| > If you want to make an argument from your book then please do so but linking to it alone is not an argument. From[1]: > "The Doctrine of Fascism" (Italian: "La dottrina del fascismo") is an essay attributed to Benito Mussolini. In truth, the first part of the essay, entitled "Idee Fondamentali" (Italian for 'Fundamental Ideas'), was written by the Italian philosopher Giovanni Gentile, while only the second part "Dottrina politica e sociale" (Italian for 'Political and social doctrine') is the work of Mussolini himself. Please, ignorance is natural, but brazen and wilful ignorance in support of an argument based on nothing but pejorative and performative tribalism is something for Twitter or Reddit, not here. If it were Twitter I’d definitely add a facepalm emoji instead of babying you through this. > The Nazi salutes mean nothing? If we’re referring to Musk then I must say that I don’t agree that it was a Nazi salute. In my country, we grew up with the war as a constant cultural reference so I’ve seen thousands of Nazi salutes, I’ve never seen one like that. Wishful thinking for more fodder for those performative pejoratives does not a Nazi salute make. > The only thing that matters is intention. Let me know when you do the Show HN for your mind reading device. [1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Doctrine_of_Fascism |
Yes, I'm referring to the Nazi salutes he gave. I can't help you see what you refuse to see right in front of you. Even Hitler gave it that way. I grew up in an apartheid conflict zone and have seen this othering before so let's not get into appeals to authority based on our backgrounds.
Calling me a baby is not an argument and I'm not sure that saying "I would totally emoji you but I'm too mature for that" is actually indicative of the maturity you're claiming. I want to point out as well that the tone of the conversation was set by yourself when you started it all with misogynistic accusations of hysteria.
