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

People with no billions to protect them are finding out.
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.
They were already one half lost if they believed it was innocent in the first place.
They don’t really believe it’s innocent, they just want it to be ok to hate.
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
Rolling Stone was probably the only source of actual journalism during the Iraq Invasion for a time.
Oh the memories.
the fact that two mostly unrelated consequences are tied together with "and" in the title had me laughing
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.
No, that's a church in every sense of the word. That is a normal thing for Christian Churches to do.
Why didn't you mention that in the article, then?
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.
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 Clearly, he has not, and as such, his license in this Church has been revoked.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.
He's not Catholic.
Wouldn’t “Anglican Catholic Church” mean he’s Catholic? (Genuine question!)
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."
Can't speak for the actual Anglican church because I've never been to the UK. But the episcopalian church, which is the american spinoff of the Anglican church, is the most accepting church I'm aware of. They regularly put up signs with a rainbow flag that say "All Are Welcome"
Not according to the Catholic church. They're not Anglicans according to the Anglican church either.
So... "let's be neither of those things by using both of their names at the same time"?

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.
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.

You can just say "Does a nazi salute"
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.
"Nazi salute"
FTFY
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.
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).
No. He's lying about that part. He worships his own ego.

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)
It's just the ~~nazi~~ fascist salute. There's no evidence that ancient greeks or romans ever did this.

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