"Those who mimic the Nazi salute, even as a joke or an attempt to troll their opponents, trivialize the horror of the Holocaust," said the Anglican Catholic Church.

      You’re clearly trying to paint Elon in a bad light! Why did you leave out the footage of the Romans doing it huh?

      Obviously they’re both doing a Roman Salute!

      (Doesn’t even need a /s because the Nazi salute is literally the so-called Roman Salute)

        It’s just the nazi fascist salute. There’s no evidence that ancient greeks or romans ever did this.

          From what I read it’s a copy of what Mussolini thought was a Roman Salute, which was just something he got from a painting which was not at all Historically accurate, so it wasn’t actually a salute that the Ancient Romans did.

          (I suspect that in Mussolini’s time some people born and living in the city of Rome did that salute, so strictly speaking it could be called a Roman Salute 😜)

          However many call it a Roman Salute because that’s what the Fascists thought it was, hence one could say that the Nazi Salute is also called a Roman Salute.
