Then you have the apologists, especially with Trump, trying to parse his words...

I call it the republican three step:

1) "He never said that! Lying liberal media!"
2) "OK maybe he said that but what he REALLY meant was that he wants a healthy human race. Is that so wrong?"
3) "Biden said it first."

It's a line you've spouted numerous times, and it is no more true now than it was all those other times.

Are you sure you're taking it in the right context? I take it as a threat. Not that ZPN is going to do something, of course, but these people are hoping for bloody tyranny so the people they don't like can get what they deserve,

It's #WhatTheyVotedFor.

They're hoping for their chance.

You know, like Tulsa↱.

Apologist: I don't think that's what he means, though, when he says he's a Nazi. What he means is that he does Nazi things and believes Nazi things, which is somewhat different to, you know, being a Nazi. I mean, he's not wearing the uniform, so he can't be a Nazi.

Exactly. With Musk, pretty much every defense has been that Musk is neurodivergent, and therefore... awkward? Doesn't say and do what he means? What?! In my personal experience, that (neurodivergence) makes one far more likely to say and do exactly what one means, regardless of whether or not it is "appropriate".

Hehe, you people just don't get it, but I certainly wouldn't expect anything less, considering...

If a male, sexually assaulted one of your female family members would you say, "it's ok?"

My take is that ZPN is doing some sort variation of the "angry teenager" persona. The angry teenager would be like, "You just don't GET IT"; whereas ZPN's version is more the teen who truly gets it and is above-it-all--like a kid who just saw The Matrix or something.

If it's done well, it can be pretty funny--like Jon Stewart in the clip below (@ 2.37). ZPN doesn't do it well, and I don't really see the point in doing it all the time.

Hehe, I didn't think you people recognized male and female genders. Or wait, maybe I got that wrong. Maybe it's just two of the hundreds of genders you people recognize? I don't know. I can't keep up with all the new trends you people keep coming up with that defies science.

Ok. So I will ask the question again. Say some guy, with a penis, assaulted your sister, mother, niece, girlfriend or friend.
Would you be ok with it?
Try and stick to the point.
If you want to discuss applied Biology, which I am pretty certain you are completely ignorant on, we can do that.
 
From Time Magazine

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL), an organization whose mission is to combat antisemitism and which describes a “Hitler salute” as one with an “outstretched right arm with the palm down,” posted on X shortly after the incident that the billionaire Trump mega-donor “made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute,” and that “all sides should give one another a bit of grace, perhaps even the benefit of the doubt, and take a breath.”
