A seig heil is an open declaration. That was a clear, mask-off moment and denying it is a joke. You’re moving the goal posts.
And sure, they’ll deny it, but that’s because they’re lying liars who love to lie. They don’t lie because they think anyone will believe them, they lie because they think it’s funny. They love to make people mad by lying to their faces. It’s like the Sartre quote:
“Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play."
The denial is literally a joke. The joke is serious too, of course, because that’s how Nazis always are. They’re always joking and serious at the same time, and they can freely switch between being serious and joking around as it pleases them. They take the mask off and put it back on for fun.
But they aren’t being censored. Wasn’t that your original point? That censorship makes them stronger? But, they aren’t censored.

Ah… so you admit they deny being nazis?
I agree, they love to keep the mask on.
My point was that this is on their benefit.
As an antifascist, I want them to openly admit they are nazis so that their lies can be exposed.
Their lies not being exposed protects them. Hiding is a form of protection, truth and transparency is a great antifa tool.
