>So, be aware: that's the message conveyed to the world at large when it is shown. This has gotten completely insane. If anyone has followed the Tesla/TESLAQ saga, at one point people on Twitter were decorating their avatars with clowns, mocking Elon. Well it turns out, according to the crazy left, that clowns are symbols for Nazism. Did you know that? I didn't. Tesla fans were literally accusing Tesla doubters of being White Supremacists, because clowns.

Because, you disengenous reactionary, people really are using clowns as dog whistles. You should be ashamed of the bad faith trash you typed here.

It's the easiest way to discredit literally any idea or any person. Just mention Nazi Germany or Hitler or SS or anything like that, and you don't need any arguments or anything else afterwards. Note that the person doesn't even have to agree with the politics of National-Socialist Germany or anything close it. Cause now the one attacked has the burden of proof, otherwise s/he'll forever be known as Nazi. In a nutshell, that's it.

>at one point people on Twitter Here's your problem. You're following immature overexcited crazies on twitter and trying to extrapolate to "the world at large". >Well it turns out, according to the crazy left, that clowns are symbols for Nazism. Context matters. Is the "ok hand" gesture a symbol of white supremacy? Plainly not. But when the Christchurch shooter flashed it in court to the cameras, was it then a symbol of white supremacy? Of course it was. Such nuance is lost on some people (or rather it is not lost, and they know full well what they're meaning but fall back on that lame excuse as a cowardly cover). >Tesla fans >Tesla doubters What is this immature, playground-level shit?

  >Here's your problem. You're following immature overexcited crazies on twitter and trying to extrapolate to "the world at large". The same arguments appear on these very forums. Of course, you're probably above it. >Such nuance is lost on some people Once again, the enlightened ones explaining it to us deplorables. I think the nuance is lost on you: the symbol has become an ironic joke for these people. >What is this immature, playground-level shit? Calling people fans and skeptics of a business is "playground-level shit"? Boy, life must be tough when you're intellectually superior to everyone around you.

    Have you got some sort of inferiority complex? Your three replies are all: "what, you think you're better than me?" No, I don't, and I didn't imply that. What's your point? I don't even know how to reply to you... You didn't address any of my points, and tried to paint my reply as claiming I'm superior to you.
