Right-wing extremists are abuzz over Elon Musk giving an awkward straight-armed salute during an inauguration rally for Donald Trump.

          He can. But it’s what makes him relatable. Look at his supporters. If he dressed nicely, he’d look like the “liberal elites”.

        Hugo Boss didnt design them. All Hugo Boss did was use Jewish slave labor in their factory to assemble them.

        The sharp dressing was two SS Officers Walter Heck or something and someone else

        They don’t actually believe in anything, so they can actually be made to believe anything.

        This trope was actually played up in a handful of Wolfenstein games, most notably Return to Castle Wolfenstein in 2001.

        We aren’t, non bigoted dorks are fine. I was part of a weirdo friend group in suburbia as a teenager that had some of the only queer people and black people in town. We were cringe sure, but we came by it honestly and we didn’t go around acting like we were better than everyone else for reasons beyond anyone’s control.

        The thing about nazis is that they’re evil and cringe and that’s a rough fucking combination right there

          Then call him a bigot, not a dork

          Don’t use dork like it’s a pejorative.

          If he happens to be a bigoted gay person, would you think it’s OK to call him “gay” as a pejorative?

        Well, Elon isn’t actually a diagnosed autist. His mother said as much in an interview.
