    Surely them doing the Nazis salute counts as cultural appropriation. The right-wing German should be complaining about it. They need to come up with their own salutes

        AFAIK it was a reference to the “Italian Salute”, aka Mussolini, the coiner of the term fascism… So not really all that much better…

      Somebody should tell him that if he’s going to be a Nazi then he needs to have acquire a snazzy sense of style. He looks like a random old man down the sports bar.

    So a little history the swastika was appropriated from earlier civilizations the nazi salute was half of the roman legions salute so that was appropriated as well. So maybe the So called nazi salutes are the people appropriating half of the Roman legions salute. Either way it’s all a stretch to call these a nazi salute. It seems that many liberals want to equate conservative as nazi’s which is really funny to me. It’s the democrat leadership with thier socialist ideals that are closer to democratic socialism that the republican leadership. So instead of talking about the differences between the Republicans and the democrats maybe both of your parties should focus on what you have in common. Then the differences will seem less important. Bit that’s just my opinion that means nothing to anyone but me.

        I have said this stuff in public you know what happens nothing, ok the young people will uell at me and the boomers will agree with me. But that will be about it. You see I don’t live in a large city I live in the Midwest where most people who see things like this laugh at the people screaming nazi and move on. They see this as a sad attempt to denigrate the republican party, who are just as stupid.

    Bannon is white fucking trash anyway. Not just saying that because he looks like human excrement but because he has the personality of a roasted maggot.

    Flabby white guys barely able to raise their arms.

    Bannon’s not used to lifting his hand past his juandice tinged liver lips.

    Elon so fucking out of shape he actually gasped for air and grunted.
