    Everyone knows it was a Nazi Salute.

    Nazi’s just denying it because 1) they are not quite at the point where they can sieg heil while marching down mainstreet just yet and 2) because it amuses them to see the left try to desperately convince them it was a nazi salute.

    All your desperate justification, facts, evidence, etc?

    It wont make a nazi not a nazi.

    but it will amuse them, and exhaust you.

    Its time to stop using words against nazis, and go back to using forms are communication that carry a more physical finality to their arguments.

    He claimed it was a “my heart goes out to you” sentiment.

    But the “my heart goes out to you” gesture is palm-up…

      There’s a difference between an authority figure and someone with expertise in a subject. This individual isn’t using a position of power to supplement his argument, he is just detailing his experience.

      People really need to stop treating logical fallacy like they’re harry potter spells.

        also the fallacy fallacy would fit perfectly here. Even if the fallacy was occurring that doesn’t mean the argument is wrong.

          Yep, you can illogically come to a conclusion and still be right. That’s basically how intuitive thought is defined.

    Can someone, who believes this is a Nazi salute, explain to me what his motivation would be? I see what I see but I can’t see it as a nazi thing unless he was intentionally sabotaging or trolling but it doesn’t make sense contextually, unless I need to watch the whole damn thing to get it.

    I searched that exact tweet up and it was posted by three different accounts with the exact same wording.

    Me thinks this is no real.

    OP you got a source? Because if this guy is who he claims he is then all of his work is being called into question and I would be very curious to see what other incorrect takes he’s got.

        It wasn’t. But idk why I bother even attempting to have the conversation on this site. Y’all are convinced that it was and seemingly no other information can penetrate your thick skulls. At least some have had the decency admit they don’t care about the truth and just want to be angry which is cringe but I respect the honesty.

        Edit: spelling.
