Yes but I’m saying what if Musk did that.

No it’s not that one, which was an obvious crop job. Another guy found it in one of the other comments. Again, it’s not that I’m saying that AOC did the salute, just that what if Elon did the same exact thing? It’s a double standard because he would be treated differently for it because of all the other context. But my point is that it’s not unreasonable for there to be a double standard given the context of who did it.

Ok… Did you see the AOC video though? Imagine Elon doing that and tell me what you would think about it. It would look a lot different coming from him, and that’s my point.

Yeah but imagine Musk doing that exact thing. I’m pretty sure it would hit a lot different.

You totally missed the point…

Straw man? I don’t think you understood the point I was making…

Yeah that’s my point. It has a lot more credibility as an accusation against Musk compared to when AOC did something very similar. Because nobody thinks AOC is a Nazi. It’s a bit of a double standard, but so what?

This is what I’m referring to. If you can find the video it really does look like a nazi salute, but nobody actually thinks that it is, in any way: https://x.com/APTeacher1754/status/1882043612122497239/photo/1

Yeah but if AOC makes a gesture that looks a lot like a nazi salute, nobody cares about it. It’s a double standard, but nobody actually thinks AOC is a nazi or was trying to evoke nazi imagery. Double standards aren’t always automatically bad or wrong. They need to be considered in the context of the person and what they stand for.

It’s either the power mods or the admins who decide how content gets censored on reddit. Which one is worse?

It’s more of an assassination in my opinion.
