I feel like "noo it wasn't a Nazi salute, or uh, it wasn't intentional" is more of a "right of center" response instead of a "center" response, and "Elon Musk just did a Nazi salute on live TV" is closer to center, but otherwise this seems accurate.
Maybe the Overton window has shifted so far right that I'm wrong about that, though.
The problem is that America has no mainstream centrist or leftist media. It's either center-right or far-right. The closest we get to a progressive are comics like John Stewart and John Oliver.
None of the mainstream media wanted to call it out for what it was. They profess to be centrist, but you could indeed probably classify them as centre right, especially when it comes to economic issues.
On this case, the “noo it wasn’t a Nazi salute, or uh, it wasn’t intentional” is a "nazis paid me to say this" response. At best it's "I haven't seen it, and I don't trust you" answer.
But well, the people criticizing "centrists" are usually on that later category, and usually for good reason, so their experience may be biased.
No one does that on accident. This will be far worse than most expect
Shift that center to the right a little more. I think the true center would say something like “Why are we still talking about Elon Musk?”
And what do we do with nazis?
Shoot them on sight, they're enemy combatants 😏
Punch them in the face.
That is a lot milder than what I was taught.
It's much easier if you remove the face first.
But you do realize they didn't celebrate "not getting banned by court" with their small group of a few lads but winning presidency with likely a sizable chunk of voters fully supporting them in even their more crude views?
Time to buy more Dodge Monacos.
Is Saturday Night Live on this weekend? I hope they open with Musk the night before, practicing in front of a mirror. "First I'm gonna sieg heil, then twirl, then sieg heil again, then recite the Fourteen Words. No... maybe just salute, then do a HALF turn, then only HINT at the 14 words... People will get it!"
I hope they just completely recreate one of Hitler's speeches but with Elon instead.
Or better yet, that video of Hitler watching the Olympics while completely tweaked out
Yes, with host Timothée Chalamet. Interesting that space hitler is hosting snl after Musk did this.
It would be awesome if they did something with this. But their corporate owners will doubtlessly forbid it.
I hate that this is a meme.
When you make a Nazi salute and you're an average person making less than $60,000 a year and barely making ends meet .... you are a right wing extremist Nazi that is hated by the general public.
When you make a Nazi salute and you control over $400 billion ... there is cause for debate and questions about whether or not it was a Nazi salute
No one on the left is crestfallen or surprised or whatever that wojak means that an oligarch is also a fascist. Or that a racist dipshit who praised the nazi party like last week happens to be a nazi.
"My heart goes out to you" - Troglodyte response.
Exactly.
Almost like that's the point.
That is an accurate representation of what is happening. Kudos to whoever made this.
I know you people hate the centre, but thats a pretty far right Portrait of the centre
What would you call news outlets like the New York Times?
Idk, I'm not american
Edit: but if they defended the "he didn't mean to do that" stance, then they are far closer to the right than they think
