"Those who mimic the Nazi salute, even as a joke or an attempt to troll their opponents, trivialize the horror of the Holocaust," said the Anglican Catholic Church.

    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.

        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.

        They don’t really believe it’s innocent, they just want it to be ok to hate.
