Imagine giving your money to anarchists and then you get scammed. They have a hate symbol on their site, LOL.

> They have a hate symbol on their site, LOL. Care to elaborate? I see one graphic on the 3ac website, and it's not one I'm familiar with so I assume it's a corp logo?

  I think the GP is claiming that the 3AC logo is a reference to the Three Arrows[1] logo, which was used by the SPD in Weimar Germany and by some flavors of contemporary anarchists. But I can't find any evidence that it's an intended reference, and they look pretty different to me (different colors and directions; the only similarity is that they both happen to have arrows).

    I don't get the hate part. There was about a single competing party who would have used that attribute, and this one proceeded to ban the associated party and to open the very first concentration camps for social democrats. We probably all know how things went from there.

      Correct. They weren't a hate group, and the groups that currently use their symbology also aren't hate groups. I think the GP is probably misinformed.

        They are indeed hate groups, it's a hate symbol, thanks for playing!

        The SDP was and is a center-left party. You can look their platform up today, and confirm that it is neither historically nor currently hateful. Their existence during the 1920s and 1930s was primarily defined in opposition to both further left and further right political movements. (There's also no one modern group using the Three Arrows. It's a general symbol of the left, like the wildcat or the "A." It's not even clear who they'd be a "hate group" against.)

Words don't have any meaning anymore, so they mean whatever someone wants them to mean, so everything is true.

        Symbol was noted and observed by law enforcement during the 2020 terror.

        Just a reminder that terror is commonly known as a strategy to inject fear and tensions into a society with the goal of implementing a more restrictive/authoritarian framework or a revolutionary change of the principal organization of society. Protests for enforcing established rights don't fit this concept, even, if they should happen to derail at some point. Also, various symbols associated to the GOP were observed in the context of the January 6th incident. So are these all hate symbols? Certainly not and every such notion is utter nonsense. Attributing meaning by incidental association is not how it works.
