At one time right-wingers and fascists could be recognised by their giving the Roman salute (also known as the fascist salute. Ed.) or Nazi salute.
In the former the right hand is swung from the left shoulder to fully extend the right arm forward perpendicular to the torso, with palm down, and fingers touching. In some versions, the arm is raised upward at an angle; in others, it is held out parallel to the ground. In the latter the salute is performed by raising and extending the right arm forward at an upward angle with a straightened hand, fingers together, and palm facing downward.
In recent times, however, it appears these two traditional gestures of the far right have been superseded by another that is popular amongst populists – the thumbs-up signal, as demonstrated when they dined in Florida at the weekend by the disgraced 45th and current disgraceful 47th President of the United States, adjudicated sexual predator, condemned business fraudster, convicted felon and compulsive liar, one Donald John Trump (who is on a personal quest to Make America Grate Again or something similar. Ed.) and the part-time dishonourable member of parliament for Clacton, a grifter and charlatan rejoicing in the name of Nigel Paul Farage.
Farage’s trip has drawn plenty of adverse criticism, including from Lib Dem leader Ed Davey: “I see Farage is off to Mar-a-Lago to talk down Britain and suck up to Trump. There’s nothing patriotic about cheering on a foreign leader whose illegal war is sending British families’ energy bills through the roof.“
For those who bemoan modernisation, there are plenty of those out there on the right who still prefer tradition, like Elon Musk.
