    It’s very disturbing because it’s creeping acceptance by massaging the message over time.

    First a billionaire makes the salute

    Then you get everyone to debate it

    Then everyone associates it less and less to nazism

    Then it’s just a gesture billionaires do

    Then it’s just a gesture

    Then it becomes more common

    Then it becomes normal
