I was taught when I was young that you don’t call something that isn’t really genocide genocide, someone that isn’t a nazi a nazi, etc. because it dilutes the meaning of the word. I do think that Israel is committing a genocide, and I do think that Musk is a neo-nazi; I’m not diluting these terms to say this.
He did a sieg heil at a political rally and repeated the word “victory” twice in his speech. Hes spoken at a German far right rally and told them to get over their guilt for the holocaust and to be proud of being German. He signal boosts neo-nazi’s on his social media.
Thing is, awful things are happening so often that people are just getting tired of hearing the word regardless of how serious the issues are, and how much more serious they keep getting.
That’s true. So I think we need to come up with cleverer ways to make people see Musk as a threat. Just because he is a Nazi doesn’t mean pointing at him and crying wolf is the best way to fight.

I would say he’s a fascist rather than a neo-nazi, but that’s very much a distinction without a difference.

He’s a neo-nazi.
He backs the neo-nazi party of Germany and does the Hitler salute as well as Hitler himself. He’s 100% a neo-nazi.
Are you… disagreeing with me? Or are you reaffirming what I’m saying? I am not sure I understand the point of this comment.
They’re agreeing and saying you weren’t as sure of that as you should be.
ah! Thanks for explaining.
Awe, someone is so unused to positive validation that he doesn’t understand agreement.
idk it just was phrased in a disagree-y kinda way. Thought maybe they’d misread.
And calling critisim of israel anti-semetic dilutes the meaning of that word.
Which, funny enough, is exactly what Nazis want.
