I don’t give a shit about the derailing. @ScrollWheel
gotta admit that the ADL running defense for this gesture was not on my day 2 bingo card, thought that was gonna be more of a day 1900 thing
Sadly, I’m not even surprised anymore when the ADL looks the other way at stuff like this.
Is “heal turn” one of those quaint Canadian spellings?
I don’t know who is and isn’t an acceptable target. I don’t know the history of Clovis and BG (?), or really most of the history of the posters on this board.
I’m just always surprised at the behavior of grown (mostly) men on an anonymous message board where most of us have similar views.
“heal turn” sounds like it could be the opposite of a heel turn. Like, the bad guy has healed and now he’s on the side of good.
i’m 46, probably have something to lose, but i’m always, 10 times out of 10 smacking someone if they do that around me. consequences be damned.
You’re thinking of when a villain changes their mind and becomes a good guy, its called a phase turn.
couldnt afford to at the time, but if it makes you feel better, this guy has paid for it many times over since
ADL is no longer about anti-semitism, it’s about anti-Zionism. Nazi who supports Israel killing Palestinians = A-OK with them.
And for the record I am a Jew and my wife’s first job was at the ADL. We are in strong agreement that they can get fucked.
I’ve had a lot of disappointment lately with Jewish people not understanding what anti-Semitism is or what “never again” is supposed to mean or at least what I always thought it meant.
they’ve shifted lines from the roman thing to “you gotta watch the context” and the context is supposed to be like, he said “my heart goes out to you” and that gesture was him expressing that, or something something. if you point out that hes a grown ass adult that knows damn well what that means, they’ll blame his “asperger’s” as if those of us that are neurodivergent are too fucking dumb or awkward to understand the implications of that gesture. the mental gymnastics involved here are quite hysterical, I still dont think anyone saying this kind of stuff even believes it themselves, just say what you wanna say, white fragility is absolutely batshit at this point. the richest man in the world is sieg heiling at an inauguration of hitler 2.0 and his stocks went up today, no one’s gonna hurt your fee fee’s anymore about that 14 words breeder shit he and his followers love to spew (except i will do my damndest to try), you won, like what are you even hiding behind anymore?
I have a Facebook friend (wife’s friend, I know her, we used to hang out a little when we lived in a same city) who is rabid pro-Israel, anti-Zionist. She’s so over the top now that she posted that if you’re an American Jew and want to help with the LA wildfires, to find places to donate other than the Red Cross and World Central Kitchen. She didn’t say why, but I’m pretty sure it’s because they helped people in Gaza.
EDIT: Someone asked why and yup, she confirmed it.
His facial expression doing it is like pure rage also.
he even follows it with very similar language to that 14 words crap. its so stupid obvious to anyone paying the slightest attention, it’s made me change my resolve to never having kids to siring as many mixed race children as i possibly can before i get got, my target is at least 11, because that’s how many kids he has. fuckin prick.
this conversation even is indicative of how effective this shit is, they’re gonna counter with “oh well the ADL says its not so you dont believe them?” and it morphs into a complicated discussion about the differences between anti zionism and anti semitism. gross.
I think the correct response is to just not treat Elon in any way as a serious person and to flat-out say “Fuck the security of white people and the future of their children.”. There’s no point in pretending these Nazi weirdos are worth talking to.
“EVERYONE IS HITLER!” says the one person that does the Nazi salute.
The boy who cried wolf story for children was wrong, should’ve been where if you are surrounded by wolves realize, that absolutely nobody gives a shit.
except maybe a few libs on reddit but everyone else is just going to ignore you
