> Sticking one's arm out is not a "Nazi salute" in the absence of an ideological component.

What?

So showing someone the middle finger straight in the face without also verbally expressing it (aka. showing their ideological component, to be as vague as you were), is not a bad thing at all, but an entirely neutral finger gesture, too?

Also: how can someone honestly compare the static images provided with Musk's salute. Apart from comparing static images being nonsensical when it's about a salute; even the referenced images are chosen so badly, that they look nothing like a Nazi salute. Like, you need to be aware of you mental gymnastics.
