The number of people I've seen going "omg he just trolling" and "he really knows how to rile up the populace" as excuses for him not "meaning it" when he did his nazi salute have already driven me mad.
Keep call out the nazis you see for what they are.
The "it was just a joke, chill" sort of excuse should still be treated just the same as a sincere gesture, anyways.
You can be a fascist and ironically do a nazi salute at the same time
You can be a nazi and not do a nazi salute
Does it matter if he did a nazi salute if his actions are already bad enough?
