Fuck Russia. They are nothing special any more. I remember when they used to be scary, but they can't beat Ukraine. Bunch of fucking losers. The govt I mean. I have no issue with Russian people. Except the ones that support their govt. but I don't even like Americans who support my govt.
They're quoting Bardella directly, which kinda makes sense for the headline, but yeah, I haven't seen any mayor English media sources that are willing to call a cat a cat here.
Might be worried about libel suits? Though I can't see an unbiased court deny that those are Hitler salutes.
Yeah, Americans don't seem to get that. Biden and the Dems we'd consider right as well, just not anywhere near as extreme as the Republican Party, which seems to be the most right-wing party of any democracy in the world.
the thing about nazis is they are nazis because they can't get along with others and then they blame everyone else who doesn't look like them for their lack of social skills. One of the most remarkable things about bannon, musk or stephen miller is how miserable they remain even when they feel they are winning.
If they were worried about it, they'd stop doing it.
More and more people are going to be doing this and excusing it in an effort to normalize nazi and facist symbolism.
It's not really up to us (non-US) citizens to point this out or act on it, since we have little influence, it's up to the citizens of the USA to do something about it.
This might be a hot take but Bannon did not do a Nazi salute. Musk definitely did. Although, Bannon is a Nazi so I guess whatever salutes he does do are Nazi salutes by definition.
This is why things like the holocaust have happened and will continue to happen. For as long as we argue semantics describing clearly problematic behavior.
Well I've seen a number of waves in my time, and none of them had an arm stretched at that angle, palm down, wrist straight. Most people wave with their elbow or wrist, with the palm facing the people they're waving at.
