"Those who mimic the Nazi salute, even as a joke or an attempt to troll their opponents, trivialize the horror of the Holocaust," said the Anglican Catholic Church.
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.
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…
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).
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.
The “Anglican Catholic Church” is actually not affiliated with either the holy see (the “actual” Roman Catholic Church) or the Anglican Church (as headed by the Archbishop Canterbury and the King of England).
He joined it because he didn’t make the cut to become an actual Anglican Priest because of
concerns about Robinson’s “libertarian anti-woke, anti-identity politics, Covid-sceptical” political views and his use of social media, particularly Twitter, to disseminate them."
Can’t speak for the actual Anglican church because I’ve never been to the UK. But the episcopalian church, which is the american spinoff of the Anglican church, is the most accepting church I’m aware of. They regularly put up signs with a rainbow flag that say “All Are Welcome”
Anglican really just means a version of the Catholic church splintered off by Anglo-Saxons, and Catholic means for everyone, so all their church name really means is a Anglican tradition, or style church for everyone. Thera millions of sects out there that use very similar titles and terminology, it’s not always misleading even if it’s confusing or obscure language.

The proto-Anglicans stopped being Catholics when King Henry the 8th couldn’t get the pope to annul his marriage, so he split the English church from the Catholic church. So, for 500 years, the Anglicans haven’t been Catholics. And it has nothing to do with “Anglo-Saxons”. Anglo-Saxons are a cultural group from the middle ages. The Church of England and Anglicanism comes from centuries later and applies to the country of England under the king Henry the 8th. The Church of England and/or Anglicanism doesn’t date from the middle ages, it was effectively a political construction due to the king wanting a divorce and not to have to answer to the pope. But, the reasons behind the split don’t really matter as much as the fact that the people following churches related to that split haven’t recognized the authority of the pope for centuries, so they’re not Catholics.
In this case, the name is really misleading because the Anglicans don’t consider them to be Anglican, the Catholics definitely don’t consider them to be Catholics, and you can’t really merge the Anglican and Catholic faiths because they’re so different.
Like all Church schisms it’s “we’re the only ones who are right about how our god is supposed to be worshiped”, so they don’t feel bad about taking the names of Anglicans or Catholics because they think that those other groups are doing religion wrong, so who cares if it’s confusing.
“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.”
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.
The church part of the name isn’t what really gets me. How can a schisim(from the episcopalians) of an offshoot(from the church of England) of a schisim(from the Catholic Church) proclaim itself katholikos (universal).
Meanings of words evolve. They’re refering to the belief system rather than to the original meaning and ethymology. But when you know it does sound funny.
Yeah it’s just the Catholics, with their belief in universal authority of the Pope, actually still embody that original etymology. And if there’s one group that gets hung up on the original meaning of words in other languages it’s theologians. Well, at least non evangelical theologians. Evangelicals like to invent meaning and declare the king James bible divinely inspired so who knows what’s going through their minds half the time.

Nice video!
… 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.
He truly was banned from the Christian Minecraft server
They only play Christian games, like Binding of Isaac
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.
No. He’s lying about that part. He worships his own ego.
You understand, he… does not

It’s a Inauguration Day nazi salute. Tell it like it is.
Good. Fuck nazis.
it was just a joke bro, just get on the train, trust me bro
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!”
the fact that two mostly unrelated consequences are tied together with “and” in the title had me laughing
The irony is, just by looking at him, this is exactly the type of person Hitler wanted to exterminate.
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)
It’s just the
nazifascist salute. There’s no evidence that ancient greeks or romans ever did this.https://www.factchecker.gr/2025/01/28/the-nazi-salute-does-not-have-ancient-greek-or-roman-origins/

You’re clearly trying to paint Elon in a bad light! Why did you leave out the footage of the Romans doing it huh?
People is going crazy with these b/w filter just to make variations of Elon’s salute.
It’s hilarious to me to see something actually get a priest kicked out of the Catholic church.
He’s not Catholic.
Wouldn’t “Anglican Catholic Church” mean he’s Catholic? (Genuine question!)

Not according to the Catholic church. They’re not Anglicans according to the Anglican church either.
Anglican really just means a version of the Catholic church splintered off by Anglo-Saxons, and Catholic means for everyone, so all their church name really means is a Anglican tradition, or style church for everyone.

So… “let’s be neither of those things by using both of their names at the same time”?
Like all Church schisms it’s “we’re the only ones who are right about how our god is supposed to be worshiped”, so they don’t feel bad about taking the names of Anglicans or Catholics because they think that those other groups are doing religion wrong, so who cares if it’s confusing.
Huh, very interesting!

Angelican usually refers to the Church of England, a Protestant denomination.
“Catholic” usually refers to the Catholicism, a catholic denomination.
Weirdly, it means “universal”. It’s just used as a short for “Roman-Catholic”. The orthodox church is officially the “Orthodox Catholic Church”.
Gotcha! I had no clue Anglican was a protestant denomination. TIL!
Say Nazi in the title, you fucking cowards. Sprinkle on some allegedly if you have to. You know goddamn well what it was.
I don’t think it’s cowardice, I think it’s a very purposefully trying to normalizing it.
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.
No, that’s a church in every sense of the word. That is a normal thing for Christian Churches to do.
Describes a lot of churches origins, many people wanted to move forward and a healthy chunk wanted to go backwards in response.
Why didn’t you mention that in the article, then?

This guy looks like he tried to fuck a power outlet.
