Let's not jump to conclusions

If he's not from the Nazi region of Germany, he's not real Nazi, he's just a sparkling fascist. 🧐

Enjoying watching animals having sex is beastiality. It is wrong, I agree.

Sorry but, no. Stereotypes are bad.

He's a white supremacist. That's all that matters here.

Coward and a Nazi apologist? Color me surprised.

Imo the rich part matters too

Except South Africa has a specific history where being a white South African, raised in the era in which he was raised, has a very relevant influence on how he sees the world.

Omg, just because he said he's a Nazi doesn't mean he actually is one. You need to remember he's autistic. He's on the spectrum. Are really harassing this poor man on something he can't control?!

WHO is downvoting this??? You're absolutely right!

It matters in the same way that fire can kill you. If you're in a house fire, you died of smoke, not fire. But.....fire can still kill you, and is dangerous.

I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

I mean.....yeah, ok. You're not wrong in adding that one to the pile, but also it's really weird that was your instinctive go-to on this subject.

We're over here talking about genocide, and hate, and war, and death. You're over here like "Hey, don't forget how some people find looney toons sexy!"

Nazi on the spectrum.

I imagine there were a bunch at the camps who loved counting

Guys, guys, guys! You got it all wrong! He was clearly slapping his chest to activate the homing becon to send a request to his home planet, so they can send a UFO to come pick him up! Then he used his arm as an antenna!!!

See? The whole space exploration obsession was just his way of trying to fund a way home.

Where the attitude comes from matters a lot actually. It informs the conversation and gives relevant context that can be used to determine the veracity of the claim that, no he's not just some awkward guy making a weird gesture, he's a fucking rich white South African who grew up believing that some people are more important than others.

Speaking of can't control. There are people with a condition called hemiballismus that have rapid violent outstretching of one arm. Even these people don't look as much like a Nazi as Elon did.

The (white) African I know said that virtually all south Africans they spoke with would be casually racist without a thought about it

Drawings can't hurt you, dawg.

I just love how this whole affair and people* using autism as an apology just makes it seem like autists are all braindead, naive and entirely unaware that the way we behave and ourselves communicates something about us. We might not always know just what it communicates or how we ought to behave to communicate, but I'm pretty sure it I did my best impression of some figure I adore, I'd do it in the full knowledge that it communicates "I like this figure and I wish to be like them".

*not you, I understand your comment to be a parody, but the pattern it parodies obviously exists

I was told the real NAZIs were liberals.
