Elon can do just about anything and it wont change his success, that's proven to be true time and again. i think its a bad idea for non-Elon people to do that same, when the consequences happen they cant use "elon did it" and avoid issues. he does get away with it partially because he's always trolling and memeing, most people can't get away with that, and we're not close to a society where they can. if we were maybe id see these people as cultural martyrs pushing us into that direction, but reality is we're far off and people are still by-and-large too sensitive.
as to my respect for marxists they also think water is wet and the sky is blue. so i listen then discount about 90-99% of what they say. discounting people because of a label they have to such an extent that we dont even bother to listen is silly to me. its like when people say if u just listen to fox news you'll get brainwashed, same for CNN. i listen to everyone and make up my own mind, not because they told me to do something or else. i know the consequences without being told, im an adult man who grew up watching people suffer them. i say things on d2jsp that id never say in real life, im a pragmatist above anything and wont risk the food on my table for my kids for just about anything i currently see in the american landscape. when they start strapping kids down and injecting sex change hormones into them ill be the first in line to stand up to that. but some teacher saying shit to my kid that i can easily counter at home? annoying sure, not gonna protest about it. "my kid went to colleg and came back a marxist" stories always make me laugh. like did u try talking to them or waiting for them to try and be an adult? they'll come back, hair dye washes out.
There is a very large difference between listening to a person's words and respecting their demands. When your two year old makes the case for why they should be able to eat a 12 piece chicken mcnuggets for breakfast, lunch, AND dinner every single day, you listen. Do you give it to them? Do you respect their demands? Of course not! You listen because you never know, they may make a good point. But in the end, they're just a two year old who wants something they have no right to.
Polite reminder: America won. The Marxists lost. The idea that Americans would respect the demands of the losers who'd waged war against the entire planet is dumb. The idea that a nation that codifies freedom of speech would target edgelords for mocking fallen enemies is equally as stupid. That you claim you must "respect" Marxists at all is stupid. Their ideology is antithetical to American Culture, Law, and Life. Go back and look at the people hand-wringing over Elon's meme. Then do a quick search of their posts. Marxists. You think they mind seeing Nazi symbology? They seem to be cheering it on readily enough when it comes to Asov.
Oh, and the "Hitler Mustache" isn't a Nazi thing. It was the norm, IN THE US, all the way up through Vietnam. Mustaches according to military code could not reach the end of the lip. They could be narrower or wider, but again, it's not a "Hitler Mustache" it was the military norm. The equating of it as a "Nazi thing" was once again pulled off by Marxist, and weak kneed sissiies with smaller dicks than the average clits who claimed to be Americans caved to Marxist demands.
