that is factually inaccurate. A Nazi salute involves a hand at your side immediately raised up to the air, which the motion HArris did by your own Admission. On the other hand Musk first puts his hand across his heart (which is NOT the motion for the nazi salute) before raising it.
Of the two Harris's motion was far more accurate to a Nazi salute than Musks.
To be clear I dont think either of these are intended to be Nazi salutes. But if we are going purely based ont he motions it is harris's that is far closer to a Nazi Salute than Musk's.
Don't beleive me, just pull up a video of literally any nazi salute from the actual Nazi army (I wont link such vile filth myself but you should have no problem finding it),.
@louis Meanwhile even the Jewish representative of the antidefamation league said as questionable musk is his gesture did not appear to represent a Nazi salute.
Think I'm going to take a Jewish expert on identifying Nazis over a random group of arbitrary Nazis with no connection to musk.
@louis I'm sure they got pretty excited when they mistook harrises gesture for a Nazi salute too. Your point?
@realcaseyrollins I agree, the man may be a horrible human being, but most people are, I wouldnt wish harm on him or anyone even if they are horrible people.
Ok so we are all going to agree now whenever we see this gesture it is never socially awkward and always a nazi salute, got it. Will do, so Harris is a Nazi too then right?
"“It seems that [Musk] made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute,”" -- Jewish Anti-defamation league representatives public statement about this incident.
Also Harris for comparison attached (also not a Nazi salute).
I agreed with you, I was more concerned with the fact that you left Biden and Harris off the list, they should be right there at the top.

Nazi salute explicitly does not involve touching of ones chest. So your saying Harris's motion more cloesly resembled the motions of a Nazi salute than Musk, since musk included an american gesture (when made pledging to allegiance)?
Ok, then yea sounds like it was just the FB mistake and had momentarily set it as a spam keyword.
Good to know it wasnt intentional on their part at least.
Thanks for the additional info. Was it to a group or on your own feed? Maybe it was the group admins then that flagged it?
Just posted this on my feed and it was posted with no problems.
It says spam, most likely this poster posted this same message in 20+ different groups and got flagged for spam. Probably has absolutely nothing to do with Pixelfed.
> you say it's "nothing personal" but you're insulting me and my fellow voters and i do take offense with that
No im not. Im insulting an idea you agree with, Insulting ideas **is not** insulting a person. Something americans forgot a long time ago it seems.
Im sorry you feel attacking an idea is the same as attacking a person, but your right, if that is how you feel then its best we end this now, it wont get anywhere.
When your president is willing to mass murder an entire nationality/race of people they are absolutely a danger to the american people. "Sure my friend murders people all the time, but he is safe, he never murdered me". Also those same actions directly put us in the spotlight of attacks and retaliation as we have already seen. It directly puts us all at risk.
> if one incompetent person is far less dangerous to the american public than the other (biden/harris to trump) then i absolutely will vote for them
Thats the point, he isnt "far less dangerous"... at best you can argue he is "marginally less dangerous". They are both ok with genocide of an entire race of people, calling either of them marginally less dangerous is completely inaccurate.
If you dont think the democrats are facists then you have proven my point about americasn voters, this is the sort of nonsense they will say with a straight face.
By the way nothing personal just to be clear, while I think your opinions here are completely absurd I am not one to call a person an idiot just cause they have idiotic opinions. Just as i wont take it personally that you may feel the same about my opinions.
Voting for a incompetent choice when you dont have to and when there is no rason to is not "realistic" in any means. You dont win points for voting in a bad president.
If you think Democrats arent fascists, and that they had actual good plans for improving things then yea i can understand why you voted how you did, but thats exactly why id say "doesnt have a clue" because nothing could be further from the truth. The Democrats consistent support of genocide, censorship and racism demonstrates they are on the same level of fascism as the republicans.
No one wants "perfect", I am not mocking republicans and democrats because they are just shy of "perfect" I mock them because both of them are full on evil, neither even approaches perfect, they are the bottom of the barrel, both of them.
@randahl I'd be too ashamed to show my face in public if i spent that, defeating the purpose.
Agreed, those who didnt vote at all are not helping anyone. The 1% who actually voted 3rd party are the only people who have a clue.
The fact that you voted for one incompetent choice because you didnt like some other incompetent choice, when you had 5 choices all because of some mass hallucination about a 2 party system is sad, and why america never stands a chance, they are just too easily manipulated into mass hallucinations.
That said ill give you points for at least having the good sense to know Biden (and trump) was a shit choice, even if you still voted for him.
I totally agree. Its really hard to take anyone serious who supported Trump, the man is a clown.. Or Biden for that matter, they are both clowns. Its really sad when 99% of you americans support one of those two clowns.
