    How old is this photo? He definitely didn’t have that hair in the actual clip. Why is this the shot being used instead of one from the actual day of?

    It is very funny that there are so many examples of people basically saying, “It wasn’t a Nazi salute, watch I’ll show you,” and then immediately ruining their lives by doing it.

        I’m sure most of them just believed they could get away with it and then abruptly realized they did not have the same power and influence as the richest man on Earth.

    I do find it crazy that pcgamer is reporting this, because the rest of the news media has just faceplanted on journalism. Reminds me of the Bush Admin, when Rolling Stone Magazine was one of the only reliable sources of news thanks to the extreme corruption within the major publications.

      Over in the UK, this got picked up by the mainstream papers. Maybe he is more well known over here. He is the type to often gets headlines for his outrageous comments.

      Rolling Stone was probably the only source of actual journalism during the Iraq Invasion for a time.

      Oh the memories.

    the fact that two mostly unrelated consequences are tied together with “and” in the title had me laughing

    I mean church in the loosest sense of the word since it was literally only created in 1997 as an offshoot because they didn’t like women becoming ordained.

      Anglican Catholic Church

      The church part of the name isn’t what really gets me. How can a schisim(from the episcopalians) of an offshoot(from the church of England) of a schisim(from the Catholic Church) proclaim itself katholikos (universal).

      Describes a lot of churches origins, many people wanted to move forward and a healthy chunk wanted to go backwards in response.

      No, that’s a church in every sense of the word. That is a normal thing for Christian Churches to do.

    lol! Basically it’s-

    Nazi Sympathizer Does Nazi Salute. Watch It Now On X!

    I’d say you can’t write shit like this… but here we are, reading an article about a Nazi that links to video of the repugnant act- hosted on a Nazi-run social media platform.

    Need more of this. More pointing out the consequences which exist for anyone but the super rich. More pointing out how we are gaslighted to believe “it’s not a Nazi salute”.

    “While we cannot say what was in Mr. Robinson’s heart when he did this, his action appears to have been an attempt to curry favor with certain elements of the American political right by provoking its opposition,” reads a statement posted by the Anglican Catholic Church on Wednesday. “Mr. Robinson had been warned that online trolling and other such actions (whether in service of the left or right) are incompatible with a priestly vocation and was told to desist. Clearly, he has not, and as such, his license in this Church has been revoked. He is no longer serving as a priest in the ACC.”

    It’s hilarious to me to see something actually get a priest kicked out of the Catholic church.

          Not according to the Catholic church. They’re not Anglicans according to the Anglican church either.

            Anglican really just means a version of the Catholic church splintered off by Anglo-Saxons, and Catholic means for everyone, so all their church name really means is a Anglican tradition, or style church for everyone. Thera millions of sects out there that use very similar titles and terminology, it’s not always misleading even if it’s confusing or obscure language.

              Weirdly, it means “universal”. It’s just used as a short for “Roman-Catholic”. The orthodox church is officially the “Orthodox Catholic Church”.

    Awww, people are realizing a Nazi salute has consequences. Good for him!

    Like all billionaires, Elon can (unfortunately) do whatever the fuck he wants and he will be okay. If your boss isn’t fasscy then you’re gonna get wrecked.

    Ah yes. Elon’s salute. The famous salute. Sounds OK to me if it’s just a salute. Is there some simple way to describe this salute, to give the reader an idea if it’s a good or a bad salute? I wonder if there would be a precise description for this salute, my dear journos?

    Ah yes it’s a nazi salute, of course. Easy to forget this adjective, since it’s completely harmless and very mundane.
