A person’s beliefs and ideology are what define them as a Nazi, not a single action taken out of context. While it’s easy to interpret gestures or actions through the lens of our own biases, this approach risks unfairly attributing malicious intent where none exists. Context matters. Simply performing an action that may resemble a particular salute does not automatically align someone with the beliefs or values historically associated with that gesture. Judging someone solely on a perceived similarity to a symbolic act undermines the importance of intent and evidence in forming fair conclusions

That should be pretty clear to most. Makes a good news story though!
