Before NSDAP existed (but not before purges and genocide), this is what a Roman Salute looked like.

Enkers@sh.itjust.works 6 days agoHi, I’ve noticed you’ve used the phrase “Roman salute”. This phrase is now known to have antisemitic undertones. If you could kindly change it to “straight armed salute” to avoid any confusion, it would be much appreciated. Thanks! 😊🙏
(I shit you not, Associated Press called it a “straight armed salute” today, lol, lmao, rjdjfbsjxkcnrnsp)

Hi, I’ve noticed you used the term “straight armed salute”. This phrase assumes intention behind the act that we can’t know as it depends on the internal thoughts of the person. Please change it to the more journalistic “gesture” instead.

Hi, I’ve noticed you used the term “gesture”. This phrase assumes any sort of intention behind the act beyond a friendly greeting. Please change it to “wave,” and don’t forget to wave to your neighbors! Additionally, please report any neighbors who don’t wave to you, or seem to respond negatively to a friendly wave.

Hi, I’ve noticed you used the term “wave”. This is considered to be too vague and ambiguous by many people, especially victim organizations. Please use the term “Hitler salute” instead since it’s more precise. Also stop reporting me and other neighbors. This is for your best. It puts you on a watchlist, not us.

Hi I’ve noticed you used the term “Hitler”. This is considered informal and impolite. Please use the term Mein Führer going forward to show the proper respect.
