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

[–] Hyphlosion@lemm.ee 6 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

He looks like he stuck his tongue in the toaster.

[–] Snapz@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Maybe just an off day, could be that he just got up on the wrong side of the swastika shaped bed this morning...

[–] admin@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 hours ago (3 children)

Does anybody know why hes wearing a mic while speaking into another mic?

[–] Snapz@lemmy.world 5 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Musk's department of government efficiency arranged the A/V for the event

A bunch of fresh high school graduates, got it.

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

He hates Jews.

[–] towerful@programming.dev 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Probably being filmed.
It's rare that filming will want the same feed as is going to a PA. Sometimes they have to due to logistics, but they will moan about it

[–] admin@sh.itjust.works 1 points 55 minutes ago

Maybe the PA vibe can be created on post with the source material.

[–] wheeldawg@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 hours ago

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?

[–] BigBenis@lemmy.world 10 points 3 hours ago

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

[–] wildcardology@lemmy.world 21 points 4 hours ago

People with no billions to protect them are finding out.

[–] pjwestin@lemmy.world 30 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

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 13 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] pjwestin@lemmy.world 10 points 3 hours 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 8 points 3 hours ago

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.

[–] theo@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago

Over in the UK, this got picked up by the mainstream papers. Maybe he is more well known over here. He is the type to often gets headlines for his outrageous comments.

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

[–] TurtleSoup@lemmy.zip 17 points 6 hours ago

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

Oh the memories.

[–] sumguyonline@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Isn't he like, part black, or of ethnic descent at least? Should be more aware of dog whistles like that damned Nazi salute. It ain't callin in the Border Collie's for dinner...

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

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

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 6 hours ago (4 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.

[–] roguetrick@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Anglican Catholic Church

The church part of the name isn't what really gets me. How can a schisim(from the episcopalians) of an offshoot(from the church of England) of a schisim(from the Catholic Church) proclaim itself katholikos (universal).

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Describes a lot of churches origins, many people wanted to move forward and a healthy chunk wanted to go backwards in response.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 7 points 4 hours ago

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

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world -2 points 4 hours ago

Why didn't you mention that in the article, then?

[–] Rhoeri@lemmy.world 20 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

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 57 points 18 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."
