How is a "pro-Nazi salute" different from a "Nazi salute"?
I've always wondered what the difference is between a "nazi sympathizer" and a nazi
Maybe they're only a Nazi if they're a card-carrying member of the NSDAP, otherwise they're only a sparkling fascist.
None .... it's always OK to punch a Nazi ... and its also OK to punch a Nazi sympathizer
Well Finland and some Ukrainians joined the Axis because Russia (USSR at the time) was their enemy
And
Thailand joined the axis to reclaim land from Britain and France
They weren’t Nazis but maybe they were sympathetic?

One of them shows you that the media is complicit
It's an ustaše salute, they were buddies with Nazis.
Good point, but unless the ustashe independently invented it, I'd consider it a Nazi salute.
I don't think it's right hand salute, if you mean the thing Musk did
unless the ustashe independently invented it
They did, they weren't instructed by German nazis on what words to use. Not that it makes any difference, ustašas were just the local variant of fascists.
Thank you for asking the important question. I came here to up-vote your comment.
It´s because he makes a living with it
pro-Nazi salute?

80 years later, the number of Ustasha supporters exceeded the number of Ustasha victims in World War II. People really do have short memories.
So, can't support Palestine in the EU, but Nazi salutes and support are good.
I mean, it's technically illegal here, just that the government turns a blind eye when it's popular
Its fine, netanyahu gave them the "H-Word Pass" (its like the "N-Word Pass" but for "heil hitler") /s
Dumbasses.
right wing
Nazi
You don't have to say it twice...
Shit like this should have been rooted out before they became a full member of the EU. This will only embolden Nazi in other EU nations.
While I know it won't happen, it would be so fucking funny if they arrested all of the like 500k attendees for the salute
Napalm is a problem solver. Just sayin.
If your problem is “too many Vietnamese children aren’t on fire” then it’s a problem solver, yeah.
I'm for using it to help cleanse Nazi.

Fucking clowns, I hate Thompson so much
Real antiaemitism is not critisized by the.governments and pro israel people but condemn anti occupation people
So this means their visas are being checked and converts are being cancelled... Right...? Riiiight???
They are croatians in Croatia, what visas are you taking about?
The current administration is very anti-antisemitism, I'm sure they'll get right on it.... Any minute now.....
Right wingers and Nazism is not too different from each other now.
Never was
*reverse astronaut-with-gun meme
Nazism has always been a right wing ideology.
the salute focus on the 1991-95 ethnic war in Croatia, in which he fought using the American firearm, after the country declared independence from the former Yugoslavia.
Ah the old reliable anti-communist gotta fascist rule.
There was little to no actual anti-communism at play at that point (although it was still relevant symbolically). Both sides were already capitalist. Yugoslavia had been on the path of liberalisation for quite a while before the breakup.
Btw, that excuse is bullshit, the phrase was picked by Croatian extremists (especially the paramilitary HOS) in the 90s because it was used by ustašas (fascists) half a century earlier in the first place.
What if it's just an ancient Roman salute from the heart to the sun?

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19

Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
