The thing about media and the passive language they use.

They describe Elno's Nazi salute as 'a Nazi-like' salute, or he 'appears to' make a Nazi salute, or they call it a Roman salute.

And, yes, none of us can read minds so we cannot say for certain it is a Nazi salute - even though it's the exact same salute the Nazis used.

But that passive language provides so much cover. Next we will have fascists marching down the street, taking over, and the news outlets will be saying:

"Protesters dressed in far right costumes are protesting civilisation by staging a mock militant style coup in the style of a fascist takeover."

After that, they'll be saying: "How did we end up in a dictatorship?"
