Elon's "Nazi Salute"

Jesus, these people.

You'd think they might have learned something by getting their asses handed to them by a Z0MG SO FELON!!!111ononeone

Well, these things take time.

I still think they'll take the lesson to at least some extent.

Incidentally, this sort of batshit bullshit is mixed up with the postmodern roots of the politically correct left, and, specifically, the "death of the author" and extreme reader-response views. That's part of the theoretical underpinning for this aspect of their moonbattery.

So:

IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT ELON MEANT NOR HOW THIS WOULD BE INTERPRETED BY AN OBJECTIVE INTERPRETER WHAT MATTERS IS THAT WE INTERPRETED IT AS A HITLER SALUTE!!!!!111ONE

And, of course, since "everything is political," and political commitments can and should guide all thoughts and actions--including interpretations--they have no problem with allowing their hysterical cultish ideology to guide/determine their interpretation.

There's no clear difference to them between:

(a) Actually interpreting the gesture that way because they're fucking nuts

and

(b) Pretending to do so as a political weapon.

I say again:

This is a persistent puzzle about the words and actions of the PC left:

Are they really that crazy, or are they pretending to be for political purposes?

And the answer is usually:

THAT'S EXACTLY THE KIND OF BINARY WE WANT TO DECONSTRUCT, BIGOT!!!!1111one

In fact, in this case, they're sort of right. Most of them seem to exist in a superposition of states, half crazy and half lying.
