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

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?

Toot

@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!

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".

Here is a link to the history of the phrase.

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.
