minus-squareFlying Squid@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up27·10 days agoI 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.
minus-squareInputZero@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up10·10 days agoThe difference between the public and private spheres. There is absolutely no way to make a Nazi salute jokes in public spheres, full stop. In the private sphere I can imagine it.

minus-squarebestboyfriendintheworld@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4arrow-down1·10 days ago What is the effective difference between doing a Nazi salute like that “as a joke” and just doing one? Plausible deniability. Pushing a boundary instead of breaking a taboo.
minus-squareFlying Squid@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up8·10 days agoThat is not an effective difference, that’s an excuse.
minus-squareVespair@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up5·10 days agoCorrect, but so long as people keep favoring decorum over decency, it doesn’t matter.

minus-squareHikingVet@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up1·6 days agoOh, you didn’t see that? Go do a search. Musk is a fascist and saying otherwise is just running interference.
minus-squareEpicmulch@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down1·6 days agoAre you mistaking my comment for someone else? When did I ever defend him or say anything good about him.
minus-squareHikingVet@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down1·6 days agoSaying it was a joke to piss woke people off is defending, deflecting and otherwise making excuses for the fascist.

Correct, but so long as people keep favoring decorum over decency, it doesn’t matter.

An excuse is all it is
