This ia huge clickbait sadly. It's some random small oktoberfest, where some drunken germans maybe doing the Hitler greeting.
I'm not saying it's okay what they do, but by far not world news. This would be maximum local news if at all.
Well they are also playing "Erika" which is a right wing dog whistle, though maybe not as uncommon in these circles, as outright Nazi salutes
Edit: Also curiously most people, myself included, never find themselves in danger of accidentally heil hitlering even when blackout drunk. Seems to become a more common occurrence in Saxony though.
I wish i could extinguish every trace of fascism in every aspect of reality. I really do. Stupid Nazis are hindering me from enjoying old german folk songs without being judged :(
According to celebrated socialist writer Maxim Gorgi, one just has to get rid of all the homosexuals in order to get rid of fascism.
Not cool.
I personally think all forms of totalitarianism breed corruption.
Well I'm thinking the same, but then I'm not sure where to put this video (ignoring the sound track) on a scale from drunken singing to obvious Nazi salute.
Maybe i don't know enough about Bierzelt culture. If they were singing Hölle, hölle, hölle or Atemlos, would you notice the (right) arm in the air? The arm movement seems unnatural (if the intention was signing with arms in the air), but this could still sort-of pass as not 100% Heil Hitler.
The band chose the song, for sure, that's questionable. The event organisers should not allow this to happen. But the guests, should they leave? Sit down quietly and wait for the next song?
I could be in that tent and not recognise the song. Not my kind of music.
I could see people innocently copying the movement of others. It may be a tent full of Nazis, scary, but the video does not proof this.

Did we watch the same video? In the Twitter thread I saw the lady right in front was doing multiple Nazi salutes in a row, very excited about the song. Don't think there's any ambiguity what she was doing
The implication of whining about click bait on this post which is no worse than anything else, is Nazi sympathizing. That's why this post is different.
Lol more downvotes please! Let's not pretend we left the Nazis, sympathizers and troll farms on Reddit!
One doesn't have to publicly criticise literally everything before criticizing this. That's ridiculous.
Why were you complaining about the comment? Aren't there more important problems to worry about, like world hunger and world peace, or the invasion of UA?
Well, if nothing else, I admire your confidence. Assuming it's not just stupidity masquerading.
You came out of the gate hot for no reason. So either you have to self awareness of your average hexbear user, or you're intentionally trying to stir the pot.
Would have been more prudent to say nothing. Oh I know, I know. "Oh, well why don't you heed your own advice?" Problem is, you already fucked this conversation, and while I have no problem with sloppy seconds, I'll not hold my tongue for them.
I "fucked the conversation" by questioning what was special about this purported click bait as opposed to others? That's a pretty strong reaction to something so mundane.
So it wasn't my choice of words (when I "came in hot") and you're bothered by my questioning op's motivation for picking on this headline?
(To make sure my comment was clear... why this article vs the entire rest of the Internet, nearly 100% of articles of which are NOT legitimate stories about actual literal Nazis?)
Did I trigger a bunch of Nazis or something? Why is it controversial to question the motive.. just at all question, let alone persecute.. of using this article of all articles, to pull out the soapbox? Was ops history littered with similar comments about a variety of clickbait including clickbait that was criticism of the left? If that's the case, then I'm wrong and Op didn't just happen to take issue with the anti Nazi sentiment, Op truly hates clickbait. But this isn't a gray area. At best it's a dog whistle. Literally , neither of our opinions or feelings matter here.. Either op always vents about clickbait or only vented about the "clickbait" that legitimately called out real life Nazis.
There's a lot of me in your comments where I asked in earnest for substance about the subject matter.
(and I wouldn't have told you to need your own advice bc this is literally a forum, and it is by definition of significance where one (op) comments.. bc that's literally what this is. A place to comment)
