"Musk made the Nazi salute precisely so he could winkingly disavow it—and precisely so that he could force orgs like the ADL to disavow it. ... At bottom the core belief of fascism is the belief that certain people—the volk, the Aryans, the white men—have the right to deference and power. Everyone else—women, Jews, Black people, queer people—have no rights and no standing. ...

"A Nazi salute tells Jews and other marginalized people that they exist only on sufferance. It says their protests will be ignored, and that it is only a matter of time until they are silenced, one way or the other. That’s what Musk conveyed with his salute. And he’s busy making it clear that he knew exactly what he meant."

Meanwhile, someone I know in America and who is heavily into T&M, says that M will save all of them, that M will bring out all lies, and that Europe is racist-ridden and kills jews 🙄 I wonder when their eyes will finally open.

@pascaline I read this kind of rhetoric — the kind you're reporting — and I think of the kinds of things people swallowed about Hitler as a messianic figure, in a period of German history that some people refer to as a period of mass psychosis.

@wdlindsy

It's all so clear, and sad.

And due to social media things are heating up even faster. I really fear the Proud Boys and their ilk will prove to be a force to reckon with, it's a scary thought. But I fear for the lives of those who dare to oppose them. They now have been shown they can do pretty much anything they want, in the holy name of T.
