All Nazi symbols are appropriated 👌
I thought this was exaggerated, but are there any original well-known nazi symbols? The nazi salute is inspired by fascist Italy, the swastika was stolen from a bunch of religions and cultures
lmfao this comment under a literal image of pepe is peek fucking zeitgeist of the age holy shiiiit
If it wasn't for Elongated Muskrat getting high and asking the LLM over and over again for some government department with the acronym of D.O.G.E., he'd be all the R.A.G.E. (Retire All Government Employees - an acronym made by that Yarvin guy).
I'm gonna treat that as a win. I'd rather them co-opt Doge than RAtM.
The pictures aren't the reason, the nazi is.
I mean, I some reason get unreasonably annoyed by the idea that people tie the dog meme into the organization musk chose to use it for. Musks shitty plans... are musk related, blame paypal, or emerald buyers or something else... if the doge meme never existed we'd be dealing with the same shit... just under a different name.
Yeah, it's not the meme's fault it was used by awful people
Same with the swastika and a bunch of other symbols. Yet what can you do
It's bad enough when a meme gets driven into the ground, but it's even worse when it's being driven into the ground by such incredibly shitty and cringey people. It's gross seeing such an iconic image used in association with garbage like "the department of government efficiency".
Musk would call it Beavis and Butt-Head department if Doge doesn't exist.
Such a tiny dog.
Like the Nazi coopted a tiny puppy.
A stupid billionaire is obsessed with an extremely small dog.
Like the Nazi coopted a tiny puppy.
I mean... the last major nazi takeover co-opted a symbol of good fortune, that seems to go back 4000-12000 years.
I would have a genuine murderous vendetta against elon if he did this shit to my pet
