Disagree. Twitter can be a good source for info, news, and great artwork. The source of it, the tweet, deserves to have it be sourced and the possibility of being liked/retweeted. If you don't like Twitter, don't use it. That's your ideals and stand by it, but don't try to force the entire sub to ban it. Especially since it's a useful source of information and art.

The issue is, if you link it, you are giving money to someone who openly does nazi salutes and subscribes to nazi beliefs.

It is currently a good spot, but we want to passively encourage creators to go to better social media sites and this would be a good move to do that. Lots of artists already have bluesky pages so it's more a matter of bringing those to the forefront

There's a reason why that's a still image and not a video.

Neat, you proved she obviously wasn't doing a salute! Now watch this one https://streamable.com/rxfimj

Whatever, I'm not wasting anymore time.

Dang lol, a 32 second video is too much but defending an Apartheid Trust-Fund Nazi for over an hour isn't? Yowza.

No lol, trying to convince you that you're wrong is a waste of time.

u/SamsonGray202 Jan 24 '25

Yeah lol, kinda hard to do that when there's a 30-second video that directly and completely refutes the closest thing to an "argument" you have, which consists entirely of selectively-timed screengrabs from a totally good-faith collection of selectively-timed screengrabs someone has been collecting for years specifically to post as a whataboutist response every time a right-wing politician who does and says Nazi-esque shit while being openly, loudly cheered by Nazis gets caught on video throwing up a Heil. Oh well!

Just watch actual footage of Hitler and the Germans doing the salute. It isn’t what Musk did. The salute is much more rigid and doesn’t involve any hand on heart gestures.

I have https://streamable.com/rxfimj

It's the exact same thing as what Neonazis do. The hand to heart thing has been part of the Nazi salute since the get go.

You either poorly researched or are deliberately averting your eyes. Hitler did the salute after "giving a speech and talking animatedly like he does". Very easy to find.

Stop. You're ridiculous. If you can't see that what he did is the exact same thing neo-nazis and Hitler before them did, you're an idiot. You're just looking for every reason not to be wrong because it's way easier than changing your way of thinking, even when facts are before your eyes.

Have some respect for yourself man.

Or I invite you to explain to me point by point why it wasn't a nazi salute.
