    Awww, people are realizing a Nazi salute has consequences. Good for him!

    Like all billionaires, Elon can (unfortunately) do whatever the fuck he wants and he will be okay. If your boss isn’t fasscy then you’re gonna get wrecked.

    Ah yes. Elon’s salute. The famous salute. Sounds OK to me if it’s just a salute. Is there some simple way to describe this salute, to give the reader an idea if it’s a good or a bad salute? I wonder if there would be a precise description for this salute, my dear journos?

    Ah yes it’s a nazi salute, of course. Easy to forget this adjective, since it’s completely harmless and very mundane.

      Yeah, stop giving Elon a perpetual boner by calling this an “Elon” salute. Give credit where credit is due. Like you could say, I just took a giant Elon and everyone would indeed know what you meant, but you really should just say you took a big shit.

    I do find it crazy that pcgamer is reporting this, because the rest of the news media has just faceplanted on journalism. Reminds me of the Bush Admin, when Rolling Stone Magazine was one of the only reliable sources of news thanks to the extreme corruption within the major publications.

    Need more of this. More pointing out the consequences which exist for anyone but the super rich. More pointing out how we are gaslighted to believe “it’s not a Nazi salute”.

    It is very funny that there are so many examples of people basically saying, “It wasn’t a Nazi salute, watch I’ll show you,” and then immediately ruining their lives by doing it.

    This guy worships the “Turn the other cheek” guy, right?

    The “love your neighbors” guy?

    The “unconditional love” guy?

    Just want to make sure I fully understand.

      Nah, at the “leadership” level Religion is just another kind of scam.

      It’s only the riff-raff who are genuinely believers in that stuff and even those pick and chose the parts of it they follow (you will notice that, for example, almost none of the “believers” in Abrahamic religions care about God’s Commandment against Greed or the lesson of Jesus kicking out the Money Lenders from the Temple).

        Probably being filmed.
        It’s rare that filming will want the same feed as is going to a PA. Sometimes they have to due to logistics, but they will moan about it

            If the live engineer is crappy and causes feedback or echo (like on the brink of feedback) that goes straight to records. There is no way to fix it in post (well, no decent way, and takes ages to dial in something mostly acceptable ).
            If it’s a “feel of being live” that’s required in post, most lavs are omni so will pick up a bunch of atmo noise. It will likely feel live by virtue of being live. I imagine they have some mics on the camera as well for atmo.

            Maybe the records aren’t set up for a feed from the sound desk. Maybe the sound desk isn’t able to provide a clean feed.
            The lav mic is probably wireless, with the receiver direct into a camera. They don’t have any gain-before-feedback physics to contend with, so they can gain it however they want.
            And if they are doing any spots not in front of the mic on stage (or a mic through the sound desk), they will need a mic anyway. If they always use the same mic, then the sound will be consistent.

            Better to have an independent feed.

            But who cares, the guy is a piece of shit. Any videos he’s gonna put out are not for the benefit of humanity

        Wouldn’t “Anglican Catholic Church” mean he’s Catholic? (Genuine question!)

          The “Anglican Catholic Church” is actually not affiliated with either the holy see (the “actual” Roman Catholic Church) or the Anglican Church (as headed by the Archbishop Canterbury and the King of England).

          He joined it because he didn’t make the cut to become an actual Anglican Priest because of

          concerns about Robinson’s “libertarian anti-woke, anti-identity politics, Covid-sceptical” political views and his use of social media, particularly Twitter, to disseminate them."

            Can’t speak for the actual Anglican church because I’ve never been to the UK. But the episcopalian church, which is the american spinoff of the Anglican church, is the most accepting church I’m aware of. They regularly put up signs with a rainbow flag that say “All Are Welcome”

          Not according to the Catholic church. They’re not Anglicans according to the Anglican church either.

              Like all Church schisms it’s “we’re the only ones who are right about how our god is supposed to be worshiped”, so they don’t feel bad about taking the names of Anglicans or Catholics because they think that those other groups are doing religion wrong, so who cares if it’s confusing.

            Anglican really just means a version of the Catholic church splintered off by Anglo-Saxons, and Catholic means for everyone, so all their church name really means is a Anglican tradition, or style church for everyone. Thera millions of sects out there that use very similar titles and terminology, it’s not always misleading even if it’s confusing or obscure language.

              Anglican really just means a version of the Catholic church splintered off by Anglo-Saxons

              The proto-Anglicans stopped being Catholics when King Henry the 8th couldn’t get the pope to annul his marriage, so he split the English church from the Catholic church. So, for 500 years, the Anglicans haven’t been Catholics. And it has nothing to do with “Anglo-Saxons”. Anglo-Saxons are a cultural group from the middle ages. The Church of England and Anglicanism comes from centuries later and applies to the country of England under the king Henry the 8th. The Church of England and/or Anglicanism doesn’t date from the middle ages, it was effectively a political construction due to the king wanting a divorce and not to have to answer to the pope. But, the reasons behind the split don’t really matter as much as the fact that the people following churches related to that split haven’t recognized the authority of the pope for centuries, so they’re not Catholics.

              In this case, the name is really misleading because the Anglicans don’t consider them to be Anglican, the Catholics definitely don’t consider them to be Catholics, and you can’t really merge the Anglican and Catholic faiths because they’re so different.

              Weirdly, it means “universal”. It’s just used as a short for “Roman-Catholic”. The orthodox church is officially the “Orthodox Catholic Church”.

    I’d say you can’t write shit like this… but here we are, reading an article about a Nazi that links to video of the repugnant act- hosted on a Nazi-run social media platform.
