation they're looking for, which he does not deserve.
So again, I understand what you're trying to do, but I think that not explicitly saying "musk is a nazi because..." is counterproductive.
