Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

You've got to be fucking kidding me, Rolling Stone. Get the fuck out of here.
The Hitler salute is a "Roman salute". The Roman empire is a big inspiration for Nazis. And Rolling Stone seems to be very aware of that in the article.
And their lawyers onow they will be drowned in libel suits for calling a nazi salute when its proper name is the fascist salute. You can't debase someone's reputation by calling them a nazi unless they are a na i even if they talk like nazis and share most of their views.
I don't quite follow what you're saying, but I think I largely agree?
In the USA they would get swarmed in lawsuits by Musk and his associated companies for calling him a Nazi which is an insult. It does not matter that he has a lot of Nazi adjacent opinions.
The safest thing for the press to do is call it "odd" and mention "historical significance" and maybe the fact that it came from ancient Rome and letthe audience figure it out. Most adults are not so stupid as to not see what he did.
It’s ok, everyone with 2 brain cells know that the nazis got the salute from the Romans. It’s the same thing.
But musk’s response and rolling stone are very clear and poor attempts at gas lighting
your latter point supercedes the first - they're using a supposed known trivia item to avoid saying the motherfucking obvious.
It's inexcusable.
Welp, they just made the do not read list.
They were already in the do not read list when their "top 50 games of all time" was AI generated
I fucking tested it myself with GPT 4o
