Bellamy salute

I’m a huge history buff so I’m quite familiar with this, but I wonder how many people on this website knew about it.

Well, you most certainly can have racist beliefs and be highly successful in business provided you don’t act on those beliefs. So, in essence, you’d have to be a “crypto-racist.” I am sure that there are people in society who have racist beliefs but don’t act on them because the penalties are so severe. Same with a guy like Musk. Seems to me that Musk’s main goal, like most high-powered industrialists or executives, is to make as much money as possible. That’s kind of hard to do if you’re focused on the race of your prospective clientele.

LOL…you’ve obviously never been to Israel if you think it’s filled with white supremacists. Half the Jews there look no different from the Palestinians and there are plenty of Palestinians who looks as European as anyone on this site.

“Elon is full throated Nazi.”

I’m sorry but that’s just a stupid statement and really shows a tremendous ignorance of what National Socialism entails.

This is the national socialist philosophy summarized in 25 points. You tell me how many you think fit in with today’s political agendas:

1. We demand the unification of all Germans in the Greater Germany on the basis of the right of self-determination of peoples.
2. We demand equality of rights for the German people in respect to the other nations; abrogation of the peace treaties of Versailles and St. Germain.
3. We demand land and territory (colonies) for the sustenance of our people, and colonization for our surplus population.
4. Only a member of the race can be a citizen. A member of the race can only be one who is of German blood, without consideration of creed. Consequently no Jew can be a member of the race.
5. Whoever has no citizenship is to be able to live in Germany only as a guest, and must be under the authority of legislation for foreigners.
6. The right to determine matters concerning administration and law belongs only to the citizen. Therefore we demand that every public office, of any sort whatsoever, whether in the Reich, the county or municipality, be filled only by citizens. We combat the corrupting parliamentary economy, officeholding only according to party inclinations without consideration of character or abilities.
7. We demand that the state be charged first with providing the opportunity for a livelihood and way of life for the citizens. If it is impossible to sustain the total population of the State, then the members of foreign nations (non-citizens) are to be expelled from the Reich.
8. Any further immigration of non-citizens is to be prevented. We demand that all non-Germans, who have immigrated to Germany since the 2 August 1914, be forced immediately to leave the Reich.
9. All citizens must have equal rights and obligations.
10. The first obligation of every citizen must be to work both spiritually and physically. The activity of individuals is not to counteract the interests of the universality, but must have its result within the framework of the whole for the benefit of all Consequently we demand:
11. Abolition of unearned (work and labour) incomes. Breaking of rent-slavery.
12. In consideration of the monstrous sacrifice in property and blood that each war demands of the people personal enrichment through a war must be designated as a crime against the people. Therefore we demand the total confiscation of all war profits.
13. We demand the nationalization of all (previous) associated industries (trusts).
14. We demand a division of profits of all heavy industries.
15. We demand an expansion on a large scale of old age welfare.
16. We demand the creation of a healthy middle class and its conservation, immediate communalization of the great warehouses and their being leased at low cost to small firms, the utmost consideration of all small firms in contracts with the State, county or municipality.
17. We demand a land reform suitable to our needs, provision of a law for the free expropriation of land for the purposes of public utility, abolition of taxes on land and prevention of all speculation in land.
18. We demand struggle without consideration against those whose activity is injurious to the general interest. Common national criminals, usurers, Schieber1 and so forth are to be punished with death, without consideration of confession or race.
19. We demand substitution of a German common law in place of the Roman Law serving a materialistic world-order.
20. The state is to be responsible for a fundamental reconstruction of our whole national education program, to enable every capable and industrious German to obtain higher education and subsequently introduction into leading positions. The plans of instruction of all educational institutions are to conform with the experiences of practical life. The comprehension of the concept of the State must be striven for by the school [Staatsbuergerkunde] as early as the beginning of understanding. We demand the education at the expense of the State of outstanding intellectually gifted children of poor parents without consideration of position or profession.
21. The State is to care for the elevating national health by protecting the mother and child, by outlawing child-labor, by the encouragement of physical fitness, by means of the legal establishment of a gymnastic and sport obligation, by the utmost support of all organizations concerned with the physical instruction of the young.
22. We demand abolition of the mercenary troops and formation of a national army.
23. We demand legal opposition to known lies and their promulgation through the press. In order to enable the provision of a German press, we demand, that a: All writers and employees of the newspapers appearing in the German language be members of the race b: Non-German newspapers be required to have the express permission of the State to be published. They may not be printed in the German language c: Non-Germans are forbidden by law any financial interest in German publications or any influence on them and as punishment for violations the closing of such a publication as well as the immediate expulsion from the Reich of the non-German concerned. Publications which are counter to the general good are to be forbidden. We demand legal prosecution of artistic and literary forms which exert a destructive influence on our national life, and the closure of organizations opposing the above made demands.
24. We demand freedom of religion for all religious denominations within the state so long as they do not endanger its existence or oppose the moral senses of the Germanic race. The Party as such advocates the standpoint of a positive Christianity without binding itself confessionally to any one denomination. It combats the Jewish-materialistic spirit within and around us, and is convinced that a lasting recovery of our nation can only succeed from within on the framework: common utility precedes individual utility.
25. For the execution of all of this we demand the formation of a strong central power in the Reich. Unlimited authority of the central parliament over the whole Reich and its organizations in general. The forming of state and profession chambers for the execution of the laws made by the Reich within the various states of the confederation. The leaders of the Party promise, if necessary by sacrificing their own lives, to support by the execution of the points set forth above without consideration.

To be honest though, Ford’s attitudes towards Jews were pretty mainstream in the USA at the time. That’s one of the reasons why Jews couldn’t hold many professions (one of the reasons why Jews were so prominent in show business since it was open to them) and were denied admission to universities, private clubs, etc…suffice it to say that if Henry Ford were alive today, he probably would be as “woke” as any CEO of any major company today.

Actually he was channeling Julius Caesar saluting his troops just before the invasion of Gaul.

Given the 20th Century’s history, it’s shocking to a lot of Americans that, before WWII, this is how people would pledge allegiance.

Well, I guess what I would say is that once the IRS closes the loophole of having athletic donations count as tax write-offs, then the money will dry up. I for one am, well, I guess I shouldn’t really be shocked, that all of these collectives are, at the moment, considered to be 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organizations. It’s one thing to give money to athletes fully well knowing that you’ll get it back as a tax deduction, it’s quite another to give money to athletes without getting anything tangible in return. That’s truly a fool’s errand. Even the most ardent booster will think twice when he/she knows all they’re doing is p**sing money away on a sport.

As a Miami guy, I’m obviously not a Bills’ fan but I really wish Cole and Dalton nothing but the best come Sunday.

You can just stick to professional sports. I’m leaning in that direction myself.
