The Neo-Nazis are not giving the Hitler-salute.
No.
It's the "Roman Salute".
These guys have jack-shit to do with the Roman Empire, but insist that their heiling is really about Rome and not at all about the Third Reich.
Also, they are not flying the swastika because they like the Nazis.
No.
It's a religious symbol from India.
These guys are all about saving the white race and celebrating european culture... and they do so by honoring some obscure aspect of indian religion.

(Maybe we should cover a whole city in rainbow-flags and claim that we are celebrating the rainbow-bridge Bifrost from norse religion.)

(115,719 posts)The word "Nazi" is the shortened version of the German word "Nationalsozialismus," an ideology arising in Germany, which was
The Nazis aimed to unite all Germans living in historically German territory, as well as gain additional lands for German expansion under the doctrine of Lebensraum, and exclude those who they deemed either community aliens or "inferior" races. The term "National Socialism" arose out of attempts to create a nationalist redefinition of "socialism", as an alternative to both international socialism and free market capitalism. Nazism rejected the Marxist concept of class conflict, opposed cosmopolitan internationalism, and sought to convince all parts of the new German society to subordinate their personal interests to the "common good" and accept political interests as the main priority of economic organization.

Substitute the word Americans for Germans and tell me what's the difference between the German Nazis and the so-called "Neo-Nazis" that crawled out from under their rocks in Charlotteville and elsewhere in the US. Just call them Nazis because that's exactly what they are.

Nazi's come with a broad coalition of people who hate their claim to living and using oxygen. There is no Nazi side that stink does not stick to anyone who suggests otherwise. Russia has a similar fascist oder combine that with Trump so called alt right you have a match.
