No, no… I’ve been assured online it wasn’t actually a Nazi salute.
2014 throwback:
They were never my favorite band. I hate the lyrics, but I like the sound.
– Paul Ryan to NYT when asked if he was a fan of rage against the machine
Not sure if this is better or worse than JD:

Don’t mistake me, I clearly see that Ryan has a whole lotta “rage” in him: A rage against women, a rage against immigrants, a rage against workers, a rage against gays, a rage against the poor, a rage against the environment. Basically the only thing he’s not raging against is the privileged elite he’s groveling in front of for campaign contributions.
It would be so awesome if every RATM song wasn’t relevant in 30 years but I’ve lost all hope
We’re all still here, just stick to the plan and stay safe.
What plan? The one where we let a fascist elect an idiot and then do a nazi salute?
You need to have a plan that doesn’t involve the ballot box.
This is - not as a coy bit, but for real - not a call to violence. You need to figure out how to build where you are right now, and stop asking for permission from a structure that is designed to oppress you. If you’re not sure where to start, Food Not Bombs is a solid first place to inquire.
I have one of those but I don’t post about it online because reasons
The only thing I don’t like about this is the ambiguity. It is not perfectly clear (to me at least) that this isn’t a nazi saying I will do what I want vs the protest art I think (and the rest of the comment section) it is. Like it needs just an extra touch to be explicitly anti fascist and not get co-opted.
Although I see your point, I think the origin point (or at least popularization point) that I guarantee nearly all of us are mentally referencing when we read it supplies that explicit point of reference, at least in my opinion.
Feels different when it’s against your side isn’t it
How do you mean?
