    He just can’t stop can he. I’m 69 replies deep with that loser in a different thread.

    If you see people claiming to be Germans but they’re not posting from a .de instance you can be 100% they’re Nazis.

      Ackshually, he's just Nazi-Adjacent, not an actual Nazi

      Did you even read the article he posted which is just a link to a wikipedia hosted image of the hammer and sickle with the implication that it is a swastika?

      Or any of the ones after that?

      Obviously, he's just a normal, totally non-facist anti-communist

    All they did was change their flag from one symbol widely used by neo-Nazis to another symbol widely used by neo-Nazis. Why do you tankies keep calling them neo-Nazis?!

    Actually, it is the Nuosu word for "foot", as written in the Yi syllabary invented in 1974.

    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.

      Yeah this guy is not an anarchist, he's a german green voter that will bring up shit like the teutonic order or germanic tribes and shit which either means he's an actual fash or an unscratched liberal that plays too many Paradox games.

      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.

    These people ffs, I had one argument with this Finnish liberal on how linked their country was with nazism, literally I show this guy swatiska's were lobbed by eric von rosen, a nazi politican, and this dick came out with a "nuh uh, its a Sanskrit". This guy its just another fascist.

      berdly-actually Actually, Finland used the swastika not as a Nazi symbol at all, but in honour of the favourite emblem of a generous man who donated the airplanes that established the Finnish airforce in the 1930's!

      Please do not ask questions about that man's nationality or political affiliation during that decade.

        How about literally joining Azov?

        Due to the lack of a massive organization, the first [Ukrainian] anarchist and anti-fascist volunteers went to war individually as single fighters, military medics, and volunteers. They tried to form their own squad, but due to lack of knowledge and resources, this attempt was unsuccessful. Some people even joined the Azov battalion and the OUN (Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists). The reasons were mundane: they joined the most accessible troops. Consequently, some people converted to right-wing politics.

        😳

          The reasons were mundane:

          Mundane would be refusing to eat because you had just brushed your teeth, not "eh, guess I'll join these Nazis." Not to mention given the fact they live in Ukraine and are supposedly anarchists they'd be aware of all the shelling in East Ukraine going on all those years, and all the Nazi punks in the various ranks of military and police. You know, they'd have been against them before the Russian military operation....

    Lmao, that shit looks like how I used to write the roman letter Chi for the Chi square in my statistics class until a friend asked me why the fuck I had swastikas all over my homework.

        In statistics, when used on the chi square, chi is wrote like this

        *removed externally hosted image*

        x is already overused all over the place, imagine writing x^2 to talk about the chi square.

    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 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.
