Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

You are comparing something that is widely prevalent in Nazism (a swastika, FAMOUS symbolism) to something that most people couldn't identify with a gun to their head. Not the same context.
Weird, seems to me most people in this thread saw it and said "oh hey, isn't that a Nazi symbol?" so I'll have to agree to disagree on that one, coach.
Not to mention, the context here is also not being plastered on someone known for their devout Christianity or obsession with history or historic symbology.
Yet no one can explain or provide a shred of evidence supporting that.
I think, with how quickly you responded, you may have missed the addendum I edited into my comment shortly after posting.
It unfairly makes your comment look like you completely ignored it, so felt I should bring your attention to it. My b.
Try googling those symbols and see how much actual nazi\neonazi shit you find.. because it isn't much. Opinions and facts are not the same.
Ah, so we are ignoring that bit about context. In that case:
Wikipedia source
Ah, there we go, someone actually knows how to find evidence for their argument. Good job.
...okay, I'm going to go ahead and block you now. Welcome to Lemmy, btw.
Good.
You're just defending nazis
No, I'm explaining the history of a symbol that SUPPOSEDLY is related to modern Neo Nazi's... which so far no one has provided a shred of evidence to support that. /shrug
It's amazing how many of you don't read the conversation or just assume everything is in bad faith.
Damn. You're still defending the neo nazis?
Let it go already.
you know if you actually read the entire Wikipedia article that he had linked earlier you would see that like 99.5% of that article is about the Christian history of the symbol versus a paragraph that vaguely references some modern white nationalist usage and even the Anti-Defamation League doesn't recognize it as a symbol of hate.
You guys jump to conclusions way too quickly.
