"The carried a banner that said “It is right to rebel, go to hell,” with an inverted red triangle on it, which has come to signify support for on social media because the terror group uses the symbol in videos of its attacks. The student demonstrators repeatedly formed inverted triangles with their hands, flashing the symbol at the counter-protesters. Another protester brandished a banner that had a inside a Star of David while shouting: “ of Satan.”

The pro- , anti- demonstrators chanted “From to , globalize the ,” and “Hillel, Hillel, what do you say? How many kids did you kill today?”

The New York Times is not an unbiased fount of information, but a sophisticated ideological weapon. Our goal is to unmask the Times and expose the paper for what it is: a tool of empire encased in a liberal veneer.

This might help explain the #Crossword #Controversies.

I saw this when it happened, and not ONLY did the puzzle resemble a #swastika, one of the words was #Boxcars. AND this was on the start of #Hanukkah.

A client couldn't be dissuaded from adding the #X logo to their website. This is the first time I've had to make the professional decision to flat-out refuse to work on a task and declare myself a conscientious objector.

The #X logo bears way too much resemblance to a , both in its design and underlying philosophy, and I refuse to be a part of spreading that symbol.

I think a lot about all the Germans who didn't personally commit any atrocities, but were perfectly fine painting swastikas on all the buildings and vehicles around town when instructed by their bosses.

A #reminder!

Worth noting, this is actually more #Nazi than the #swastika itself, which has significance to #Buddhists, #Hindus, #Slavs, #Balts, and others that massively predate its appropriation by #fascists.

This thing, by contrast, has only one meaning.

«Laws banning the #Nazi salute & the display/sale of symbols associated w/ #terror groups came into effect in #Australia on Monday as the government responds to a rise in antisemitic incidents following the Israel-Gaza #war.
The law makes it an offense punishable by up to 12 months in prison to publicly perform the Nazi salute or display the Nazi #swastika or the double-sig rune associated w/ the #Schutzstaffel ( #SS ) paramilitary group.»

Those who cover their cars in #racist #propaganda & drive around looking to generate #controversy are always the dumbest people on the planet. This ass-clown covered his car in barely-legible, pro-#Hamas, pro-#Nazi messaging and iconography, including multiple Nazi swastikas. Except he used the wrong #swastika. The arms of the Nazi swastika point right, but he used the Hindu swastika, in which the arms point left. If you're going to hate, at least get it right.

"Punching Nazis in the face" is an easy thing to say from the comfort of your couch. Have people who talk like that online ever punched Nazis in the face?

I punch #trump supporters wearing #swastika flags from the comfort of my home but I'm not on the couch.

Does that count?

This could be the end of Truth Social

If Trump's holding company doesn't complete a merger with Digital World Acquisition Corporation then they need to liquidate and return $300 million to their investors

The investors?

The same idiots who bought Trump bucks or any of his other grifts

And when truth social folds, guess where they are all going…?

@kristen_d@mastodon.social avatar

@flexghost And I think you’re correct: the name and symbol resembling a #swastika was deliberate. You’ll see it morphed into one eventually, first tilting it, then adding the serifs.

#ElonMusk, like #Trump and #Putin, is drunk on his own ego. This is a game to him.

TWITTER TERMINAL!

Killing the bluebird and slapping an "X" on it, doesn't change the fact that Twitter is terminal.

A far right Fascist still runs the place - the cancer is deep and comes from within!

Twitter rebrands to 'X' as Elon Musk loses iconic bird logo

Musk said the idea of changing the logo to “X” was to “embody the imperfections in us all that make us unique.”

This cruel dumb "candidate" has completely
LOST CONTROL of his messaging from inside or outside.
He/his team are too undereducated to identify NAZI symbols.
Or maybe that’s what they stand for.

The #Swastika is an originally old Indian (Sanskrit) symbol.*
That said, I do not recognize it in the low-res picture of the video.

The militarism displayed would be on-brand for e.g. Nazis, as well as other authoritarian leaders, such as Putin.

In other democratic countries, heads would roll after such a PR disaster; figuratively speaking, of course. 😉
