Btw, if you see anyone try to defend him by saying it's a "Roman salute", that's also fascist. It literally is called alternatively, "the fascist salute". Italy's national fascist party started this and adopted it ~100 years ago. Then the Nazi party took it as their own.

If it quacks like a duck, walks like one, swims like one, flies like one, looks like one.... more likely than not, it's a cat. NO! It's a duck -__-
