The dipshit didn't realise that there can be consequences if you aren't a billionaire.
But he proved a point... If he did the same thing musk did as a "joke" then now you can't deny musk did a Nazi salute if this guy got in trouble for it by copying him...
Add this to evidence against musk in his I'm not a Nazi lawsuit
Get defrocked, idiot. (I love the term "defrocked", haha)
Christianity has a rich history of changing to match the dominant culture. This isn't even the first time Christians have supported Nazis.
Ahhhhh...NOW it's called a Nazi salute. I get it.
The Guardian called it an "apparent Nazi salute" when Musk did it too: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/jan/21/the-gesture-speaks-for-itself-germans-divided-over-musks-apparent-nazi-salute
Should have used the word "obvious" instead.
What about the loser on top?
I swear not everyone from Michigan is a radical fucking moron. There are a lot though.
For those, like myself, who have never heard of the Anglican Catholic Church: they are neither Anglican nor Catholic.
Yeah. This is one of the breakaway groups from when the Episcopal Church started ordaining women in the 1970s. Fun fact: the "Anglican Catholic Church" was one of the names considered for the Episcopal Church when it was founded.
It's interesting to see the contrast between his remarks and that of Bishop Budde.
I thought it was the Atlantic Coast Conference
They rightly condemn the Nazi salute, but they haven't quite realized that forcing unwilling women to undergo childbirth is Nazi tactics.
one person got away with it and now they're all gonna begin testing the waters
It's just like the "OK" sign they all just happened to do in the same exaggerated way. Or sometimes they just flash a 3% sign at the police while walking by to go murder people with their AR-15, and the cops toss you a water after the deed is done.
So his defense was that he was merely intending to humiliate people who find issue with the gesture?
Some light treason
No, no, no, I was saying Heil Musk
Even the Angelican are better than those....guys
