He stole it from the Italians under Mussolini, who basically took it from a painting. There’s no evidence the Romans used this salute, so it’s always been associated with fascism.
Ok, how often do you see Hindus, Buddhists, Nepalese, Indians, Thai, Mongolians, Sri Lankans, Chinese, Japanese, Akans, Hopis, Navajo, and Tlingit peoples spray paint it on walls or get it tattooed on their bodies in AMERICA? This isn’t any of those countries you listed. The next time I see someone with a swastika on their neck and a Nazi salute here in America am I supposed to assume it’s a peace loving Buddhist with an interest in Roman history?
I love how certain media call it a Roman Salute in an attempt to defend him.
Like, do they think Hitler just made it up himself?

Same people that say the swastika is a symbol of peace.
the swastika remains a symbol of good luck and prosperity in Hindu, Buddhist and Jain countries such as Nepal, India, Thailand, Mongolia, Sri Lanka, China and Japan, and carries various other meanings for peoples around the world, such as the Akan, Hopi, Navajo, and Tlingit peoples…
Also, I think Hitler took the salute from this. Which is similar to the Roman salute.
Hitler had no great ideas, he stole from everyone, and was overall a terrible person full of hatred. But, he did ban human zoos.

No, but if you see it from a person or that ethnicity and religious background, you shouldn’t assume it’s an ode to Hitler.
