Current Affairs The Would Be Emperor Has No Clothes (aka POTUS 47)

There's no such thing as a 'Roman salute'.

Elon Musk and the history of the ‘Roman salute’

When Elon Musk performed a gesture that many saw as a fascist gesture, his supporters claimed it was a Roman salute. So what’s the difference?

theconversation.com

Totally irrelevant whether ancient Romans did the salute or not. More relevant is that this 'Roman salute' has been popularized in modern culture, as it has on popular TV shows depicting ancient Rome. Personally, I think Musk was trolling. He is deliberately provocative. He knew what he was doing.

Why are people acting outraged he pardoned the jan 6'rs.

The outrageous thing would have been if he didn't pardon them.

He was the ring leader of jan 6th and instead of going to prison he got elected by popular vote as the president of the United States.

I hate Trump but again, not pardoning them would be insane.

Soooo...the guy knows it's a nazi salute, is regularly promoting and defending far right parties and people who identify as nazis, and you think he is trolling?

The absolute state of you

He also repeatedly said he was going to pardon them. Based on the percentage of people upset about it and the percentage that voted for him, the US has a lot of people incapable of grasping basic reality

Could you please define Woke for me ….. I’m hoping you can as others on here who use the term can’t explain it. Thanks.

For me, woke is a culture focused on social justice, diversity, equity and inclusion. I feel the problem is that it has been weaponized over the past decade to push hidden agendas for political gain. I think it has left a lot of people who fully bought into unsure whether they are coming or going and no longer offers the support it was originally intended for.

P.S. And for the record, I think Musk is a tit.

It was definitely weaponised during the 2024 election by the GOP. They continually made claims that insinuated it was all Harris cared about but she barely mentioned anything 'woke' related other than lets try to be nice to each other for a change. Meanwhile the other side were going full der terk er jerbs. Seems you bought into a bit of it

I always try my best to be a critical thinker. As I said, it has been weaponized and feel it's doing more damage than good.
