Another chapter in "ugh everyone is upset about current thing so I need to show how much smarter I am."

Biden providing weapons to Israel is fucking shitty and he has blood on his hands that will never wash off.

Elon Nazi saluting is also fucking shitty and a sign that there will be more blood that won't wash off over the next four years.

So how in the fuck can you understand the seriousness of one and dismiss the other as a "hand gesture"? Fucking pathetic. Like if someone says "I am going to kill all non whites" and you're all "oh why are you so bothered about sound waves in the air instead of [thing I care more about]?"

Congratulations, YouTuber. You are indeed the smartest. Well done

The Youtuber voting for the Green Party of all things was certainly dumb as hell.

[–] OccamsTeapot@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Yeah it's not a very practical decision to vote Green in a two party system. But honestly if you are unwilling to vote for parties enabling genocide I'm not really going to criticise too much. Voters with conscience aren't to blame, the parties are.

What a shit take.

Yes, people should also be upset about Biden sending bombs to Israel, but that's been going on for years and, unfortunately, is pretty much well worn ground.

But muskmelon throwing a fucking Nazi salute is absolutely worth all of this attention, because it shows how little they care to hide it and how open they're going to be about this shit.

Aye. My personal take is that both must be condemned as horrific. The Youtuber is wrong to call it "just a symbol". I didn't see any discussion of the $8 billion in arms anywhere though, which struck me as bizarre. Perhaps it is just due to a filter bubble.
