Glenn Fleishman (@glennf.com):

People are saying Musk was wearing a hat with a Nazi typeface on it. He was not. It was worse.

The Germans (and a few other countries) used a blackletter/Gothic style approach to type called Fraktur for centuries even as the Latin style face dominant now took of.


Glenn Fleishman (@glennf.com):

The Nazis initially embraced Fraktur as deeply Aryan until they realized it was hard to distribute their propaganda in Fraktur in other countries. They then decided Fraktur was a Jewish face and banned it in 1941.


Glenn Fleishman (@glennf.com):

Musk's hat uses a spiky Gothic that is Latinxte, not Fraktur.

So Musk is, as one already knows, a poser. In this case, double.

To be truly Nazi, it shouldn't be regular blackletter. But to be authentically so, it should also not be in Fraktur.


Glenn Fleishman (@glennf.com):

Like so many fascist play actors trying to restore a past that never existed, Musk and others can't even represent that history accurately.


Ms. Penny πŸŒ…πŸ§™β™€οΈ Oaken (@skywitches.net):

I strongly suspect β€” given what I know of Musk β€” that he picked it in order to bait "It's a Nazi dogwhistle" reactions, specifically so he can then do the typical Nazi move of saying "Ackshully, it's Olde English Gothic; the libs out here calling [low rider culture or w/ever] Nazi" to his audience


Ms. Penny πŸŒ…πŸ§™β™€οΈ Oaken (@skywitches.net):

The whole "Wink wink nudge nudge" thing.

Ms. Penny πŸŒ…πŸ§™β™€οΈ Oaken (@skywitches.net):

For anyone wondering why the ADL hasn't addressed the open Nazism at the MSG rally, it's simply because the Trump campaign specifically flipped a single bit in the playbook, deploying philosemitism instead of antisemitism.


Ms. Penny πŸŒ…πŸ§™β™€οΈ Oaken (@skywitches.net):

In Β«The Religious Right: The Assault on Tolerance and Pluralism in AmericaΒ», 1994, "an exclusionist religious movement in this country has attempted to restore what it perceives as the ruins of a Christian nation by more closely seeking to unite its version of Christianity with state power."


Ms. Penny πŸŒ…πŸ§™β™€οΈ Oaken (@skywitches.net):

In 2006, the National Director of the ADL, Abraham Foxman, gave a speech, where he identified the players threatening freedom of religion in America, "… They include Focus on the Family, Alliance Defense Fund, The American Family Association and the Family Research Council."


Ms. Penny πŸŒ…πŸ§™β™€οΈ Oaken (@skywitches.net):

In that speech, he named one of the co-founders of the Heritage Foundation, Paul Weyrich, as the architect of this Christian coalition, seeking to turn America into a Christian theocracy.


Ms. Penny πŸŒ…πŸ§™β™€οΈ Oaken (@skywitches.net):

He specified then, 18 years ago, how the Christian theocrats threatened religious freedom in America, & what their strategic issues would be: "… judicial nominations, same-s*x marriage, and faith-based issues".


Ms. Penny πŸŒ…πŸ§™β™€οΈ Oaken (@skywitches.net):

Mr Foxman, in that speech, said,

"There is an open arrogance. The arrogance comes when you believe you have the exclusive truth. And it comes if you believe God has commissioned you to change this country."


Ms. Penny πŸŒ…πŸ§™β™€οΈ Oaken (@skywitches.net):

The ADL has scrubbed this speech from their publications and from their website.

They have joined forces with this coalition of Christian Theocrats, in a bargain to deliver America to Christian theocrats and Israel to Jewish theocrats.


Ms. Penny πŸŒ…πŸ§™β™€οΈ Oaken (@skywitches.net):

They weren't always this way.


Ms. Penny πŸŒ…πŸ§™β™€οΈ Oaken (@skywitches.net):

He closed with this:

"The challenge is before us. We must now take action to ensure that our pluralistic society continues to maintain the ideal of religious tolerance and freedom enshrined in the constitution and tested, successfully, through the generations as a model for all democracies."

On the back of Elon's head, right under his hair line, there's a little label that says "Incel Inside."

Corey Rayburn Yung (@coreyryung.bsky.social):

While everyone is focused on the racism at Trump's Nazi rally, Elon Musk's PAC is doubling down on misogyny.


Seth Cotlar (@sethcotlar.bsky.social):

What are the odds that advertisers keep giving Elon money when he encourages his followers to call the President a "c**t?"

If an 18-Y.O. Trans person breaks out "all men are bad" in the middle of an apparent anxiety hashout, I might personally block the account, but that incident alone isn't enough to list the account on a blocklist.

It's never been more evident this guy watches Hitler speeches and practices the hand gestures in the mirror.

"America is for Americans and Americans only" -- Stephen Miller


Ms. Penny πŸŒ…πŸ§™β™€οΈ Oaken (@skywitches.net):

That right hand was 100% Hitler.

Hitler's left hand would go through the fist, the claw, and the proffer almost exclusively. But the right hand would do the upwards index.


Ms. Penny πŸŒ…πŸ§™β™€οΈ Oaken (@skywitches.net):

And interesting fact - the film we have of them speaking in the early 1930's, Hitler & Goebbels would grip the lectern, most often, because they were speaking to smaller crowds of traditional elites. The gesticulation arose later.
