Let’s Prohibit the Swastika as an Avator

[Vastator]

While I'm just fine with rule, have you seen anyone actually doing that here?

Many years back some dipshit named Cultsmasher did, and was promptly banned...

 

[Votto]

if the ACLU weren’t such a bunch of leftists, they would take this on.

Correct, the ACLU is an appendage of the DNC and the Left. They want all Christians and Jews dead.

What you want is the ACLJ

American Center for Law and Justice

Led by Jay Sekulow, ACLJ Chief Counsel, the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) focuses on constitutional and human rights law worldwide. Based in Washington, D.C., with affiliated offices in Israel, Russia, France, Pakistan, and Zimbabwe, the ACLJ is pro-life and dedicated to the ideal...

I didn't know that.

There are plenty of old online black&white pictures of American Indians with the Swastika adorning their tribal clothes and tee pee's.

 

[braalian]

Like others have said, it’s kind of nice to allow the swastika people to identify themselves so you know who they are

Just like people with white power tattoos help society by publicly identifying themselves

Perhaps Sekolow should take on Dershowitz’ example and offer to represent GW students pro bono.

Yeah, well, that was well before the holocaust, wasn’t it?

It 100% represents Nazism and nothing else now

 

[GLASNOST]

.... The Star of David is a symbol of the Final Solution and its use should be banned.

OK, you Jew-hater.….

You and your ilk are all alike. According to you, everyone is a "Jew-hater". I am a Jew myself, you Islamophobe.

 

[rampart]

So what? Now it stands for the extermination of all Jews.

this is like that "ok" finger sign meaning "white power." it depends on context.

if a krishas adherent is sending me a greeting of peace, i shouldn't fly off the handle and accuse him of running a death camp,

but if a mob of maniacs are carrying rebel flags and swastikas into the capital looking for congesscritters to hang? perhaps i must assume they know what they are symbolizing.

The swastika is only vilified in the US, Canada, and Europe.
The other 3/4 of the world, Africa, Asia, India, South America, etc., has no problem displaying the ancient Swastika good luck symbol.

Swastika = nazi has become universal, regardless of whatever now obscure meaning they used to have

You don’t see native Americans or Hindus or whoever clamoring to “reclaim” the symbol because they know it is now irreversibly linked to the holocaust

The only people I see pushing to rehabilitate the symbol are white guys with zero cultural links to Native American culture. Or Muslims like Sunni Man. Which makes you wonder what their real motive is…

That's news to me.

 

[Zincwarrior]

Haven't seen this one yet...

Speaking of Neo Nazi associated avatars banned in Germany...

True. Or like "thumbs up" between divers signals that he/she is going up to the surface.

 

[Sunni Man]

Swastika = nazi has become universal, regardless of whatever now obscure meaning they used to have

The swastika symbol the Nazi's hijacked to represent their political doctrine isn't "universally" linked to the Jewish so called holocaust.
Far from being an "obscure".
It's an ancient symbol in various culture's that has been around for thousands of years.

 

[GLASNOST]

Only in your paranoid mind that sees nazi's everywhere. ...

Jewish teenagers should not have to walk past Nazis yelling at them to go back to the gas chamber, or be pushed onto the curb because the sidewalk is too good for Jews

An excellent example of your paranoid mind. You think any Jew in a bakery is being exterminated and those are all Jews (not dogs) in the curb.

No, the swastika symbol the Nazi's hijacked to represent their political doctrine isn't "universally" linked to the Jewish so called holocaust.

Why are you fighting so hard to make it an acceptable public symbol again?

Is it because you’re just such a cultured and well read man who’s fascinated by ancient symbology?

Or is it because you hate Jews?

Hmmmmm, I wonder?….

Yes, imagine a Buddhist being forbidden by law to display his symbol for good luck. How about we ban displaying the cross because of the Crusades, the illegal invasion of Irak, African slave ownership, the near extermination of the indigenous Australian population, and the so-calld "ethnic cleansing" of Bosnia?

 

[Sunni Man]

Why are you fighting so hard to make it an acceptable public symbol again?

Because it seems like everyday someone or a group is wanting to ban something.
From flags, to statues, words in our language, etc.
Pretty soon we won't have an American history or culture.
Just a bland people living in a bland country.

 

[Delldude]

With antisemitism nearing 1939:Germany right here in America, how about we disallow the swastika as a member’s avator?

Wouldn't that be denying someones freedom of speech rights?

The swastika is as old as civilization.

Bring back the Confederate flag.

 

[Votto]

Bring back the Confederate flag.

Right, the only people denied free speech are conservatives.
