You might have seen a clip of President Joe Biden “shaking hands” with thin air. It never happened. Here’s the truth, as well as how misinformers manufacture and embellish embarrassing presidential moments:

This is like how I imagined life in the USSR was when I was a kid.

People forget the USSR mostly did away with the heavy-handed mass murder shit by the 60s. The late USSR was like above: pathetic party members churning out talking points nobody believed. In fact, a true believer once took the helm and started enforcing the rights in the Soviet constitution. His name was Gorbachev and the system collapsed almost immediately.

Gorbachev was kind of based

Nah Gorby did give a shit, that was his blessing and a curse. For example, the Soviet constitution said that constituent republics had the right to secede. Everyone knew this was a funny joke — everyone except ol' Gorby, the True Believer, and the madman actually let the republics secede.

this is one of Alexei Yurchak's theses. It goes along with the USSR's performative shift and gerontocracy, both of which have become reality in the USA since the 2010s.
As always you should take it with a grain of salt, but it's still interesting.

What a terrible cover story even if you believe it. Who the frick ends a speech, turns around and points at one narrow section of the audience. Who the frick points at the audience after finishing a speech, at all?
Not to mention that, if you watch the video embedded in the article, Biden turns to the right, "points" at the audience there, turns another 30 degrees, "points" at the audience here, then stops for a moment, waves briefly, and seem to move his hand to his chest before the video cuts off. It looks weird as heck even if you accept the premise that Biden points like an r-slur.

Politicians typically don't point with a single finger. Focus groups or whatever say it comes off bad.

He points with one finger shortly before finishing the speech, though.

You will never be a real jannie. You have no presence, you have experience, you have no reason to be one. You are a homosexual man twisted by hunger for power and stupid minimodding into a crude mockery of internet's scum.
All the “validation” you get is two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back people mock you. The admins are disgusted and ashamed of you, your “fellow users” laugh at your awkward attempts at minimodding behind closed doors.
Normal users are utterly repulsed by you. Decades of evolution in Reddit's ecosystem have allowed Drama users to sniff out frauds with incredible efficiency. Even wannabe jannies who “pass” look awkward and disgusting to a user. Your message structure is a dead giveaway. And even if you manage to get a drunk admin to give you powers, he’ll turn tail and demote you the second he gets a whiff of your mentally ill, power-hungry mind.
You will never be happy. You wrench out a fake smile every single morning and tell yourself it’s going to be ok, but deep inside you feel the depression creeping up like a weed, ready to crush you under the unbearable weight.
Eventually it’ll be too much to bear - you’ll opt out of nitro, delete your Groomercord account, stop boosting the server and leave. The admins will find you, heartbroken but relieved that they no longer have to live with the unbearable shame and disappointment. Your messages will remain as you will fade from memory, and every passerby who uses the search function and comes across your pathetic minimodding messages for the rest of eternity will know a wannabe jannie is buried there. Your presence will decay and go back to the dust, and all that will remain of your legacy is a user who's undoubtedly not a moderator
This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning back.

Camera pans out, he gestures (politicians stopped pointing years ago) directly to a group of thr audience who then stands up. Then he works the other side.
Or not, he imagined someone there, motionlessly shook hands, then imagined them disappearing. Lol.

As a specialist in the rapidly growing field of Fake News, I try to fact-check anything the media tells me that confirms my own biases too heavily. I'm a conservative so it would be tempting to believe that Biden is just a doddering old man teetering on the edge of senility... which is exactly why I'm skeptical. It's so easy to churn out Deepfakes nowadays, and gullible people just believe anything that they see without even questioning it. This is exactly how the Leftoids were dumb enough to underestimate Donald Trump, on not one but multiple occasions. If you think your opponent is stupid, take a step back and consider whether the reason you think that is because you want it to be true.

Of course he didn't shake hands with the air, he was shaking hands with President FDR. I don't understand what is so controversial about saying hi to a president who died in 1945. One old Mayo saying hi to the other.
