I know we all love to criticize older generations, but in the 20th century if someone did a Nazi salute you could almost guarantee that a WW2 veteran would punch them in the head, and I think there was a great societal benefit to that.

@lowqualityfacts ... absolutely! When today's 'older generation' were kids, their grandfathers had fought in the war(s). Fortunately, some came back intact. Some came back with injuries and the family saw how they walked with a cane and were told of the buried shrapnel from bombs or grenades. Others, who never came back had their names engraved on the local war memorial. But they weren't just names. It was someone's father, an uncle - a close relative. Someone who left a hole in the family when they passed, and they were missed.

Yes, their view of Nazis and war was different because their experience was different. It was real for them - the evidence as well as first and second hand told stories.

Remembrance Day can only do so much.

To keep things from getting too heavy, they had the benefit of watching Hogan's Heros. Where Werner Klemperer played Colonel Wilhelm Klink, the gullible commandant of WWII POW camp, and John Banner played the blundering but affable sergeant-of-the-guard Hans Schultz. Although they were 'captured' the allied characters had the upper hand.

@lowqualityfacts

That may ring somewhat true but it isn't. It wasn't the kids who overwhelmingly voted for the fucking nazis.

@lowqualityfacts

I read that it is a crime in Australia to use that salute

And wonder why the government haven't banned his Xtwitter from the country yet

and then find the politicians are all still using it to "socialise"

In case you wonder how 2 faced

our multimillionaire government ministers are?

@Rory29 @lowqualityfacts it is in Germany, too. Nazi signs and some phrases (for example"to everyone its own", which was written over the Auschwitz [edit: Buchenwald] entrance gate) are where free speech is limited here.

Never again!

@lizzard @Rory29 @lowqualityfacts

Yeah...but even in Germany the media was like "hmmm...was it really a Nazisalute?"

Btw: the writing on the gate was "Arbeit macht frei".

@Kaeser @lizzard @Rory29 @lowqualityfacts

Here is a link to the history of the phrase.

https://krakowdirect.com/arbeit-macht-frei-auschwitz-gate/

ARBEIT MACHT FREI

Its origins dates as far back as to times of Gospel John, where one can find slogan very alike: “Wahrheit macht frei” – The truth makes you free”.

However, the first man to paraphrase those words was German philologist Lorenz Diefenbach. In 1873 he wrote the novel called Arbeit macht frei. It was a beautiful story about finding a path to virtue through labor.

@LovesTha

Federally it is seen as a sign of a terrorist organisation

"includes a separate offence for displaying any symbols used by terrorist organisations"

each state differs

but the federal laws cover all states

@lowqualityfacts I wonder if the fact that WW2 vets are getting, by and large, too old to throw punches, has something to do with this.

@lowqualityfacts ..you are correct on all points....I am of the "older generation", and we - or more precisely the patriotic non-MAGA trash we - would never, ever even think to, in any way, make a Nazi salute....inconceivable....just was not a possibility. Used to think ALL AMERICANS had this built into their DNA....crushingly sad that it turns out not to be. I fully endorse your sentiment that whacking Nazis anywhere found in the noggin is indeed a great societal benefit!

It’s very on-brand for Low Quality Facts to suddenly and inconsistently produce a high quality fact — such is the unreliability we have come to expect from this account.
