I do find it crazy that pcgamer is reporting this, because the rest of the news media has just faceplanted on journalism. Reminds me of the Bush Admin, when Rolling Stone Magazine was one of the only reliable sources of news thanks to the extreme corruption within the major publications.

During the first trump presidency, teen vogue was doing the actual journalism and it was crazy

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Until they shut it down, Buzzfeed News had become one of the better news organizations.

Rolling Stone was probably the only source of actual journalism during the Iraq Invasion for a time.

Oh the memories.

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.

[–] drolex@sopuli.xyz 142 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] overload@sopuli.xyz 18 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Oh yes, some people did recognise that the arm gesture in question may have been used by the Romans. Very neutral, we all know the Romans were around a long time ago, so..

Well, the great news is that this guy doesn't look anything like a god-damned villain...

If you asked me what Thunderf00t would look like if he became a priest instead of a scientist/youtuber this is what id imagine.

To counterbalance the two stick up in his ass

It is very funny that there are so many examples of people basically saying, "It wasn't a Nazi salute, watch I'll show you," and then immediately ruining their lives by doing it.

[–] Wizzard@lemm.ee 19 points 5 days ago (2 children)

They were already one half lost if they believed it was innocent in the first place.

[–] pjwestin@lemmy.world 18 points 5 days ago

I'm sure most of them just believed they could get away with it and then abruptly realized they did not have the same power and influence as the richest man on Earth.

[–] pilotgrrl@lemm.ee 13 points 5 days ago

They don’t really believe it’s innocent, they just want it to be ok to hate.

People is going crazy with these b/w filter just to make variations of Elon's salute.

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 15 points 5 days ago

You're clearly trying to paint Elon in a bad light! Why did you leave out the footage of the Romans doing it huh?

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".

[–] wildcardology@lemmy.world 24 points 5 days ago

People with no billions to protect them are finding out.

[–] BigBenis@lemmy.world 20 points 5 days ago

This guy looks like he tried to fuck a power outlet.

"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."

[–] lemmylommy@lemmy.world 53 points 6 days ago

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

[–] IzzyScissor@lemmy.world 41 points 5 days ago (3 children)

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.

[–] ReadMoreBooks@lemmy.zip 31 points 5 days ago

No. He's lying about that part. He worships his own ego.

"Nazi salute"

FTFY

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 5 days ago (6 children)

I mean church in the loosest sense of the word since it was literally only created in 1997 as an offshoot because they didn't like women becoming ordained.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 16 points 5 days ago

No, that's a church in every sense of the word. That is a normal thing for Christian Churches to do.

lol! Basically it’s-

Nazi Sympathizer Does Nazi Salute. Watch It Now On X!

I’d say you can’t write shit like this… but here we are, reading an article about a Nazi that links to video of the repugnant act- hosted on a Nazi-run social media platform.

[–] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 28 points 5 days ago (2 children)

... Gamer Priest?

I am just imagining like a Christian BF42 server that bans you for swearing, but a lan party of such people, in a church.

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 14 points 5 days ago

They only play Christian games, like Binding of Isaac

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!”

[–] MeaanBeaan@lemmy.world 22 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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

Say Nazi in the title, you fucking cowards. Sprinkle on some allegedly if you have to. You know goddamn well what it was.

How old is this photo? He definitely didn't have that hair in the actual clip. Why is this the shot being used instead of one from the actual day of?

[–] jh29a@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

the fact that two mostly unrelated consequences are tied together with "and" in the title had me laughing

[–] DogPeePoo@lemm.ee 20 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

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