    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”.

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 Clearly, he has not, and as such, his license in this Church has been revoked.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

      a nazi salute is pretty much anti-everyone, man.

      First they came for the Communists
      And I did not speak out
      Because I was not a Communist
      
      Then they came for the Socialists
      And I did not speak out
      Because I was not a Socialist
      
      Then they came for the trade unionists
      And I did not speak out
      Because I was not a trade unionist
      
      Then they came for the Jews
      And I did not speak out
      Because I was not a Jew
      
      Then they came for me
      And there was no one left
      To speak out for me

    It’s hilarious to me to see something actually get a priest kicked out of the Catholic church.

    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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

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

      Proverbs 26:18-19

      Like a madman who throws firebrands, arrows, and death,

      Is the man who deceives his neighbor, And says, “I was only joking!”

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