I am writing this question because Musk did a Nazi salute, and after asking lemmy about it, and seeing the side by side video, and his seemingly mild response to people notixing it, I belive it was a Nazi salute.
So the “now what?” is in response to what seems like a tepid reaction from society.
Will Ameeica become even more unsafe for even more minorities?
Are people organizing or have they lost hope? should there be an organized boycott on Teslas or companies that spend money on twitter? Would it even matter?
Is this unstoppable and it actually makes more sense to flee?
In WW2, the Allies defeated nazi germany by having peace talks, right? Right?
(/s in case the sarcasm isn’t obvious enough 🙄)
It’s a good thing Brian Thompson wasn’t a Nazi then, now isn’t it?
I think killing Elon Musk isn’t going to solve anything but either way I don’t care about calling for violence against him. I only care about making the name Luigi and the game character dog whistles. Let’s not turn random people and the game character into the next Pepe.
Fascists coopting a meme to spread racism and overall bigotry is not at all the same as leftists using Luigi as a dog whistle to signal violence towards oppressors. Its like equating the far right and the far left. The far left want equality for all, and the far right want to fucking commit genocide. They are not equivocal at all.
Bold of people to call Brian Thompson, and by extension anyone who leans politically towards money, oppressors.
In my whole adult life, on either side of the political spectrum, I haven’t seen any major figure in power in the US ever imply anything about wanting to commit genocide.
