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.

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.

[–] circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org 46 points 12 hours ago

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 Clearly, he has not, and as such, his license in this Church has been revoked.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

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

Wouldn’t “Anglican Catholic Church” mean he’s Catholic? (Genuine question!)

[–] ALiteralCabbage@feddit.uk 17 points 7 hours ago

The "Anglican Catholic Church" is actually not affiliated with either the holy see (the "actual" Roman Catholic Church) or the Anglican Church (as headed by the Archbishop Canterbury and the King of England).

He joined it because he didn't make the cut to become an actual Anglican Priest because of

concerns about Robinson's "libertarian anti-woke, anti-identity politics, Covid-sceptical" political views and his use of social media, particularly Twitter, to disseminate them."

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 14 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Not according to the Catholic church. They're not Anglicans according to the Anglican church either.

Angelican usually refers to the Church of England, a Protestant denomination.

"Catholic" usually refers to the Catholicism, a catholic denomination.

[–] Aqarius@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

Weirdly, it means "universal". It's just used as a short for "Roman-Catholic". The orthodox church is officially the "Orthodox Catholic Church".

[–] asterism@lemmy.ca 4 points 11 hours ago

Gotcha! I had no clue Anglican was a protestant denomination. TIL!

[–] BrazenSigilos@ttrpg.network 31 points 14 hours ago

"Nazi salute"

FTFY

[–] inb4_FoundTheVegan@lemmy.world 120 points 17 hours ago

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.

[–] Linktank@lemmy.today 69 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

You can just say "Does a nazi salute"

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 7 points 10 hours ago

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.

[–] IzzyScissor@lemmy.world 35 points 15 hours 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.

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 hours ago

Nah, at the "leadership" level Religion is just another kind of scam.

It's only the riff-raff who are genuinely believers in that stuff and even those pick and chose the parts of it they follow (you will notice that, for example, almost none of the "believers" in Abrahamic religions care about God's Commandment against Greed or the lesson of Jesus kicking out the Money Lenders from the Temple).

[–] ReadMoreBooks@lemmy.zip 27 points 14 hours ago

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

[–] PumpkinEscobar@lemmy.world 6 points 12 hours ago

You understand, he… does not

[–] drolex@sopuli.xyz 106 points 17 hours 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 11 points 15 hours ago (1 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..

Nice video!

[–] breadsmasher@lemmy.world 91 points 18 hours ago (2 children)
[–] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 hours ago

Obviously they're both doing a Roman Salute!

(Doesn't even need a /s because the Nazi salute is literally the so-called Roman Salute)

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 6 points 6 hours 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?

[–] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 27 points 15 hours 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 10 points 12 hours ago

They only play Christian games, like Binding of Isaac

[–] Soulg@sh.itjust.works 7 points 11 hours ago

He truly was banned from the Christian Minecraft server

[–] lemmylommy@lemmy.world 49 points 17 hours ago

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

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 19 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 hour ago

I don't think it's cowardice, I think it's a very purposefully trying to normalizing it.

[–] metaStatic@kbin.earth 27 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

it was just a joke bro, just get on the train, trust me bro
