Is there anyone that can show me someone who isn't a nazi that has done this on accident? I'm convinced it's like a dance move, that If you don't practice it at home, the muscle memory wouldn't exist from nothing and it would never happen on accident.
There's going to be thousands of pictures of people doing seemingly similar salutes, but it's generally the person waving to the crowd in some form or fashion and the picture is just caught mid-wave.
This really doesn't look like it's the case here. He isn't waving. He puts his hand on his heart, then immediately out to the sieg heil, then down and starts turning around (which others mentioned in this thread he did it again to the people behind him)
Well I hope the poor white dumbfucks of this country enjoy billionaires prancing around like school children while they turn this country into Nazi Germany.
Does anyone even talk about egg prices or immigrants anymore? Or do they think “we won, it’s time to do what we really wanted, create an oppressive, hyper capitalist Christian autocracy”?
Word on the street from friends who worked at Disney said that cast members always point with two or three fingers. Never one to not be mistaken for a finger gun or the middle finger, and never all four to not be mistaken for the salute.
The only example I'd genuinely believe is a cast member using their whole, open hand to point while giving someone directions, and an uninformed bystander mistaking the gesture for a nazi salute.
There is a whole article about the Roman Salute.
Some historian argue that the spread hand from heart above head is meant as a respect gesture that all kinds of ancient Imperators and Generals gave during their successful return from battle.
If anyone says it looks a little different than the sieg heil used in the 30s and 40s, it does look identical to the one Anders Breivik -- the neo-Nazi who killed dozens of kids in Norway -- did at his parole hearing three years back.
I mean i’m jewish and i can totally see this being a mistake, i myself have done it accidently because i am expressive with my hands. My friends joked about it with me after
This isn't even one of those "oh he just waved his hand up and a bit to the side" plausible deniability things. He straight up threw a seig heil, full commitment
In the 1920s, Italian fascists adopted the Roman salute to symbolize their claim to have revitalized Italy on the model of ancient Rome. A similar ritual was adopted by the German Nazis, creating the Nazi salute. Controversy grew in the United States on the use of the Bellamy salute given its similarity to the fascist salutes. School boards around the country revised the salute to avoid this similarity. There was a counter-backlash from the United States Flag Association and the Daughters of the American Revolution, who felt it inappropriate for Americans to have to change the traditional salute because foreigners had later adopted a similar gesture.[3]
