    If you perform a Nazi salute, you’re a Nazi.

    Musk performed TWO Nazi salutes on national television during a presidential inauguration.

    Musk owns X.

    Anymore questions? Do I need to illustrate with crayons?

      Some would say a Roman salute 🫡 So anything else substantial? That can’t be interpreted as something else?

        Italian here, Roman actually.

        The Roman salute has not origin in ancient history.

        It was formalized by Gabriele D’Annunzio, a sick fascist poet and writer, as a salute for his proto-fascist troops with which he occupied Fiume in modern-day Croatia, having been inspired this painting.

        So yea, the roman salute is a fascist salute, invented by a fascist, for a fascist occurrence and to call it roman is a disservice to Rome and history in general.
