Isnt this the wrong community? This is not an onion or onion like article… I know Chaser usually does that, but there are no jokes or lies in there really are there? All those quotes have been said/written by someone.
Yeah, that’s what nottheonion is for.
I love how certain media call it a Roman Salute in an attempt to defend him.
Like, do they think Hitler just made it up himself?
Even if it was a roman salute, that was a symbol of fascism.
He stole it from the Italians under Mussolini, who basically took it from a painting. There’s no evidence the Romans used this salute, so it’s always been associated with fascism.
Unfortunately, evidence isn’t something these folks are worried about.
Their feelings don’t care about facts so to say
In their defense, the party said its most important action item on the talking points memo was not to trust your eyes or your ears any longer.
“Don’t look up!”
I for one am absolutely amused that every reputable news source calls it a nazi-style salute, since Elon couldn’t even get the salute right, despite his best efforts.
It looks like the halfway point between a Nazi salute and a dab
Just an FYI, the real meaning of that salute is the statement, “I’m a kunt!”
This was the image I was thinking of when I first saw him do the thing
It’s really not clear that he isn’t just pointing at something/acknowledging someone with his thumb and the rest of his fingers violently
you really have to write a /s for a lot of these folks to not take everything at face value here it would appear :-/
Subtle sarcasm is really hard for a lot of people who comment in a community focused on satire, ironically.
And when he turned around and pointed violently at the flag in the same style? Does that make it more clear?
It wasn’t completely clear that my comment was pure sarcasm? Seriously?
That’s been the conservative line all day. Repeating a partisan lie word for word is not sarcasm.
Nobody conservative was defending this by saying he was pointing his thumb and the rest of his fingers violently at someone
I’ve found online that /s is almost always needed. May take a bit from the joke but also, clarifies for everyone that you are not actually being an asshole when you can’t visibly roll your eyes and use the proper “sarcasm inflection”
I’ve found that people who can’t detect obvious sarcasm are probably not worth the effort of explaining it
Fair. I’ve spent most my life working with the neurodivergent community, so even IRL I know some very intelligent people need a bit of help with implied meaning. I know I’ve had my fair share of “woosh” moments
Likewise. I appreciate your service
Actually no. Maybe include /s or something?
Who “points their thumb” at someone “violently”? What reality is this
Assuming you’re operating in good faith, just take the feedback and try to learn from it.
Lol. This is a community about satire, right?
Youre talking to people whose country elected trump. Even the bright ones aren’t too bright.
I mean, you’re not wrong.
if I may interject with a suggestion going forwards, I usually add one of these to a comment when I’m being a smartass
for the intellectually challenged
/s
then again you may find it funnier to omit that, I’m not your dad, do what you want.
I really do find it funnier to omit clues to idiots who read my comments
Dude, he was asking sarcastically.
Spare me the sarcasm.
It was abundantly clear to me. Cheers, buddy!
No
Lmao sorry you’re getting downvoted dude. How anyone took this comment, in this community, seriously… is beyond me!
:D
He’s obviously grabbing his love from his heart and throwing it out to all of his supporters. I don’t know how else you could possibly interpret this.
Now that comment felt sarcastic enough to me to need the /s. I’m still betting someone will take it seriously.
Oh wow, that’s even worse than I had guessed. He looks…well exactly like himself, which is to say an over-grown child who thinks being hated for being a nazi is “being a rebel”.
Incredible.
When you caught me fisting your mom did you think I was acknowledging her with my thumb and the rest of my fingers or when I was elbow deep and shouted, “I’m fisting your mom!” in your face was it clear what was actually happening?
Weird.
You shouldn’t have tried that
She loved it
