Summary
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticized Elon Musk after he made a gesture during Trump’s inauguration resembling a Nazi salute.
Musk and his allies dismissed the comparison, calling such accusations exaggerated.
Ocasio-Cortez, however, called the gesture unacceptable, emphasizing America’s history of opposing Nazis and the Confederacy.
She also condemned the Anti-Defamation League for defending Musk, accusing it of losing credibility.
Her comments sparked broader debate on symbols, gestures, and their implications amid Trump’s return to office.

Bioshock Infinite vibes.
That game was such a brutal critique of American nationalism and Christianity’s role in it that of course the right loved it for the aesthetic alone

Honestly. I was so excited when I started that game. Huge fumble on the takeaway.
That was before WW2, no less. Funny how after all that happened, people saw that and went, “Yeah that was a good idea.”
