One of the most damning videos I've seen about this. Just reply with this when you come across someone trying to defend this PoS. Fuck this sub-human scumbag.

For those saying it wasn't real since he went off to the side instead of straight out.

He did it to the side because old out of shape people have trouble lifting their hands above their head so he needed to tilt his body to get the proper angle.

This is what irrationally annoys me. I could take a Nazi seriously (but still hate them, obviously) that does the salute "properly", but his face, the exaggerated chest clutch, the way he tilts his body... The militaristic firmness of the salute is part of the presentation as strong, but his imitation of it is so pathetic and weak that the only thing he has in common with the guy he's trying to copy is the massively overinflated ego.

I hate what he stands for, but I also hate that I can't take him as seriously as I probably should.

"Built like an autopsy" still rings in my head every time I see Elon anywhere. "Apartheid Clyde" is a close second.

Musk or Hitler?

[–] underisk@lemmy.ml 7 points 4 days ago

Probably both, but I meant Musk.

I hate that we even need to think about if it was straight out or from the side. Like, don't fucking do the arm out at an angle thing at all. Anything that's ambiguous should be dropped from common practice.

Someone should make a collection of all of these.
