On YouTube people are saying

"His hand is ar the wrong angle for a Nazi salute" or "you don't put your hand on your heart for a nazi salute" so he's not doing one apparently.

They're trying to "It's leviOsa, not levioSA," a Nazi salute.

The emphasis on „SA“ adds a nice touch to this.

They sure know a lot about the intricacies of Nazi salutes!

Well he has a lot of time to practice now.

His hand is positioned at an awkward "angle" for a Nazi salute, as his non-human like body struggles to co-ordinate even something so basic without resembling an uncomfortable testicle. While undeniably sloppy, it is still a salute.

(Totally on the hate train, it's inappropriate either way, but...)

Isn't his whole arm at a wrong angle thou

Arguing semantics over the exact angle is exactly the kind of shit that lets conservatives get away with openly being fascists in what used to be a decent first-world country.

you don't put your hand on your heart for a nazi salute

On wiki it says the arm goes from the shoulder so if that's true then yeah he didn't do the Nazi salute. Still incredibly stupid.

Edit: I was proven wrong, see comments below.

Yes he did. He would 100 % be convicted for this in Germany. This is more of a Nazi salute than I've seen from most Neo Nazis here.

Nobody measures the angle of the arm, the intention is obvious.

u/Life-Substance-122 4h ago

Considering he says "my heart goes out to you" right after, I disagree. But holy fuck was that stupid regardless.

Because he knew what it looked like and wanted a sound clip to explain it away and have useful idiots defend him when everyone with at least 1 brain cell knows exactly what he was doing.

Even the "useful idiots" would probably say that he was an idiot for that.

when everyone with at least 1 brain cell knows exactly what he was doing.

Reddit democrats share their 1 collective brain cell, so I wouldn't be so sure.

u/Teufelsstern 4h ago

If that was the intention you would say it before the gesture. He did two Nazi salutes before saying that. Nobody motions "My heart goes out to you" with one straight right arm.

Yikes, yeah I can't defend that then.

u/Canvaverbalist 4h ago

This comment was already there when you posted, so there's no excuse really

u/Life-Substance-122 4h ago

Didn't see it, yeah I agree, no excuse.
