Well, according all the comments here that I've read, I'm stupid.
Yes, when you watch the motion as a small repeating gif, of course it looks like a salute. When I watch the actual video, and listen to him speaking, I do not think its a salute.
His child in the article is obviously not happy their father, even before this happened. Reading the article, its obvious their opinion is based on the trans issue, and because they disagree on the topic, then he must be a Nazi. Since they give no other reason for him being a Nazi, I don't think their opinion holds much validity.
It’s incredibly bizarre that there are people in the world defending this shit.
It’s even more incredibly bizarre that anyone could actually look at that video and see anything other than a fucking nazi salute.
People like you are why this world is turning to absolute shit. Just another cog in the wheel.
I'm not defending it, because that's not what I think it was, and that's all I've said about it.
Why do so many of you here have such a hard time with just understanding that it is possible that other people can see something a different way?
It doesn't matter how you see it. Your perspective is irrelevant to the truth.
But it is not a truth yet. Maybe it was, but its still possible it wasn't. All I can say is that time will tell.
No, it is the truth. You're just ignorant.
No I am not, I'm knowledgeable of how Nazis today act.
