I can't believe this fucker got away with this. It's just forgotten, not to mention all the media and celebrities that defended him saying it wasn't a Nazi salute.

He knew what he was doing. He's a fucking childish edgelord, did it on purpose knowing he could get away with it. And he was right.

I hope he dies in a Tesla car fire.

Even the defence is bullshit. The „Roman salute“ was invented for a film and almost immediately adopted by Italian fascists. The Nazis copied it from them.

So, it is a „Roman Salute“. Because that‘s exactly the same thing as a Nazi salute.

Maybe he means that he admires Mussolini more than Hitler?

Imo, there’s no such thing as “pretending to be a Nazi long-term”. If you’re repeatedly okay with saying racist things or forgiving the crimes of Hitler, even as a “joke”, you just are a Nazi.

Him dying in a Tesla fire, early, would be a glorious and fitting end.
