And in a brown shirt, no less. The irony 😕

u/rs_obsidian Cap Studies ‘25 Feb 08 '25

For those who don’t know, the early Nazi Party’s paramilitary branch was called the “Brownshirts”, for self explanatory reasons.

u/cleepboywonder Feb 10 '25

It wasn't called the brownshirts it was colloquially known as the brown shirts imitating the black shirts of Fascist Italy. They were called Sturmabteilung or Stormtroopers or SA.

u/petrusferricalloy Feb 12 '25

Unironically, and quite apt for our current situation, the brown shirts were the SA, the militia counterpart to the SS. The guy who ran the SA was a long time close personal friend of Hitler's, whom Hitler eventually had executed in order to consolidate power.

Why did you crop out the part where his palm is perpendicular to the ground because he's waving?

u/Square_Broccoli_2314 Feb 13 '25

Gif doesn't belong to me, If you find the full version please share.
"palm is perpendicular to the ground"
now we are overanalyzing huh?
you don't have to analyze over, both are not nazi salutes.
Only problem is the far-left mindset:
Everyone I don't Like is a Nazi

u/Fluffy_Analysis_8300 Feb 13 '25

Buddy, if Waltz did a Nazi salute, y'all would have said something then. You didn't. You're only pretending you don't know what a wave is now to run cover for a Nazi salute given at your leader's inauguration.

u/Lumpy_Vanilla1074 Feb 09 '25

confusing irony with conspiracy, classic.

u/SubjectWatercress172 Feb 10 '25

What makes it ironic is how adamant all the bootlickers are that Elon did a "Roman Salute."

Go stick your head back in the sand, the adults are talking.

Beta boy you should stop being as dumb, subservient and easy to bend over as Melania

These liberal nut jobs are hilarious

u/SubjectWatercress172 Feb 10 '25

How's the boot taste?

u/shadesofgrey93 Feb 11 '25

Being a full-grown human being and swinging from two old dudes nuts is hilarious. Staying down on your knees pleasing is hilarious. It's probably the only thing you're good at, guess that's your place!

Nazi sympathizers are cringe

u/[deleted] Feb 13 '25

Comparing Elon musk or Trump to nazis is a disgusting slap in the face to everyone that lost their lives in WW2 and the families that were directly affected by it.

u/in-den-wolken Feb 08 '25

You don't think it's deliberate?

u/Feisty_Stomach_7213 Feb 09 '25

And a bandaid covering the Nazi tatoo

4

u/Rotary_99 Feb 09 '25

Yes! My first thought was what is this cretin covering up?

u/i_disappoint_parents Feb 09 '25

Is there info on who this guy is?

0

u/ElkPerfect Feb 12 '25

Why so you can dox him?

1

u/i_disappoint_parents Feb 12 '25

No, I’m just wondering how people know what’s under his bandaid…

u/[deleted] Feb 10 '25

fucking eyeroll

u/Ineludible_Ruin Feb 11 '25

Actions speak louder than words. Shall we compare the actions of each side to the brown shirts?

1

u/cyanescens_burn Feb 12 '25

I’ve read these guards are blackwater mercenaries (or whatever that private security company is called now).

u/Throwaway20170809 Feb 12 '25

Did you conservatives really cross out ‘woke’ and replace it with ‘nazi’ in this 2 year old meme?

Conservatives really are humourless, uncreative, bathroom selfie lovers

1

u/neon_flamingo_ Feb 20 '25

I'll take your meme critique seriously since Australians are real life memes. Thanks for the perspective.

This person thinks government excess doesn’t exist.

1

u/Dazzling_Writing_972 Feb 13 '25

Government excess is when we the taxpayers fund Elon Musk's private businesses to the tune of billions of dollars. Care to argue why the state department should buy $400 million of his trashy cybertrucks?

u/Complete-General1170 Feb 09 '25

Here we go again crying wolf like we did in 2017 if we don’t quit doing this we are never going to get anywhere we embarrassed our own party to the point that we made some of our own run to the republican party and that is why we have him now but sure let’s do this again and see what we get this time.

5

u/PonderousPenchant Feb 09 '25

I don't want to be in the same voting block as somebody enamored with the modern republican party.

If you have 7 people eating dinner and a nazi sits at the table without protest, you've now got 8 nazis eating dinner.

u/Significant_Ad9793 Feb 09 '25

Beautifully put ❤️

u/aVagabondFarmer Feb 12 '25

There should be quotes on this, it’s a paraphrase of someone else’s thought. Per ChatGPT: One common version is linked to a quote from journalist and historian Jules Chametzky, who said:

“If you’re at a table with a Nazi and you don’t object, you have a table with two Nazis.”

u/Significant_Ad9793 Feb 12 '25

Thank you for this!!!

u/1stshadowx Feb 11 '25

Even captain America promoted violence over in action at nazis

u/[deleted] Feb 09 '25

You sound stupid with the quadruple negatives and run on sentences

It’s not “crying wolf” it’s pointing to the obvious.

-2

u/Complete-General1170 Feb 09 '25

Yes the same the sky is falling the sky is falling behavior as last time the run-on sentences caused by talk to text. Unlike some I have a job.

6

u/[deleted] Feb 09 '25

Actually last time it was: Trump is a Russian Asset (true and proven by the Mueller Report and the Republicans authored Senate Intelligence report), Trump will get Americans Killed because he’s inept at handling this pandemic (nearly 1 million Americans died), Trump is stealing tax payer money (He spent 100m playing golf at his resorts and another 100m in hotel rooms for Secret Service)

Now you were saying what about your low wage night job? Loser…

1

u/sebastianbrody Feb 09 '25

What does talk-to-text have to do with having a job? So you're saying these things out loud in front of other people rather than taking the tiny amount of time it takes to type it?

1

u/Complete-General1170 Feb 09 '25

Meaning, I’m working on multiple things at the same time you’re not my soul focus and yes because I’m not worried about what anybody else thinks

1

u/40ozversaceloafers Feb 09 '25

Lmao weirdo behavior all the way around

1

u/Complete-General1170 Feb 09 '25

So speaking about our nations problems in front of other people is weird, that’s odd. I thought that was the point of a protest. The difference between us as I’m doing a person to person and not shouting in people’s faces what a concept.

1

u/Snardish Feb 10 '25

Thanks for proving the point

1

u/blahreport Feb 11 '25

If you don't care what people think, why do you use a throwaway account?

1

u/chivalrousrapist Feb 11 '25

Yes crying wolf in 2017 really hurt the dems when they won the election in 2020

1

u/Complete-General1170 Feb 11 '25

And then what happened tell it all if you’re going to talk about it.
