    Ah yes. Elon’s salute. The famous salute. Sounds OK to me if it’s just a salute. Is there some simple way to describe this salute, to give the reader an idea if it’s a good or a bad salute? I wonder if there would be a precise description for this salute, my dear journos?

    Ah yes it’s a nazi salute, of course. Easy to forget this adjective, since it’s completely harmless and very mundane.

      Oh yes, some people did recognise that the arm gesture in question may have been used by the Romans. Very neutral, we all know the Romans were around a long time ago, so…

      Yeah, stop giving Elon a perpetual boner by calling this an “Elon” salute. Give credit where credit is due. Like you could say, I just took a giant Elon and everyone would indeed know what you meant, but you really should just say you took a big shit.

    Say Nazi in the title, you fucking cowards. Sprinkle on some allegedly if you have to. You know goddamn well what it was.

    The irony is, just by looking at him, this is exactly the type of person Hitler wanted to exterminate.

    … Gamer Priest?

    I am just imagining like a Christian BF42 server that bans you for swearing, but a lan party of such people, in a church.

    I mean church in the loosest sense of the word since it was literally only created in 1997 as an offshoot because they didn’t like women becoming ordained.

    Need more of this. More pointing out the consequences which exist for anyone but the super rich. More pointing out how we are gaslighted to believe “it’s not a Nazi salute”.

    That’s one unusual looking fellow. Perhaps he could find a new job as a mad scientist of sorts?

    How old is this photo? He definitely didn’t have that hair in the actual clip. Why is this the shot being used instead of one from the actual day of?

    I saw the video of this a little earlier. He smirked with the “My heart goes out to you” part. 🤢

    I heard he almost wasn’t confirmed in the church in the first place, but I didn’t know about the gaming website editorial staff resigning. Wow.

      He literally wasn’t ordained by the Anglican Church because of his “anti woke” views. He joined a knock off church which wasn’t desperately to be part of the catholic church (but, and I can’t stress this enough, isn’t at all). He’s cosplaying being a vicar for clout while being a fucking worse bigot than two of the largest organised denominations.
