I thought the biggest PC gaming sub was /r/pcmasterrace ?
Uh-oh, reddit also deleted a top comment for recommending Lemmy - are they Good or Evil? Binary thinker brains asplode!
To be clear: It wasn’t the behavior of X or Musk over the past year that caused this, when he was already clearly being a Nazi pushing Nazi propaganda, it was the Nazi Salute.
I’m glad people are finally blocking X and I’ll take wins where we can get them, but this should have happened a long time ago.
The behavior of X did not change after his salute, it was already operating as a Nazi platform. My opinion of Musk didn’t change after seeing his Nazi salute, I already knew he was a fascist supporting the fascist party. My only surprise was that he was already willing to say it louder for the people in the back that he’s a Nazi.
It’s so frustrating that people are so unwilling to call fascists fascists until they go completely mask off. Musk can exhibit every Nazi behavior and people keep using X no problem, but it’s the fucking salute that gets them to finally block the platform.
So do people hate Nazis because of what they stand for? Or do they just hate the Nazi salute? Because by all available information it’s the salute that might get someone in trouble, all the other behaviors get ignored or excused.
I didn’t think I was still capable of being shocked but the nazi salute at the president’s podium did actually shock me a little. They fuckers are not even trying to pretend any more. I would hope that this shit makes people avoid musk-related products like they’re a rabid rottweiler. I kinda feel bad for people who bought a Tesla years ago though. Also, spaceX has to be a national security issue now.

They’re still trying to pretend:
Alternative explanations for the gesture are plausible. Musk is socially awkward, and he may have been stiffly trying to throw love to the crowd for helping put Trump back in office. “My heart goes out to you,” he said after he did the gesture a second time.
All those “explanations” babbling about Musk’s “intentions”… aaah, when will they cut off the crap???
Like. Let’s pretend for a moment that Musk was totally trying to convey “my heart goes out to you” or crap like that. It doesn’t bloody matter - regardless of his “intentions”, the gesture conveys support to Nazism, and it’s the only sensible way to interpret it within that context.
Rpcgaming is the biggest? Never heard of it
…and what is Reddit?
Reddit had communities dedicated to pedos and an incredibly toxic Trump community long before Twitter started getting a bad rep.
Is that why they started collapsing 90% of the comments? It’s super annoying now having to go through and expand them all.
