Isnt this the wrong community? This is not an onion or onion like article... I know Chaser usually does that, but there are no jokes or lies in there really are there? All those quotes have been said/written by someone.

It's really not clear that he isn't just pointing at something/acknowledging someone with his thumb and the rest of his fingers violently

Lmao sorry you're getting downvoted dude. How anyone took this comment, in this community, seriously... is beyond me!

He's obviously grabbing his love from his heart and throwing it out to all of his supporters. I don't know how else you could possibly interpret this.

you really have to write a /s for a lot of these folks to not take everything at face value here it would appear :-/

Might be because people are actually making this argument in defense of musk

Subtle sarcasm is really hard for a lot of people who comment in a community focused on satire, ironically.

In their defense, the party said its most important action item on the talking points memo was not to trust your eyes or your ears any longer.

"Don't look up!"

Just an FYI, the real meaning of that salute is the statement, "I'm a kunt!"

[–] laurelraven@lemmy.zip 12 points 2 months ago

This is barely even satire at this point

I love how certain media call it a Roman Salute in an attempt to defend him.

Like, do they think Hitler just made it up himself?

[–] jonne@infosec.pub 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

He stole it from the Italians under Mussolini, who basically took it from a painting. There's no evidence the Romans used this salute, so it's always been associated with fascism.

Unfortunately, evidence isn't something these folks are worried about.

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Even if it was a roman salute, that was a symbol of fascism.

That's what I'm saying, it takes literally four seconds to look up where the "Roman" salute came from.

But these kids aren't big on the whole "reading" thing.
