Actions do have consequences. Trying to erase posts and people calling you out for what you did and explaining why those actions are bad does not make those things that you did go away and is honestly a bad look. If you don’t want people on social media calling you a Nazi, there’s a really easy solution for that - don’t do Nazi salutes on live TV, don’t make Nazi puns instead of apologizing, and don’t keep regurgitating anti-semetic conspiracy theories like the “great replacement” conspiracy theory.

The claim that the salute has its origins in ancient Rome is dubious at best and ignores the fact that the salute is immediately associated with Nazism. Not a single Roman work of art depicts the salute. Don’t you think that’s a little fishy? There is evidence that it actually originated from the National Fascist Party, under Mussolini. Suffice to say there’s no good evidence that it originated from ancient Rome as opposed to it being a relatively new thing starting from the turn of the 20th century and originating in fascism.

Hitler also did it. The only difference was that Elon Musk did so with more vigour. If he didn’t mean to make a Nazi salute, why did he respond with Nazi puns rather than apologizing?

Darn. I guess this means me making a Reddit account to confess that Luigi was my first videogame character crush ever is out of the question.

Welcome to Lemmy! I hope you have a great time here! 😃

Luigi’s Mansion 1 is one of my all time favourite games on Gamecube. Probably a controversial opinion but I feel like the sequels don’t come anywhere near as close as the original.

Back on topic, what if someone in an Italian subreddit mentions another person named Luigi? There are many famous and infamous people with the first name.
