Let’s Prohibit the Swastika as an Avator

[Vastator]

I think we’re dealing with a potential slippery slope. Ban the swastika and now we’re talking about banning other free speech. Before you know it this will be a heavily moderated board.

If they want to bans the Swats, might as well ban the Uke flag avatars while they're at it, since they support Nazi ideology, and have units steeped in its traditions. Or why not all non US flags while we're at it. This is USMessageboard afterall...

 

[Vastator]

Some poster has it as his avator. Can’t remember his name.

Probably some dumb assed, college age, Leftoid looking to troll, or trying to be edgy...

 

[Jarlaxle]

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…

Wrong.

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.

Lies.

I have a different approach.

I support replacing the avatars of all the Hitler Youth types in this forum with Nazi symbols so they can be identified easily.


It would probably only involve several dozen posters.

That's idiotic.

Mods: With antisemitism nearing 1939:Germany right here in America, how about we disallow the swastika as a member’s avator? It is the same as calling doe the extermination of Jews.

Left handed or right handed ???

You do know that the swastika was used by many cultures before the German NAZIs appropriated it ????

Or do you ???

I had a swastika on a jackass, the symbol of the Democrat Party. Many of us think it is fitting.

A few leftists have used it as an arm band on Donald Trump.

Both these cases are far different from a person using it because they support National SOCIALISM. It's more a warning where they see the country heading.

Should we ban the hammer and sickle because the Russians murdered tens of millions of people heir own citizens or can we use it to mock the ignorant leftists here because that's where their policies are taking us?

I don't get too wrapped up in avatars. People see a thing, and they think they "know" what the presenter is trying to convey. Sometimes they are right. Sometimes they are wrong. But most are so spun up, and prideful, that it just goes right over their heads. I still don't know who this poster is. I've never seen them. It's starting to look like a ploy for attention...

 

[GLASNOST]

Oh that’s interesting. What does have to with white supremacists and their swastikas? Not much

That's EXACTLY what he is saying.

 

[GLASNOST]

My original statement is that those following Nazi ideology in regards to Jews should be identifiable by having swastika avatars

No, that's not what you said. You really are backpeddling. That net must be uncomfortable for you.

 

[Rocko]

That's EXACTLY what he is saying.

. Wrong. He’s a white supremacist downplaying the the bigotry associated with swastikas nowadays and in the past.

You can't "downplay" a multi-century-old symbol (which is still in use) and re-assign it to something entirely different then expect to erase history. Does crossing your fingers mean "hope" or "deceit"?

Who are u kidding? The symbol may have been hijacked, but it has long become a symbol of hate. Your attempts at sanitizing it won’t work.

Sorry? What?

The symbol may have been hijacked, but it has long become a symbol of hate.

Do you know what "a multi-century-old symbol" (still in use) means? It beats "a long time".

Your attempts at sanitizing it won’t work.

There's no "attempt". It's a slam dunk. You've been thoroughly debunked.

 

[Vastator]

Is anyone going to put a name, or names to these posters, who are allegedly flying Swatika avatars? Pages of but-hurt; and yet not a single name. This reeks of a ploy for attention.

 

[GLASNOST]

If they want to bans the Swats, might as well ban the Uke flag avatars while they're at it ...

Agreed.

... since they support Nazi ideology ...

Exactly.

Or why not all non US flags while we're at it. ...

... or even American ones.

How have I been debunked, idiot? I’m saying the swastika is a symbol of hate. It’s been that way for a very long time. The Hindu origin of the symbol is irrelevant, douche bag.

 

[Vastator]

Agreed.

Exactly.

... or even American ones.

Because it's US Messageboard...

 

[GLASNOST]

How have I been debunked, idiot?

Are you asking me or are you asking "idiot"?

I’m saying the swastika is a symbol of hate.

That is false.

It’s been that way for a very long time.

Longer than "multi-century- old"? I think not.

The Hindu origin of the symbol is irrelevant, douche bag.

Who's "douche bag"? Is he the guy who's kicking your azz down the stairs and back up again?

 

[Foxfyre]

I know it wasn’t your attention..you’re one of the good ones!

((( Look up the three parentheses meaning)))

Oh my gosh. I had no idea. I've used those three parentheses for 'hugs' ever since I've used a computer. I won't any more.

It's like the woman who texted all the friends and family that the funeral was set for Saturday at 10 a.m. LOL. Her daughter asked her about the inappropriateness of that LOL. She was horrified when she was told what it meant to most people. She thought it meant lots of love.

Damn... Talk about a shun...
