You are factually correct, this symbol is not exactly the same as the kekistan symbols. But it is pretty damn close wouldn’t you say? Enough that someone could easily mistake the two.

March with Nazis, you’re a Nazi. Sorry, I don’t make the rules.

The problem with that thinking is that leaving the symbols in gives them something to rally behind. They’ll see it as tacit support from what ever company is doing it. It’s the same thing you see with Nazi Captain America using Thor’s hammer in the comics. These shitstains latch on to the symbolism and rally behind…

I meant more “The numbers you are saying” - I still think they are a bit low, but regardless that’s not super important. I whole heartedly agree with condemning the aforementioned people.

Uh huh.

And at what point is a symbol a group uses sufficient enough to be considered a symbol for that group? Like yes, I get the point that a cartoon frog is a stupid symbol. But when I see the harassment, the death threats, the doxing, etc from legions of people with Pepe and/or kek-style avatars - it’s not hard for me to…

Yes! If someones idea of fun is dressing up like people who’ve murdered millions and joining a march with other people who actually agree with the people who murdered millions - well functionally the people playing pretend for fun are no different from the supporters.

Right? Seriously it’s just a good idea for any business. Why would you want to have a symbol in your product or possibly inadvertently support nazis? And when they are innocuous things like the number 88 or 14.. it’s hard to know what is where. The only recourse is to accept it when someone points it out to you,…

It used to be harder to argue against this shit - but then the Actual Honest To God Nazis marched with guns, torches, seig hiels, pepe memes, kekistan memes, and some of them beat the shit out of people and others ran down counter protesters and murdered them with their car. It went from the realm of dog whistles and…

Well, I think your number might be a bit low - but sure. Let’s condemn white supremacists, nazis, and the symbols they use as promoting hate. Cool? Cool. Good talk.

Man, you guys are dangerous.

I’m not the one comparing the entire right to the people marching in the street with guns, nazi flags, hitler salutes, pepe, and murdering counter protesters with cars. In fact, my definition is pretty narrow - it’s not my fault that so many people on the right have decided that these things are ok.

I’d say the real nazis are the nazis? You know, the ones wearing pepe gear and marching with guns, nazi flags, hitler salutes, and driving over counter protesters?

When nazis are marching in the streets wearing kekistan flags - it stops being a joke and starts being an actual symbol that nazis are using. You know, because the nazis are using it.

So, right wing news sites aside - most articles are saying that “There is no evidence that the shooting was politically motivated”. Also, from your link:

There are way too damn many symbols the nazis are using these days. It’d be easy enough to see something and think it looked cool without realizing the context (and that’s kinda the point - the nazis are doing it intentionally). But hey, props to bungie for having it pointed out to them and changing it rather then…

So uhh, here’s the thing. If a racist hate group is using symbols - even if those symbols are specifically for fucking with journalists - it’s still their symbol. They are literally using a symbol to identify themselves - that’s what symbols are.

Hey my friend if uhh.. if you want no more politics please perhaps please don’t randomly post about political stuff?

I’m equating being refused service at Chick-fil-A with being refused service at whites only restaurants. They seem pretty close from where I’m standing.

Racial segregation was certainly a self correcting problem, right? The market fixed that right up!
