'Are you a neo-Nazi?' No-one here knows, but you certainly sound like one. The swastika carries a very potent and toxic meaning today that it didn't until the last century or so. If you think symbolism and language are namby pamby liberal constructs with no inherent meaning, I'd encourage you to spray paint one on your house or have one tattooed on your forehead and see if the people you encounter as a result share your disdain for 'political correctness'.
I doubt you are a neo-Nazi. But words have meaning, and while this may just be an abstract game of righteous keyboard warfare to you, perhaps if you have an issue with the objectivity or accuracy of the media it would be best to say that plainly. Code words and innuendo directed at other members of your clique won't convince anyone and may well offend people with a better grasp on history (though that was likely your intention).
- berry_sortoro 10y agoI sound like one for the use of a world in a modern completely different context then the Nazis did? In fact much of the modern world is very Fascist, and I am against that. But thanks for being the poster child for exactly of that mindset I meant. I like the word because I am for one German, and I agree with its general meaning in this modern age in regards to MSM. And I will continue to use it. The swastika is a very beautiful spiritual symbol used in India and all over the world. What are you trying to say? That its great how society tainted it to be never to be used again because some idiot used it for his sick crap in the past? Why use Autobahn then to drive cars on, Hitler build them they are pure evil you MUST NOT TOUCH EVER! You use the fact that most people will not get any other use then to display allegiance to nazis (at least in most places, no idea about India and other places like that TBH) as a argument? This is a the very way of thinking I hate. In fact it should be possible to use it (in steet art, on your house-wall, on your forehead ...). But people like to be slaves to their own minds, and they even like it. Its pathetic. Oh I you think I use it as a "Code Word" thats funny. Not at all but think what you like. And here I thought there would be some intelligent ppl on MH. Did you have a public crying thread around here when Hillary lost? lol (Not a Trump supporter BTW)
- openasocket 10y agoYou can tattoo a swastika on your forehead if you want. That's perfectly legal in the US. But I, and most people, will assume you're a neo-nazi. You can tell me and everyone you meet how that assumption is wrong, but that will be their initial impression regardless. Do with that information what you will.
- berry_sortoro 10y agoFor one I don't live in the US and I would have tremendous respect for anyone who would actually do this without being a nazi, trying to break the conditioning. A beautiful women with an nice artistic face tattoo should do it, that could work I guess. In Germany you need to be very crazy to do this, here you are legally forbidden to question anything about the Holocaust, I am not speaking of denial here, I speak of actually presenting any sort of evidence to a court. If you question anything about whats written in history books, lets say the number of Jews killed by the Nazis you are going to jail without a trail. You will be not allowed to submit anything to court. If you not blindly believe anything they tell you, your a criminal. You are not allowed to question anything about it at all. Now imagine how people react of you have a swastika on your head. Its probably illegal, I don't know but things are that crazy here. Swastikas were removed from video games where you actually fight the Nazis! People are crazy. What is called conservative in the US and is perfectly normal for you, is called far right here. The political mid here what you call radical left. So in Germany's PC think I might actually be a Nazi.
