    Musk is running the U.S. government. Dismissing someone that dangerous as just a troll is a mistake.

      He definitely shouldn’t be dismissed and people are right to be absolutely pissed at the open nazism, but also the sieg heil is an extremely obvious distraction.

        And the collective idiots here are happy to be distracted. I’ve seen at least 15 - 20 posts on All today about this. Ridiculous.

          And yet here you are commenting on it. So what does that make you along with everyone else happy to distract themselves with it?

          (In case you’re having trouble collecting those dots: an idiot as well.)

      There’s a world of difference between “a troll” and “just a troll.” I expect you know that.

      And you’ve evaded my point, so I’ll repeat it, broken down into bite-sized pieces:

      The sieg heil didn’t cause direct and measurable harm in and of itself.

      Meanwhile, there are many things that this administration is actively doing right this moment that are causing and will cause direct and measurable harm.

      Every single bit of energy and attention spent on the sieg heil is energy and attention NOT spent on them.

      That’s not an accident.
