It is very funny that there are so many examples of people basically saying, "It wasn't a Nazi salute, watch I'll show you," and then immediately ruining their lives by doing it.

the fact that two mostly unrelated consequences are tied together with "and" in the title had me laughing
I do find it crazy that pcgamer is reporting this, because the rest of the news media has just faceplanted on journalism. Reminds me of the Bush Admin, when Rolling Stone Magazine was one of the only reliable sources of news thanks to the extreme corruption within the major publications.
During the first trump presidency, teen vogue was doing the actual journalism and it was crazy

Rolling Stone was probably the only source of actual journalism during the Iraq Invasion for a time.
Oh the memories.

I mean church in the loosest sense of the word since it was literally only created in 1997 as an offshoot because they didn't like women becoming ordained.

lol! Basically it’s-
Nazi Sympathizer Does Nazi Salute. Watch It Now On X!
I’d say you can’t write shit like this… but here we are, reading an article about a Nazi that links to video of the repugnant act- hosted on a Nazi-run social media platform.
It's hilarious to me to see something actually get a priest kicked out of the Catholic church.
He's not Catholic.
Wouldn’t “Anglican Catholic Church” mean he’s Catholic? (Genuine question!)
The "Anglican Catholic Church" is actually not affiliated with either the holy see (the "actual" Roman Catholic Church) or the Anglican Church (as headed by the Archbishop Canterbury and the King of England).
He joined it because he didn't make the cut to become an actual Anglican Priest because of
concerns about Robinson's "libertarian anti-woke, anti-identity politics, Covid-sceptical" political views and his use of social media, particularly Twitter, to disseminate them."

Not according to the Catholic church. They're not Anglicans according to the Anglican church either.

Angelican usually refers to the Church of England, a Protestant denomination.
"Catholic" usually refers to the Catholicism, a catholic denomination.
Weirdly, it means "universal". It's just used as a short for "Roman-Catholic". The orthodox church is officially the "Orthodox Catholic Church".
Gotcha! I had no clue Anglican was a protestant denomination. TIL!
Need more of this. More pointing out the consequences which exist for anyone but the super rich. More pointing out how we are gaslighted to believe "it's not a Nazi salute".
"While we cannot say what was in Mr. Robinson's heart when he did this, his action appears to have been an attempt to curry favor with certain elements of the American political right by provoking its opposition," reads a statement posted by the Anglican Catholic Church on Wednesday. "Mr. Robinson had been warned that online trolling and other such actions (whether in service of the left or right) are incompatible with a priestly vocation and was told to desist. Clearly, he has not, and as such, his license in this Church has been revoked. He is no longer serving as a priest in the ACC."
