I get his point, even if he didn’t state it eloquently. There are photography elements here that look kind of cool. Yeah, most people will focus on memories of history and, you know, how Nazis are fucking bad. But the danger is if something like this recruits anyone. Some people fall for anything with a cool font, even if it tarnishes the font for a lot of others. If I see a swastika, I want to see it carved into a Nazi’s forehead. I don’t want to see a stylized swastika with cool lighting effects that might appeal to a small number of idiots.
It helps that Elon’s face looks particularly stupid.
I don’t know that I agree with his argument, but I can see a grain of truth in it.
“But the danger is if something like this recruits anyone”
What if calling out racists actually encourages people to become racist!! Better not mention racism at alll then amarite…
Also let’s just stop arresting people for crimes completely, what if someone hears that this dude murdered his wife and then everyone starts murdering their wife?
/s obviously but this is what you sound like. You sound like a bot trying to discourage this from being seen by appealing to people’s liberalism…
Whats more black and white than a nazi salute. Whats more black and white than a nazi salute proejcted onto a nazi’s factory, in Germany, by a German activist group.
The statue reads: In honor of the dead, and a reminder to the living. I’ve been to Dachau in front of this very statue. It’s a pretty black and white issue. Saying his salute shouldn’t be shown, and that it might backfire is a stupid point that everyone was going to dislike. Giving him a clown face would alter the photo, taking away from the fact the photo is genuine…

I think it’s fine. I’m just tired of every issue being black and white and the need to shit on everyone who doesn’t see everything exactly your way.
He has a point. I don’t think it outweighs the greater point.
