    “While we cannot say what was in Mr. Robinson’s heart when he did this, his action appears to have been an attempt to curry favor with certain elements of the American political right by provoking its opposition,” reads a statement posted by the Anglican Catholic Church on Wednesday. “Mr. Robinson had been warned that online trolling and other such actions (whether in service of the left or right) are incompatible with a priestly vocation and was told to desist. Clearly, he has not, and as such, his license in this Church has been revoked. He is no longer serving as a priest in the ACC.”

    Awww, people are realizing a Nazi salute has consequences. Good for him!

    Like all billionaires, Elon can (unfortunately) do whatever the fuck he wants and he will be okay. If your boss isn’t fasscy then you’re gonna get wrecked.

      Proverbs 26:18-19

      Like a madman who throws firebrands, arrows, and death,

      Is the man who deceives his neighbor, And says, “I was only joking!”

    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.

      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.

      You’re clearly trying to paint Elon in a bad light! Why did you leave out the footage of the Romans doing it huh?

      Obviously they’re both doing a Roman Salute!

      (Doesn’t even need a /s because the Nazi salute is literally the so-called Roman Salute)

          From what I read it’s a copy of what Mussolini thought was a Roman Salute, which was just something he got from a painting which was not at all Historically accurate, so it wasn’t actually a salute that the Ancient Romans did.

          (I suspect that in Mussolini’s time some people born and living in the city of Rome did that salute, so strictly speaking it could be called a Roman Salute 😜)

          However many call it a Roman Salute because that’s what the Fascists thought it was, hence one could say that the Nazi Salute is also called a Roman Salute.

        Yeah, the Nazi who’s an Anglican Catholic priest runs a gamer website. Sure, it sounds like Mad Libs, but it’s just 2025.

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

    This guy worships the “Turn the other cheek” guy, right?

    The “love your neighbors” guy?

    The “unconditional love” guy?

    Just want to make sure I fully understand.

      Nah, at the “leadership” level Religion is just another kind of scam.

      It’s only the riff-raff who are genuinely believers in that stuff and even those pick and chose the parts of it they follow (you will notice that, for example, almost none of the “believers” in Abrahamic religions care about God’s Commandment against Greed or the lesson of Jesus kicking out the Money Lenders from the Temple).
