The nazis modeled a lot of their Reich on the Roman state (the eagle iconography was used by both). The Roman salute was just something else they took from their idea of the Roman empire
So I’m with you, I have no idea how “it’s a roman salute” is supposed to make anything better
I know you’re joking, but I still struggle to see how that makes things better? We have evidence that the Romans also committed genocide.
yea im joking, its a very common apologia nazis throw when someone is caught doing the nazi salute.
