Let’s Prohibit the Swastika as an Avator

[theHawk]

Mods: With antisemitism nearing 1939:Germany right here in America, how about we disallow the swastika as a member’s avator? It is the same as calling doe the extermination of Jews.

Better to let those idiots identify themselves, so they can be mocked.

The swastika is as old as civilization.

But nowadays..it's tarnished. We also used to be able to say GAY AS CAN BE as in happy, but not now. Moot point. No swastkas a avies. If we can't say the N word, others can' hile hitler via a symbol. Fair is fair.

 

[Gracie]

While I'm just fine with rule, have you seen anyone actually doing that here?

yes

Occasionally one of NYC gangster Larry Fay's taxis would be in a old 1930's movie scene, they had swastikas on the car doors; my kids would ask if Nazis owned a cab company in NYC and why they were allowed to.

I don't know if you are aware of it but Coca Cola did support Hitler and the Nazis. Coc Cola, Henry Ford, and Charles Lindbergh were pro-Hitler/Nazis. Officially, the US frowned upon (banned?) Americans from supporting Hitler but Henry Ford donated money and uniforms to the Nazis and Coca Cola managed to avoid the ban for selling their product to Nazxi Germany by creating a new drink under the name of Fanta.

I understand your point but it is illogical. Buddhists still use the Swastika, negroes call each other the N word, and the Flintstones still sing, "We'll have a gay old time!" The string of idiots on this thread who feign indignance to the use of the Swastika are the racists & anti-Semites. Why? Because just as the Swastika has a pure meaning without nazis (Buddhists) so does the word Semite without Jews (Arabs). The Zionists are guilty of selective racism. That is how they managed to establish a "Jewish State". The Zionists are shaming Christians and Moslems which means that the Zionists themselves are the racists.

Sorry, don't know how to shrink the pic sizes.

Don't worry. The message is clear. Condemning the Swastika is a snowflake notion for people with a chip on their shoulder.

If you need them again, use these:

Let’s Prohibit the Swastika as an Avator

Giving the NAZI salute should also be prohibited!

Oh my gosh. I had no idea. I've used those three parentheses for 'hugs' ever since I've used a computer. I won't any more.

It's like the woman who texted all the friends and family that the funeral was set for Saturday at 10 a.m. LOL. Her daughter asked her about the inappropriateness of that LOL. She was horrified when she was told what it meant to most people. She thought it meant lots of love.

The three parentheses around a name has been used for virtual hugs since back in the days of AOL chat rooms.

ASCII text emoticons for Hug that you can copy and paste.

I'm just now learning (like you) that it was "highjacked" by idiots in 2014 for anti-Semitism.

Yes, I know; so did IT&T, IBM, DOW, etc. Many operated in Spain and Sweden and Switzerland. It's why I laugh at right wingers who run around sniveling over the giant multinationals and billionaires having to pay some chump change in taxes; they all play both sides and cater to Red China no end. They're pirate gangs. American subsidiaries made parts for Focke Wulfe aircraft and lots of other stuff for Germany.

Thanks. This is another example of the double standards where Jews are concerned. If we are concerned about offending blacks and thus prohibit the n-word, we should be concerned about offending Jews - especially now, giving the massive rise in antisemitism - and prohibit using the swastika as an avatar.

How do you know thats what they are doing? What if they are hindu?

I've already "outed" myself, but I doubt she means me. I had a swastika on a jackass because I think it appropriately represents the Democrat Party.

That's not the same as "supporting" National SOCIALISM

No, I didn’t mean you. I know what your avatar meant - and it makes sense.

I am talking about the antisemite who has a swastika as his avatar.

You could make the same argument about the Nazi environment on college campuses these days. While you could say that we’ve driven the Jew-haters out of the shadows, the reaction by Democrats is actually telling them that it’s OK.

Why isn’t Schumer speaking up? What not Nadler? What not Jeffries? And why not Biden? They’d be screaming from the mountaintops if this type of racism were against blacks.

People on campus are protesting Israelis committing genocide in Gaza.

Stop acting like you're the victim here... no one is buying it.

People keep saying that, then videos pop up of them saying "we are HAMAS" or "long live oct 7th"
You guys just hate Jews. Everyone knows it.

What does that have to do with the point that the Zionists have killed 40,000 people in Gaza, including 14,000 children?

If all they were doing was protesting there wouldn’t be a story

You dont know who has died. Those numbers come from HAMAS. You cant believe anything coming from gaza or israel. Or at least you shouldnt. Any thinking person knows that.

Right, um, looking at the devastation we are seeing in Gaza, the numbers the PA is reporting are accurate.
