That is rubbish.  The nazi salute is banned in several European countries and has been for a long time.

Ah, so you did already read on, but you just saw other posts and figured it was a good opportunity to pile on, eh?  Either that or it's hilarious to tell somebody to 'take ownership' of something when you literally admit you cant be bothered to take responsibility for not actually reading the full conversation. 

 

I like your avatar, by the way.  Live right by Peckham and Brick Brewery's Peckham Rye is genuinely really good. Not trying to be chummy here(you dont seem that nice), but just noticed it and wanted to comment since I thought it was neat.

The totalitarianism of mentally abusing a 15 year old child over a joke and by proxy all who observe the response, due to adults' own moral neuroticisms, vastly outweigh the Nazi salute. I can't stand lynchmobs and all perspective has been lost.

 

Maybe he can where a Klan hood next time.

This kid didn't start a war.

 

Neither the Russian citizens that are suffering under the sanctions, nor the oligarchs.  So what?  You don't come to a country, race under their flag, and then give them the middle finger.

This kid didn't start a war.

Extreme ignorance and "evil" are identical twins and interchangeable as far as consequences. Lots of German and Italians just  wanted to get through life in WW2 also, as did the Japanese, they still had to face fully the actions of those who governed them.  Goverments don´t come out of thin air, they com from their population and mostly enable or overturned by their population. Revolutions, enlightenment, independence, they didn´t happen by Osmosis... 

Even in cases like North Korea, one could call it extreme isolation ignorance, if Kim decided to start nuking neighbors and ordering attacks, North Koreans would still suffer the full consequences of it, even they most likely they have not a clue what happens in the world outside of N. Korea, that is just a fact of life. Again, an extreme ignorance state and an evil state, are interchangeable.

The totalitarianism of mentally abusing a 15 year old child

Interesting way to spell consequences.

Ever since this thing blew up, I was wondering the official line of thought of the ultra right-wing nut cases. I'm glad that I won't have to check. Now I know.

It never ceases to amaze me how they always end up on the opposite side of the debate spectrum when the subject is Nazis. I mean always.

Civilians are killed indiscriminately in any war. I was referring to all the finer unsubstantiated accusations towards Russia such as purposely killing, torturing and raping of civilians. The lengths the media and governments go to justify its countries actions and influence its populous is quite staggering really. 

 

As I'm sure you've heard before; the first casualty in war is the truth.

Why should any one be so insensitive to like the way Nazi had salute each other, in the way to reinstate rejection? 

Racing is nothing about the podium to present such revisions, or is it? 

it kind of undermine what we like.

I’m usually one of the first in with the pitchforks which stuff like this, but on this occasion I can actually see how it could have been a silly joke prompted by someone from his team in front of him that he didn’t know the significance of.

[SophieB]

In the absence of any further updates, this tale of a kid being investigated for doing a Nazi salute from the top step of the podium has taken an ugly turn. By all means let’s reopen it if there’s significant news.

he got disqualified from the race he won btw

no ban, but I guess he will have a hard time finding a team in the near future anyway

It is terrible in Russia what they are showing on their media and pushing their people to be like, they don't see Ukraine as Ukrainian's and want them to be Pro Russian, and there are many instances of "White Russians"  sadly many young athletes are following this trend brainwashed by the kremlin and their propaganda machine.

 

Hopefully this could be the last instant but the world sports have to stand up to any potential Nazi gestures and racism and stand up to Russia's white supremency (Who are brainwashing their people as if Ukraine's are Nazi's to justify their "special operation")
