- lamontcg 4y agoStanning for the swastika is one of the weirdest modern internet fetishes.
- hutzlibu 4y ago"The context is clear all around though" Then why make this generalised statement? " I can't see what other meaning today it could have?" Because I know people who are into germanic livestyle and they are NOT nazis, but they would like to use that old symbol freely. So that is one counterexample. There are people today who use the swastika who explicitley do not refer to the nazis. But like I said, when people like kayne use the swastika, their meaning is very clear and different.
- encryptluks2 4y agoShould we be burning school books and cancelling movies about the Holocaust because they have swastikas? Like it or not it is free speech and shouldn't be banned.
- shadowgovt 4y agoI'd stand against a government doing that. If an individual book owner decides to have a backyard barbecue of all their pro-Nazi propaganda or an individual theater owner doesn't feel comfortable running Jojo Rabbit, that's up to them.
- encryptluks2 4y agoYes, but when they claim to support free speech and then turn around and do the opposite it is best to call them out on it. The reason for my hyperbole response was because here we are talking about Twitter and free speech, and some people are avidly in support of banning things and people they don't like.
- shadowgovt 4y agoWithin the law, Twitter is well within their rights to ban things and people Musk doesn't like.
