    Posting a video of soldiers doing the Roman salute and being like haha, I’m sure my fellow lefties will love this.

      Does that have the same connotation in Syria, and does its use predate the Nazis? It might be yikes, but it might also be a cultural difference.

      The salute employed by certain groups and their supporters, like Hezbollah, Fatah,[83] pro-Assad NDF[84] and Assad supporters,[85] the Syrian Social Nationalist Party, and the Kataeb Party,

      That's a pretty wide range, not sure it means anything. Though a couple of those parties seem pretty fucking yikes - especially the SSNP from what I can tell. I'd love for someone who knows more to chime in, though.
