I believe you are genuinely concerned and do not want war. If you truly care about fighting Nazi ideology, then you should also take my position seriously.

PLEASE - HEAR ME OUT

I believe finding truth is an urgent issue and we need to aim for consistency and learning. You’ve justified Russia’s actions in Ukraine as a fight against Nazism and even labeled Zelenski as a Nazi, yet you refuse to acknowledge the severity of Musk’s Sieg Heil Nazi salute.

Its been many weeks since the salute.
It shouldn’t take this long to figure out if a Nazi salute is bad or good.

I believe Musk’s Nazi salute is unquestionably and absolutely unacceptable and dangerous. (MY CLAIM)

I’ve pointed you to better sources of information, urged you to verify the facts, showed you new tools for learning, encouraged and offered to set up a computer for you, and repeated my points many many times. Yet none of my concerns have been directly addressed. Instead of addressing this directly, you are still searching for reasons to downplay my concerns or beliefs.

I have presented you with opinions and substantial evidence.

You have presented me with denialism – the same behavior that has defined my struggles with my family – the same denialism I see as the reason my mom struggles with mental-health and homelessness- the same reason i stopped talking to my family – and the same reason I see society headed in a bad direction. Its a big deal! 

  1. Musk’s Sieg Heil Nazi salute must be condemned—it is unjustifiable, extremely dangerous, and demands urgent attention.

  2. Musk   is extremely dangerous, untrustworthy, and a conman.

  3. Trump is extremely dangerous, untrustworthy, and a conman.

  4. Tariffs are universally considered very stupid by experts. To not immediately dismiss the idea, require significant justification – and we had none. 

  5. The claim that Russia entered Ukraine to fight Nazis, and I cannot find any and you still haven’t presented me with much. 

~ Respond with one clear, focused question ~
~ or
~ Present a single, evidence-backed counterpoint ~

I require accountability in our conversation. I am committed to moving beyond feelings and instincts. I need honest, fact-based dialogue with accountability. IF you assert that certain actions are justified—THEN you need to support those claims with clear, evidence-based arguments that directly address the claim I made.

Until you can offer a specific, verifiable counterpoint to at least one of my 5 claims, I’m not interested in continuing this conversation. If we’re to be friends, let’s start by addressing at least one of these five claims. Please prepare -(either one clear and focused question) or present -(a clear and evidence-backed counterpoint that can be discussed) and we can investigate together after having coffee.
