For context that means a guy like this would now be allowed to serve. They check your tattoos when you come in so this doesn’t qualify as a hate symbol now.
Next thing you know they’ll be making this guy Secretary of Defense or something
Clearly the iron cross and confederate flag are allowed already as sad as it is
I am all for reclaiming symbols stolen by fascists, but we all know this is absolutely not what they are getting to.
I once didn’t shave for weeks on a no-shave November. When I finally shaved I decided to see how I would look like with a toothbrush mustache… and I found that it suited me great! (At least I think it did) but I knew i couldn’t have it and I shaved it off.
I wish we could DeNazify that mustache and make it the simple and sometimes whimsical mustache it was in the past.
It would be really great. I HATE shaving that part of my face. Doesn’t matter how well I prep or what razor I use. It always hurts. I don’t like having facial hair but just that would be tolerable.
It wasnt even 24 hours before the the colossal apopcalyptic blowback on this made them reverse their decision.
Now we just have to wonder why they want to make hate symbols okay in the military… I’m sure its totally not anything to do with trying to build a white nationalist military that will gleefull obey illegal orders and slaughter the “other” in the streets at piggy boys command.
It’s cause of the tattoos. Too many Nazis being excluded from the military.
yes, thats basically what i said.
It’s FUCKING DHS only… For some reason they put the Coast guard under the dumbasses at DHS they’re the ones who are trying to not see everything how surprising is that really.
so what was WW2 all about then?
I thought it was all so videogame industries could have material to use.
That’s why we are in need of WW3, so the next call of duty is not a flop like black ops 7
Unfortunately since people tend to have such short memories regarding genocides & atrocities, we seem to need a new world war every few decades to re-terrify everyone back to their sensibilities.
Probably money, like every other war
The fascists in the USA didn’t want the competition. Exactly the same reason behind the American “Revolution”. The oligarchs of North America hated sharing the spoils with the oligarchs of Europe.
It is not divisive and it is a hate symbol.
Genuinely absurd that the most famous symbol of hate isn’t recognized as a symbol of hate.

Never did.
What IS a fucking hate symbol then???
LGBTQ and trans flags
The American flag.
Flown properly, the American flag can be,
That is the farthest thing from a hate symbol you could find.
An upside down national flag is a sign of distress which means you care enough about your nation to consider the current moment as an aboration from the norm.
I don’t know if the swastikas adorning the flag are meant as a sign of respect though
No they’re intentional disrespect implying the us is in distress because of nazi-esk authoritarianism and xenophobia.
I must be Peacemaker, I missed that
I don’t know if the stand up sign in front is a response, or they are meant to be shown jointly. But either way, you’re right. Have to care about a place to admit when it’s in distress, which we currently are.
It’s a work in progress.
I added the Faux Nooz sign after someone tried to paint over the flag. I caught them mid-day painting over it with white paint. My short but heated conversation with them indicated they were watching WAY to much propaganda. I always escalate when confronted.
I changed the stars.
Yeah that still means you care enough about the country to go out of your way to say it’s in distress and why.
Yes, I care and I’m doing SOMETHING.
So it’s not hate it’s love for your country enough that you spent time and money on paint to make a statement about it.
Could anyone explain the significance of the flipped ATV and mannequin legs sticking up in front of the flag? The message is lost on me.
The ATV was already there. I purchased it USED from the local Polaris dealer for about half price ($3,000). I make the mistake of buying it in the winter when I could not use it for what I bought it for. In the spring I discovered that it had no power to go over 10 mph. I went back to the dealer and he said “Your 3 month guarantee is up”. I then tried rebuilding the carb for this altitude, I rodded the muffler to make sure it was not restricted, I then did a compression test that showed me the piston and cylinder were shot. The Polaris dealer refused to refund my money so I put it in the front yard and turned it upside down. It looked a bit “dark” to me so I added some legs sticking out. The local police were friends with the Polaris dealer so the Chief of Police came to my house and told me I had to remove it. He said it was a “distraction” and he would blame ME if there was a car accident nearby. The next day I took an ad out in the local paper “ATV Art for sale by leading ATV artist. Police say “It has to go” so my loss is your gain. Price reduced from $54,000.00 down to $12,345.67.”
A person in town offered to help me. He also had a run in with the police here. The deal was he would write a check to BUY the art BUT the “Art” had to stay there. My part was to not cash the check but to show the police that I did sell it but the condition of the sale is it cannot move. So the Police now get to decide if I am in business or not. So there it stays.
The Faux Nooz sign I added after someone tried to paint over my flag IN BROAD DAYLIGH. The short conversation I had with them indicated they were getting way too much propaganda so it seems like a work in progress
thank you for your service

Faux news.
According to these Nazis.
I think I was trying to suggest something about the duality of man, sir.
A peace sign
Soon the peace gesture with your 2 fingers will be considered an ANTIFA symbol and warrant immediate deportation.
How about half a peace sign?
That’s also an Antifa sign to show displeasure, but it’s more offensive, so they just shoot you dead.
The Mexican flag, probably.
A rainbow swastika (for whatever the fuck reason that would ever exist), that is where the line is it seems.
Until I see it from an alternate source, I’m calling bullshit on this one. It sounds like bullshit.
It’s real but getting rolled back
Combine this policy with declaring anti-fascists as terrorists, and I think a pattern is emerging here.
Oh for a moment there I was beginning to doubt the direction of USA.
Well I guess it’s still full steam ahead to dismantle democracy and introduce an authoritarian dictatorship.
Ah, a potentially divisive hand gesture, inscrutable, controversial and puzzling. What on Earth could it mean?
He’s just really happy to be here
Twice!
Brief anecdote. In school, we used to draw swastikas on everything in order to get others in trouble or to make ourselves seem like assholes. At no point did we consider what we were doing ok, it was just kids riding the edge of something they couldn’t understand for the sake of ignominy. Even we, as ignorant as we were, recognized that the swastika was a hate symbol and thoroughly unacceptable, we were, again, just assholes.
I’ve been saying this quite a lot but this culture war bodes poorly.
On a similar tangent, I find hilarity in poorly drawn swastikas - or to use an entertaining but horrendously ablest term, a spastika.
I make no apology for equating the sort of dickhead that scrawls this shit everywhere in adult life with the sort of clueless fuckwit that tests sockets with a fork, and couldn’t pour water out of a boot even if the instructions were on the soles.
I don’t often like punching down on the lesser-intellectual folk (mainly because I’m dumb as rocks for 23 hours of the day myself) but this is one of the few times I enjoy the opportunity.
Damn been awhile since I’ve thought about a good old Hale Hortler. Thanks for reminding me that while I might be stupid I at least am better than these fuckwits.
THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNTIED STATES IS CALLING FOR LAWMAKERS TO BE EXECUTED FOR UPHOLDING THE LAW! WTF IS GOING TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS SHIT?
Take a broom up to the hill and sweep up.
NOTHING AT ALL THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE EITHER CONTENT WITH THIS OR TOO COWARDLY TO DO ANYTHING!
