Lmao, okay, so now it isn’t a Nazi salute. In that case may I refer you to my initial comment: if you think it’s not a Nazi salute, go do it in Germany and see what happens.
You are making up excuses for the press and for Elon Musk’s actual Nazi salute based on a flawed understanding of what libel is. And you seem totally uninterested in the actual legal definition of libel as it pertains to public figures, how curious.
I do not engage with debate perverts so now that you have revealed yourself this is done.
It is one of my pet peeves. My grandma was the sweetest woman on earth, one of her go to phrases doesn’t deserve this one dimensional understanding! You can only have it as an insanely effective burn if it’s usually sincere! I will get up on a soapbox and bang pots and pans about this all day if I’m allowed, haha.
Yes, you said that, but it doesn’t make it true. The bar for libel is much higher for public figures, and it would have to be false that it was a Nazi salute for anyone to be found guilty of libel.
You cannot both say ‘no obviously I believe it was a Nazi salute’ and ‘nobody can call it a Nazi salute in the press because they’ll get sued for the crime of lying about someone.’
Oh, sorry, I must have missed the part where you said it’s a Nazi salute. If you believe that then spending this much time arguing about how there’s no way it could be proved in court that it’s a Nazi salute gives the wrong impression.
Especially since for public figures (like Musk) the bar for libel is much higher, and requires that someone know what they said was untrue.
That’s what I thought too re: it being a token thing, but my spouse who grew up in a blue state suburb didn’t even get that!
They don’t give a single fuck with chickens. I don’t know if you’ve ever seen chicken transportation trucks, but it’s literally just jammed full of chickens in tiny cages, 8-10 layers high, exposed to the elements. If you live close enough to commercial chicken farms you’ll see dead ones on the side of the road all the time where they’ve fallen off the truck and been run over.
Since people outside the south tend to not know that the phrase is generally uttered as a sincere one after someone has emotionally moved you, whose bite exists only in that context (ie, you have moved them to pity) I choose to interpret it in the former way, the same way my Democratic southern grandmother would have. Bless her heart, she is doing the Lord’s work.
Go do that in Germany and see what happens, if you’re so sure it’s not a Nazi salute.
Is this a modern (past 20-30 years) trend, or did I just get insanely lucky with my school teaching us about stuff like the Trail of Tears as a kid?
Fucking crazy to me that so many people left of center are fighting over who to blame on their side when the people who voted for it are right there and in power.

I saved it from a cropped image of an old zine and forgot to make note of where I got it 😭 Reverse image search isn’t helping me
Queer shitposters you’re my only hope!
Alt text: pictures of suburban neighborhoods and homes with text over it that reads: “this is no place of honor. No esteemed deed is commemorated here. What is here is dangerous and repulsive to us. Turn back.”

We fired the art department and replaced them with an orb. It hovers about four feet off the ground and follows us around the office. Sometimes it feels like it's waiting for something. Sometimes it follows you home. Jim says it told him to dig into the dirt. It will save the company twelve dollars.
They’re $8.75 for 12 at Aldi in CA. Or if you’re a real saver, 60 for under $45!
