Even the fucking RN knows this isn’t a good look.

    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.

      I really hope you’re wrong, but think you’re probably right… that we’re going to keep seeing more of this.

    If he’s that worried about it and wets himself like a little child, then he is unworthy and will never lead France,” Bannon said.

    You know, it’s not a productive thing to insult the guys you want to get on your side. Rookie mistake.

      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.

      Not too Nazi for Russian Nazis. Actually, the more Nazi the US gets, the better diplomatic relations between the US and Russia get.

        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 Republican Party, which seems to be the most right-wing party of any democracy in the world.

          Good news: that’s no longer the case.

          Bad news: it isn’t because the Republican Party got less right-wing; it’s because the United States is no longer a democracy.

    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.
