That's a rather sadistic proposal ... Imagine it really happens that would make these little pricks martyrs and even strengthen the power of the salute. We should all use it until it becomes so general that it loses it's power. We should all don svastika and somewhat lamely salute each other with a Nazi salute. We should make sure we integrate the disabled and all marginal groups.

@PontifexMarximus That’s an example of the sadism they may aspire to, not me.. I watched the ‘hitler youth’ brigade get wiped out in Normandy this evening by the Allies. Hitler wouldn’t allow them to retreat … they’d been trained since age 6 to die for ‘the fatherland.’ These punks have no idea what they’re saluting…

Or Baraboo school Nazi salute.

And to be fair it looks as if a number of the boys declined.

@BufftonBeotch Thanks for the link. Looking at the photo it appears to be a joke, albeit one in poor taste. Their facial exrressions are too goofy to take it seriously.

@indirect76 That is never anything to be taken lightly.

Those brats need to be taken to the camps and see the piles of shoes and pitiful suitcases and rooms of hair.

@BufftonBeotch Should the cast and crew of The Producers do the same?

@indirect76

You know Mel Brooks is Jewish and served in WWII .. Right?

@BufftonBeotch Yes. Are you saying that makes it OK the treat this subject with levity?

@indirect76 If they are Jewish. Maybe.

Otherwise?

No.

Whit White Nationalism rising under Trump.

With him opening saying he is a Nationalist?

There is No Way I would treat this as a joke.

@BufftonBeotch With who opening saying they are a nationalist? What opening? I read the entire article and watched the video. I saw nothing about that.

You would think they would interview or quote someone that was doing the gesture.

@indirect76 -- The 'who' to whom she is referring is, I think, Trump.

That salute, by the way, is the one we all used here in the United States long ago. We stopped doing it shortly after it was taken up by Hitler and his group of thugs. Below is a photo taken at an American school in the early 1940s. We in rural Oregon were slow -- behind the times -- and I remember doing this salute at our little one-room school, and I remember the change in both the salute and the later changes in the pledge.
