  1. Where's the #lamestreammedia people at now? Probably out doing the #romansalute to the sound of news media fanfare.

  2. What exactly is a "Roman salute?" It doesn't date back to Roman antiquity. Samuel Agbamu, a lecturer at the University of Reading in the U.K. says it started during the French revolution, and became inextricably associated with far-right politics in the early 20th century before being adopted by Benito Mussolini. Here's more from @TheConversationUS.

  3. "we've been down this road before, during the first Donald Trump administration, when white nationalists appropriated the "OK" hand gesture to troll progressives.

    The goal of this was twofold: First, to signal fascist sympathizers to fellow travelers. Second, to bait liberals into ugly, divisive debates over the "true" meaning of the gesture."

  4. Suddenly some #Norwegian #grunder is standing at a #political #party victory ceremony doing the #romansalute - i.e the #nazi salute.

    But it's okay, because a 100 years of #liberalization and #NewPublicManagement has lead to the defunding of #PublicEducation - making people politically and historically ignorant.

    Some old codger says "I remember my great-great grandad was tortured and killed by the Nazis for owning a #jazz record", and a young guy says "stop being a #libtard, grandad."

  5. If you somehow missed it, this is a political ad of the German party the richest man in the world has thrown his weight behind.

    If you donโ€™t see the roman salutes in the picture, you are part of the problem and not the solution.

    (Hint: There are three)

    In Italien rennen die Faschisten vรถllig entnehmt, rechte Parolen skandierend und den rechten Arm erhoben durch die StraรŸen. Schon wieder. Niemand stellt sich ihnen entgegen, im Gegenteil, die Gerichte unterstรผtzen sie. Die Leute halten einfach still, schauen nur noch zu.

  8. Italyโ€™s Supreme Court ruled the infamous fascist salute not to be a crime unless โ€œthere is an actual concrete danger of the reconstitution of the fascist party, which is absolutely excluded in the case of commemorations.โ€ The latest court ruling comes just a little over 10 days after hundreds of fascists marched through the Italian capital doing the fascist salute.
