Not to mention copies of the Mein Kampf, etc.
Thankfully, the various non-Nazi uses of the swastika appear to be the most popular, but you can find plenty of Nazi items. I dislike the meaning of both symbols, so I have a hard time imagining any logic where it's okay to sell one of them but not the other.
- SixSigma 11y ago9front, a fork of plan9, includes Mein Kampf in the distribution as a kind of trolling canary. We only burn the bad books, right?
- tomjen3 11y agoThey probably also sell the soviet flag, copies of Das Capital etc. Equally horrible but for the other side. Also side note: reading Mein Kampf doesn't make you a nazi, indeed if more people had read it back in the day somebody might have stooped that little corporal.
- lmartel 11y agoOh, then you're right, this is definitely less okay. I was under the impression that they just stopped delivering them from Walmart (or wherever) via Shopping Express, rather than special-casing the search results. I guess the argument one could make is that the confederate flag is more dangerous and relevant today, but I don't really buy that. Occam's razor suggests this is just an easy PR grab. They get a few headlines in mainstream tech press for free, and very minor backlash from "free speech nutjubs" as the only downside.
