“The Nazi Totenkopf is one very specific graphic design of a skull and crossbones,” Pitcavage says. “And the monkey skull resembles it in no way except insofar as all skulls resemble each other to a certain degree.”

Pitcavage also points out that the Nazis were by no means the first to adopt the Totenkopf — and, in fact, the version used by the Waffen-SS (the combat branch of the Nazi party’s SS organization) predates the Nazi party entirely. “It dates back to the Prussian military, way before Adolf Hitler was even born,” he says.

      And I mean, just look at their “art”, it’s very reminiscent of Siminization and old school racist depictions of blacks as monkeys to dehumanize them, just as the nazis did for Jews and rats.

      Holy shit those fuckin apes are uncomfortable to look at, if that's true and the reason why that's extremely fucked up.

        There was a point where I was gathering up crypto wallet addresses from fash forums and browsing the blockchains for transactions. With the amount of money flowing through that network, I have no doubt that there are some militias and propaganda networks who are sustaining funding from the NFT “boom”

          this is a very good project and I hope you have all that saved somewhere.

          some of those fash idiots are going to wind up running for office or trying to infilitrate orgs in 10 years and still be using the same crypto wallets.
