the swastika was left alone until hitler used it

sounds like a pretty spooky belief to me

I suggest you think that one out.

no whats spooky is thinking that shitting on a political symbol is literally cultural erasure

"shitting on"?

it's banned, they are removing statues of slave owners.

its not banned you dumb cunt, they literally fly it everywhere

of course anderson cooper was supported by slavery inheritance, but they don't seem to care about that.

banning the sale of the symbol is a lighter form of an outright ban, sure. but it has the same effect in the long term.

if it's illegal to sell, then producers will not make them. then they dwindle away

yeah again this really is just not even close to the cultural erasure you're pretending it is

the flag was barely in use after the civil war anyway until it became a symbol of pro-segregation and anti-integration

okay yeah the confederate flag has absolutely nothing to do with culture, you're right. it actually has much more to do with space aliens and gardening.

no it actually has to do with opposition to school integration

are you retarded?

I'm not making this up

google it

that's what YOU want to make it about. it's a symbol, which means it's open for interpretation. but what isn't debatable is that it's a symbol of a culture.

what do you think the swastika is a symbol of (hitler's swastika)?

no

its actually what the south wanted to make it about

because they flew it at george wallace rallies, ant-integration rallies, etc

and your avatar is a communist flag being hoisted after conquering and murdering the germans ???? is that what communism is about?

hammer and sickle was around and was/has been used by communist groups around the world

the soviet union was one of them

the confederate flag is actually used all around the world, believe it or not.

that's not the same as taking an old cultural artifact and rehabilitating it in the shape of your ideology

you seem to have some very different standards for "things you like" versus "things you don't like"

violence is okay if my side does it!

symbols linked to genocide are okay as long as they're my side's symbols!

the hammer and sickle was created and used for all of its entire existence to stand for worker/peasant solidarity and the overthrow of capitalism

the rebel flag was originally created as a flag for the southern army, then was later made into a symbol of anti-integration

LOL

and the swastika had a more peaceful original meaning as well!

you're proving my point.

How many of you care about the Seth Rich assassination and ensuing investigation?

the swastika is literally still used in eastern religion

lol Seth Green

Seth Rich, and no not really.

Wait
