what did they mean by this?
I know this has been said about white supremacists before, but why do they always look like the same reedy white boy or balding middle aged man that shaved all his head off during a mid life crisis?
what’s particularly ironic is that everyone in these pictures are slavic peoples who the nazis considered “untermensch” to be exterminated. Truly bleak that there are slavic nazis.
“It’s not a swastika, bro. It’s a black sun that’s totally different, bro. Brrrrooooooooooo”
the swastika is a wolfsangel
the nazis drew what they intended to be a stylised wolfsangel it was the British who recognised it as an Indian symbol. Germany not having at that point much interaction with India and the Nazis weren’t exactly curious about other cultures
I never met any anarchist that gives a shit about pedantry over what runes the nazis are using.
Met a lot of liberals like that though.
Unless you’re German, you have studied history, or you’re a committed antifascist then if you know what a Wolfsangel is, you get all of my suspicion.
I honestly suspect this person is a fascist who is larping, although I haven’t seen any of their other comments so weigh that accordingly but if you know what a Wolfsangel is then you almost certainly know what it represents and who used it so using your knowledge of it as a defence doesn’t line up imo.
I’m pretty sad, I used to draw that symbol all the time on my papers and stuff as a kid and have always wondered if it was some kinda rune or something. Turns out its used by Nazis, neo and otherwise. 😮💨
Objectively, in my subjective opinion, it’s a cool looking symbol. And so is the swastika. (Cancel me now!)
There’s no minor coincidence that cool looking symbols that are simple enough to write/carve/etch became embedded in historical traditions and what you did as a kid is probably where a lot of runes and other symbols started from as well.
It’s just a shame that fascists coopt this shit and ruin it for everyone. Take heart at the fact that we are fighting for a world where, some day long into the future, these symbols will be able to be used again (ignoring the fact that the swastika is commonplace in the east in Hinduism, Jainism, and Buddhism for argument’s sake lol) without there being anything besides a historical factoid that some nerd will drop to mention that these symbols were associated with this political phenomenon that was called “fascism”, because fascists themselves will be little more than a historical footnote.
