What’s the thing with calling him a Nazi? Being against mass immigration? His support for the German AFD party? That’s the 2nd most popular party, hardly a fringe extremist Nazi party, despite its distant roots. Far left people are lately the most anti semitic, so it’s all ironic.

If you think he really did a Nazi salute, you’ve just drank the media kool aide.

The AfD are literally pitching themselves as Nazi 2.0, so his support for violent racist extremists in Germany and Rest of World - notably the UK - is entirely on point.

But ultimately the Nazis were a specific brand of fascism. You don't need a Hugo Boss uniform and a lower limb disorder to be a fascist.

You do need to be actively opposed to fair elections and other bedrock progressive values, a cynical exploiter and promoter of race hatred and violence for political ends, and a dedicated corporatist.

The fact that his own chatbot labelled itself MechaHitler after he updated the system prompt is just icing.

That's a lot of hyped up delusions in one post. And so many people think only the right wing lives in a media bubble.
