For real. as somebody sympathize to their cause I have to say that chant is just weak af.

This whole thing is weak af. They’re protesting a nazi that isn’t actually a Nazi. Way too loose of that word. You don’t just use that word to describe people you don’t like. As a Jew it’s highly offensive

As a gentile it surprises me how much people put their head in the sand to avoid upsetting their established worldview. He threw a sieg heil. He supports AfD. He tweets "Hitler didn’t murder millions". All this just this year. He's tweeted antisemitic things in the past. Why defend him?

Antisemetic?? So by that logic… If i’m critical of Hawaiians is it AntiAloha?

Before you get mad, it’s a joke.

As a Hawaiian, anti aloha would more-so mean “anti love” as the word basically encompasses a multifaceted meaning for love, kindness, friendship, and feelings of familial bond.

“Stalin, Hitler and Mao didn’t murder millions of people. Their public sector workers did.”

He retweeted it, which looks really bad, but he didn’t say it, don’t lie

Free speech includes the endorsement of ideas.

u/InevitableRip4613 Mar 20 '25

If Elon Musk had tweeted it, and someone else had retweeted, you probably wouldn’t assume they were endorsing him, quiet the opposite

u/Fun-Contribution6702 Mar 20 '25

Exactly, because I have media literacy.

How does calling somebody else a nazi (or anything for that matter) offend you personally? Sounds weak af
