    Violence really, really fucking sucks.

    It may be necessary, but if there’s any other option you should look to that first. If it legitimately comes to violence a lot of innocent people are going to suffer in a big way.

      There were other options. I think those other options failed at this point in time.

        His spokesperson in Italy said that he meant to say “I give my heart to you” with that gesture. I mean, dude, just own it up. It’s not like there would have been any repercussion.

        Why haven’t i seen this side by side with Nazis? Or him put in the rally or along side Hitler etc?

        These all seem like simple edits

          Hanlon’s razor dictates that we should not attribute to malice that which can be attributed to incompetence.
          So, by posting this response, you are very, very stupid. You are incompetent of understanding the fundamental difference between the VIDEO of Elon saluting Adolf Hitler, and the IMAGES of all these people waving.
          If you respond to this, you’re showing that you have enough intelligence to understand the difference between Elon’s gesture and a wave, so you’re therefore defending his sieg heil and you remove all doubt that you are a Nazi, and therefore unwelcome here, or anywhere.
          I guess you have a third choice of claiming it was a joke or a shit post or whatever.

      Yeah, I feel like violence is evangelized online in odd ways.

      The class that suffers the most in violent uprisings is the lowest class. By orders of magnitude. For every member of the bourgeois that is taken down, tens or hundred or thousands of every day people are injured or killed.
