makes sense

Cognitive dissonance, baybee.

It's uncomfy to come to terms with the fact that a Nazi is in an extremely powerful unelected position, so obviously he can't possibly be a Nazi and everything is fine

They're lying. The joke is on you.

"Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past."

Well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Pizzacakecomics is on the frontpage of reddit exactly because it's heavy-handed and only mildly funny. But this is one of those "if Hitler invaded hell I would make at least a favorable reference to the devil" kinda situations, so I give them proper recognition for speaking up.

there’s actually an argument as to whether or not he meant it.

There has been no argument from Musk.

Depends on your goal. Short communications make bigger impacts.

"Oh yeah?! Show me his card as a member of the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei and prove me he was involved in the Holocaust"

"You can't, because he's not a NAZI"

well no he made fun of it on twitter:
“"Frankly, they need better dirty tricks. The 'everyone is Hitler' attack is sooo tired."

it’s pretty absurd that anyone would deny it.

True, but then again it's exactly what you'd expect from them these days. And even if it wasn't – this comic is so darn plump I have a hard time seeing it as satire.

Plus, the creator drawing both caracters as ugly braindead idiots makes up half the 'joke' here. If ones satirical abilities are so non-existant they need to degrade the physical appearance of their opponents (however vile their views and actions may be) in their works, maybe it's just time to give up and do something they don't completely fail at.

True, but that doesn't make this comic – or the others made by the same creator – any better.

Okay, fair. I just wish I could escape them – which is rather hard if the people voting stuff to my Lemmy frontpage have just as poor taste as the average redditor.

He used a joke to deny being Hitler. Not the same.

Says someone who's brain is rotten from the internet. "Nah miss me with those books fam, if you can't say it in one sentence like a viral tweet then I simply can't use my brain."

Awfully brave of them to delete their comment.

I have asked a similar question many times in the past when people excuse such things as jokes:

What is the effective difference between doing a Nazi salute like that "as a joke" and just doing one?

Same thing I ask when people claim they are being racist as a joke.

I feel like have heard more unintentional demonizing of autistic people in the last week in defense of Elon than I have ever heard in my life. And I've heard a lot.

And there is zero indication he has ever actually been evaluated for autism.

I mean I'm not into it, but I would also not call sex between anthropomorphic cartoon characters that take on the qualities of animals the same as animal sex. It's basically mythical creature sex. I mean would it be animal sex if someone was into, for example, centaur sex? Because we're essentially talking about creatures that look somewhat like the animals they are supposed to be, but more more like humans.

I have yet to see a rabbit or a mouse that look especially close to Bugs or Mickey.

Again, not my thing, but I wouldn't classify it in the same category as bestiality and I would guess that a lot of people into that would not be into actual animal sex at all.

I don't know what @ummthatguy said, but I have interacted with them a lot and I really do not think they are a Nazi apologist. Whatever they said probably just came out wrong.

You wrote a lot of words, but your argument is unclear.
