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.

    Yeah, stop giving Elon a perpetual boner by calling this an "Elon" salute. Give credit where credit is due. Like you could say, I just took a giant Elon and everyone would indeed know what you meant, but you really should just say you took a big shit.

    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.

    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".

    It’s a Inauguration Day nazi salute. Tell it like it is.

    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.

    They were already one half lost if they believed it was innocent in the first place.

    This guy worships the "Turn the other cheek" guy, right?

    The "love your neighbors" guy?

    The "unconditional love" guy?

    Just want to make sure I fully understand.

    "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 Clearly, he has not, and as such, his license in this Church has been revoked.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.

    Wouldn’t “Anglican Catholic Church” mean he’s Catholic? (Genuine question!)

    The "Anglican Catholic Church" is actually not affiliated with either the holy see (the "actual" Roman Catholic Church) or the Anglican Church (as headed by the Archbishop Canterbury and the King of England).

    He joined it because he didn't make the cut to become an actual Anglican Priest because of

    concerns about Robinson's "libertarian anti-woke, anti-identity politics, Covid-sceptical" political views and his use of social media, particularly Twitter, to disseminate them."

    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.

    The irony is, just by looking at him, this is exactly the type of person Hitler wanted to exterminate.

    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.

    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?

    I saw the video of this a little earlier. He smirked with the "My heart goes out to you" part. 🤢

    I heard he almost wasn't confirmed in the church in the first place, but I didn't know about the gaming website editorial staff resigning. Wow.
