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 :(

Should be easy to catch and jail them, if photos and videos are being taken all over the event.
Germany should learn how Americans were able to catch so many Nazis during the Jan 6th insurrection. 😂

In Saxony. Unfortunately I'm not even surprised anymore.
That was a disappointing Where's ~~Waldo~~ the Nazi. Everyone is either clapping or some shit. Waste of time. At least the dude with the roasted chicken for a hat was fun. 1/5 don't recommend.
I also stared at the picture for way too long before realizing there was a video down below.
"Where's ~~Waldo~~ the Nazi." I almost spit out my water. 🤣
Proud neo-nazis or drunk idiots?
If you’re a drunk idiot “jokingly” doing nazi salutes as an adult in Germany, you’re just being a nazi. At best nazi-adjacent.
I think you're severely underestimating how stupid some people can be without malicious intent. Not that I'm justifying their behavior in any way, but it's possible they're just really stupid.
And I think you are underestimating how much of a deeply ingrained taboo the nazi salute is for the typical German. You are right, some people can be very stupid, especially drunk. But no German who has not been in some way socilized among nazis would be stupid enough to ever casually do a nazi salute. You just don't do it.
The only exception I might allow besides actual nazis are very stupid or drunk (or both) teenagers trying too hard to be edgy. And even then most people would find it hard to believe that they're not at least right leaning.
Being really stupid is a requirement for being a Neo-Nazi. Stupidity is not an excuse.
There is no "nazi but just ironically"
