Here’s the thing about the “Roman salute.” In 1920, it was co-opted by this rising political party in Germany and its use and definition changed forever. The masks are off. Fascism isn’t knocking on our door, it’s standing in our living room, holding our keys.

Jk, everyone. I just learned that the term “Roman salute” was first used in 1920, but by Italians, not Nazis. But the Nazis did adopt the gesture shortly after. And all of that was based on a salute that was created and used…in America. But we banned it in 1942. Still, fuck fascists.
