Surely them doing the Nazis salute counts as cultural appropriation. The right-wing German should be complaining about it. They need to come up with their own salutes

Hey! That's our thing!

Didn't we used to do the nazi salute for the pledge of allegience before ww2? I remember reading it somewhere but also FUCK NAZIS

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 17 points 11 months ago

The pledge itself is already nazi bullshit.

Tbf, it didn't have the Nazi connotation then. It's like how the meaning of the Swastika has changed over time. It been common in Hindu and Buddhist iconography for over a thousand years.

TBF in this case stands for "to be rational".

AFAIK it was a reference to the “Italian Salute”, aka Mussolini, the coiner of the term fascism… So not really all that much better…
