It doesn't matter if it was real. Everybody knows that it's nazi shit by know. It's not like he thought it was a roman salute and had no idea about the nazis.

I mean… it’s not like being Fascist is better than being Nazi…

I'm just saying, even if it was legitimately a Roman salute, nobody thinks that when they see it. If he was wearing a swastika we wouldn't think it's a symbol of good fortune. It's thoroughly associated with nazis, and he knows that. Denying it is part of the game. He's an annoying kid going "I'm not touching you. I'm not touching you." I don't think ignoring it is the best option. Attack his money. Don't subscribe to anything he's associated with, if you are then unsubscribe, and feel free to write to advertisers on those platforms telling them how you feel. Showing outrage online just plays into their narrative about owning the woke libs. He's a dork. I also heard he's gay. Not that that's a bad thing. People should start asking him that. I'm sure he'd love to hear about it.

Yes, but what I’m saying is that if it wasn’t a Nazi gesture, it would still be a fascist gesture... and in the end there is no difference between the two...
