My parents gave me the Nazi salute on Christmas last year to fuck with me.
Weirdest thing ever.

Hey there, Dresden. Thought you got a permaban.

Ah.
Good to see ya.

Like what the hell.

Ask Hitler

I've done the nazi salute a few times to imply someone was excessively controlling or harsh (like a facist) in their demeanor (in a completely joking manner of course).

I've also used it as a joke in political discussions. For example, I had a very conservative friend who was saying that government dissenters should leave the country, and that military service should be mandatory. Upon hearing this, I gave him the Nazi salute and said "Javol! For the party!"

Fun history of the nazi salute: it didn't begin with the nazis. It was actually the salute of the Roman military, which started off as a republic but descended into a facist empire. Knowing this, the salute for me has always denoted facism rather than the murder of 6 million innocents.

The nazis and facist italians, vying to replicate the power of Roman civilization, adpoted the salute for themselves.

Just don't salute people like that.

It's ok for anybody to do the salute, if they want. Simply depends on the context of the situation and the person as to what they mean by it.

:rofl: what could you mean by it other than the racist nazi salute? I really don't get this thread, if you go around doing the nazi salute but call yourself an anti racist your retarded.

Very little in today's world, but it depends whether you actually have Nazi or racist etc. intentions behind it.

I do it if I feel like it... but only around my friends. I assume that many people could find it offensive, even if it is not intended to be.

My parents are racist?
God damn, that explains why they had me take my Nazi flag down.
OH WAIT -

The gesture in itself isn't the problem, it's the person giving the gesture. If it's meant in an offensive way then yes it is wrong, however if it is an innocent gesture and the person is unaware of the connotations and/or is using it in a different context then it shouldn't be a problem.
