    Surely them doing the Nazis salute counts as cultural appropriation. The right-wing German should be complaining about it. They need to come up with their own salutes

        AFAIK it was a reference to the “Italian Salute”, aka Mussolini, the coiner of the term fascism… So not really all that much better…

        Tbf, it didn’t have the Nazi connotation then. It’s like how the meaning of the Swastika has changed over time. It been common in Hindu and Buddhist iconography for over a thousand years.
