Of course Nazis don't think the Nazi symbol is a hate symbol.
That would be like me saying the weed leaf image is a hate symbol.
"Divisive."
I mean, COME ON guys, lets just meet halfway. They wear swastikas and SS uniforms, and you don't complain anymore, it's called COMPROMISE.
"Don't you see? Those people find civil rights offensive too! Why don't we just compromise and only call klan hoods "divisive" rather than "hateful." That will solve the issue!"
So this one is fine then ? https://www.bhamwiki.com/w/File:Banksy_hanged_klansman.png
How long before this becomes the official flag of the United States?
"Opinion is divided on the subject. All the other captains say it is. I say it isn't."
Good! MORE Swastikas LESS Rainbows!
-NOT Nazis!
They’re not “proto-fascists” anymore you naive lemmyworlders.
How else are they going to hire people? Most guys that want to sign up are all tatted with these symbols.
They didn't go so far to include the Confederate flag yet. I guess that hits closer to home still, even though the two can sometimes be seen together.
The sign of a true idiot is when they fly either of these beside the US flag.
It is not divisive and it is a hate symbol.
This will be changed after Trump is removed.
I actually don't think Trump is behind this one. hear me out:
there are two factions emerging within MAGA. the Evangelicals and MAGA-leaning neocons are heavily Zionist, so there's no way they'd let this happen. the second faction are the alt-right/groypers/white nationalists, who simp for Nick Fuentes and Laura Loomer. Gen Z belongs overwhelmingly to this second camp, as illustrated by the Young Republicans discord leak.
Trump himself has no political views other than his own power and personal vengeance, but I'd still put him closer to the first camp since he's a Boomer, and he's in Bibi's pocket. so I think whoever pushed for this is probably part of the same cabal that posts Nazi dogwhistles on DHS's Twitter - part of the second camp.
and that second camp will become the future of the Republican party, unfortunately.
If you read between the lines, this is the clearest sign to date how much they're struggling with recruiting for the armed forces.
