    Well if this person truly believes it wasn’t a Nazi salute, then he’s not lying.

    I believe ghosts aren’t real, but that doesn’t mean I think anyone that has seen a ghost is lying, I truly believe that they think they saw a ghost.

    There’s a huge difference between an objective truth and a widely agreed upon opinion.

      It’s weird that this issue only comes up when it comes to defend nazi shit and not with other things. I’ll give you a specific example: I posted this on r/ShowerThoughts: “Incest is like pissing in your gene pool”. I think it’s pretty good, but mods deleted my post because it goes against community guidelines. If I got into an argument with the mods and got banned from r/ShowerThoughts, I wouldn’t be going around crying about “freedom of speech”, because it’s dumb, and communities have rules.

      These arguments are always about normalizing nazi shit. Fuck that.

        The difference here is that you made a post against community guidelines. Where as in this case the guy seems to have been banned for wrong think.

        I’m not arguing that communities can’t have their own rules.

          Possibly defending Nazis was against community guidelines…? Pretty doublespeak of you to call one example “against guidelines” and the other “wrong think” and I’m sure I know why you do it.

            We’re back to opinion Vs fact, again!

            At the end of the day, until Musk comes out and says, “it was a Nazi salute and I’m a Nazi”, it will be up to opinion and everyone has a right to share their opinion.

            and I’m sure I know why you do it.

            I really don’t appreciate the insinuation but the least you could do is grow a pair, come out and say it.

                If endorsing the freedom of speech makes you alt-right, then I guess I’m alt-right.

      Agreed, that makes him deluded instead. Not many people however are stupid enough to be able to analyse Musk salute and belive it wasn’t a nazi one.

        I’m not getting in to the Musk debate, I’m quite frankly bored of it, just let me know if he does it again.

        I’m only here to defend freedom of speech.

          I’m just here to defend freedom of speech.

          Ensure you understand it first:

          ‘Freedom of speech is the right to seek, receive and impart information and ideas of all kinds, by any means.’

          https://www.amnesty.org.uk/free-speech-freedom-expression-human-right

          Thus my point that freedom of speech is not a freedom to lie or a freedom to spread hate or encourage violence (this is a general point, I am not referring to your views in particular).

            Honestly, that’s very insulting and I don’t appreciate the insinuation. I know very well what the freedom of speech entails and I donate monthly to amnesty international.

              All I would say is that you picked up a very odd example to defend the “freedom of speech”.

                That’s just the thing, freedom of speech is for everyone, not only the people you like and agree with, this conversation has come full circle now.

                    I think the prior comments provide adequate context. I’ve said everything I have to say on the issue and I’m bored now. Have a nice day.
