So a little history the swastika was appropriated from earlier civilizations the nazi salute was half of the roman legions salute so that was appropriated as well. So maybe the So called nazi salutes are the people appropriating half of the Roman legions salute. Either way it’s all a stretch to call these a nazi salute. It seems that many liberals want to equate conservative as nazi’s which is really funny to me. It’s the democrat leadership with thier socialist ideals that are closer to democratic socialism that the republican leadership. So instead of talking about the differences between the Republicans and the democrats maybe both of your parties should focus on what you have in common. Then the differences will seem less important. Bit that’s just my opinion that means nothing to anyone but me.
It’s true that symbols and gestures can have historical origins that predate their modern meanings. However, intent and context always matter. The Nazi salute, whether or not it had roots in an earlier Roman gesture, is now overwhelmingly associated with fascism, white supremacy, and authoritarianism. When a public figure—especially a political leader—uses a gesture that resembles it, people have every reason to question why.
Dismissing those concerns as “a stretch” ignores the reality that optics matter in politics. If a leader doesn’t want to be associated with fascist imagery, they have a responsibility to be mindful of what they do. The burden isn’t on the public to assume good intentions—it’s on the leader to avoid any association with dangerous ideologies.
As for the claim that Democrats are “closer to democratic socialism” and thus closer to Nazis, that’s a misreading of political history. The Nazis were far-right ultranationalists who used state control to consolidate power, suppress opposition, and enforce racial supremacy. Democratic socialism, on the other hand, is about expanding worker protections and social welfare within a democratic system—not authoritarian rule.
Finally, while I agree that finding common ground is valuable, pretending that ideological divides are just trivial differences overlooks the very real stakes involved. Not all disagreements are just about policy—they’re about fundamental values, including democracy itself. If one side is leaning into authoritarianism, that’s not a “both sides” issue. It’s a problem that needs to be called out.
I have said this stuff in public you know what happens nothing, ok the young people will uell at me and the boomers will agree with me. But that will be about it. You see I don’t live in a large city I live in the Midwest where most people who see things like this laugh at the people screaming nazi and move on. They see this as a sad attempt to denigrate the republican party, who are just as stupid.
You ever wonder why people who serve in congress or the senate always return rich with a life pension and better Healthcare than any normal person can afford. You ever wonder why it’s both the Republican and Democrat leadership get ro vote on thier own raises. Have you ever wondered why there is so much over reach from the federal government as a whole. As to my last post you can see american Indian blankets and many other races who have the “swastika” in thier architecture. Just do a Google search on that. I am just shaking my head and how butt hurt people get from a little bit of history thrown out. I called it appropriation didn’t I? Sigh live long and prosper
Yeah they’re not using swastikas and fascist salutes for their religious or spiritual significance. Dragging that tired old shit out of about as brick headed as the dipshits who insist the nsp was actually socialist in any meaningful way.
Stop apologizing, just say your a fascist and wear it proudly like everyone else since it’s somehow not social suicide anymore.

You should say some of this stuff in public and see what happens to you

So you live in a sundown town….and you’re bragging about it? Lmao I don’t have words.
You are a bigot now I understand.
You’re a clown Talon.
No I gave that up to many serial killers in the clown community
When exactly will you start believing the reality before you rather than the one you conjure to insulate yourself from reality?
