I am writing this question because Musk did a Nazi salute, and after asking lemmy about it, and seeing the side by side video, and his seemingly mild response to people notixing it, I belive it was a Nazi salute.

So the “now what?” is in response to what seems like a tepid reaction from society.

Will Ameeica become even more unsafe for even more minorities?

Are people organizing or have they lost hope? should there be an organized boycott on Teslas or companies that spend money on twitter? Would it even matter?

Is this unstoppable and it actually makes more sense to flee?

    I second this question. It went from “we should do something about all the greedy billionaires” to “we should eliminate all the greedy billionaires” to “they’re all greedy” to now “let’s lump them and fascists and fascism together” when Luigi’s intent wasn’t actually noble in the first place.

    I’m surprised nobody sees the irony in criticizing one such invocation with another.

      Billionaires fell over themselves to be a part of Trump’s second inauguration. The connection to fascism is right in front of you.

        Billionaires all over the world =/= all billionaires =/= Trump =/= fascist =/= all of Trump’s supporters

        This whole thing on the other end of this debate/ordeal is turning into an embarrassing stretch.

        Some might. All billionaires are different. Brian Thompson himself is actually a good example of this, as he joined the company hoping to improve its relationship with people. It was current events that caused a small number of unfortunate circumstances which led to a guy who wasn’t insured with them in the first place to indiscriminately attack him.

        And that’s Miss Bootlicker to you.

          Does your husband or brother know your on the Internet? /S I couldn’t hear you with that boot in your mouth. Do you have any idea of how much a billion is?

            Yes, a billion is one followed by nine zeroes. Nothing in the number necessitates only theft can achieve it, especially in instances when someone’s living takes place in or deals with the public sector.

            It should be noted the Mangiones were deeper in the wealth game than Thompson. Yet nobody ever hears anyone say they’re guilty of theft. Resorting to jabs like not being able to hear someone over having a boot in their mouth (I encourage getting one’s hearing checked if they hear a boot) in order to support someone from a rich family ending the life of someone of a lesser origin with similar intentions who was given the position second-hand, all ironically in the name of wealth, especially when a lawsuit would’ve done the trick, seems more like the inclination to blind support that Luigi’s critics are accused of.

      You do know that’s not a reliable source, right? Anyone could add an excuse to the list. There’s a button right on the page. It doesn’t ask for evidence to support it, just an opinion.

      And the topic is so incredibly leading that the only reason you’d be on that page is if you’re looking for reasons to support an opinion you already had.
