    The swastika is the icing on that fine piece o’cake. 
    Swastika is an ancient symbol.. don't related only with Nazis.. friendly, ok??

    and I say that dude isnt interested in its ancient meaning
    Exactly. I’d say that isn’t your garden-variety, affable swastika.

    I know its history. And I’d be willing to bet the fellow sporting that symbol is a small, hateful (though proud!) man. 
    Thousands of people still use this symbol in Asia @hedonist.. they are not fascists or Nazis..

    which has nothing to do with a 21 yr old white kid no where near Asia or its religions.

    Context is critical. In this context its about bigotry and white supremacy.
    I can’t believe this argument has to even take place. 
    Number of arguments successfully defending the swastika since 1933:  0

    There is no reasonable usage in the esteem world.  The swastika means only one thing today. 
    And blame the Nazis for this, not the symbol..

    I am wondering if you perhaps do not know anyone who had family/friends/associates slaughtered during WWII by the Nazis?
    Specifically people who were not of the Nazi's beloved Master Race?

    This symbol means what it means now.  I think everyone can understand that this is something used in Asia and held/holds many religious implications...but nothing is ever going to distance that symbol from that hate and slaughter.
    Add in the obvious context of Racist Trump and MAGA tattoos....I don't think you should be surprised that people are put off by even the suggestion that this is anything other than a hateful tattoo and person shown in the picture.

    The love he receives is the love that is saved

    And to finish that, at least from my side, it is matter of education to separate symbols from who and why use them..

    Ok, so you have an appreciation for the atrocities committed under that symbol.....I guess I don't understand why anyone would point out what you did when it is clear the person was using the hateful representation of that symbol.
    You were trying to educate people here?

    Interesting. I think if this is the case that you can consistently expect people to react negatively to these types of teaching moments.  
    Perhaps when you are a professor it will be better received.  ;)

    The point is, you'd have to be very daft to not see that individual with those tattoos, and know that they are obviously referring to the Nazi variant. Who do you think you're educating here, and why does it take precedence over condemning morons with swastikas tattooed on themselves for the obvious reason of Nazi support?

    At best, your 'education' in response to the original post is irrelevant, at worst it's a continuation of "many good people on both sides" that Trump helped racists rationalize.

    To see the use of that fucking symbol by that proud pissant and offer a “yes, but...” strikes me as obtuse. Or willfully blind.

    Believe it, espouse it, and expect to be called out on it. Any of us would.

    I don't find it shocking or surprising. 

    If anything, it's right in line with all his other fuckery surrounding the election, from the phone call to the Ukraine, putting DeJoy in charge of the USPS last May, to his phone call to the GA SOS etc etc etc. 

    The list goes on & on.

    Trump to visit 'decimated' Mexico border with Texas Gov. Abbott on June 30

    Trump attributed the immigration crisis to the White House's reversal of his immigration policies

    "Biden and Harris have handed control of our border over to cartels, criminals, and coyotes. Drug dealers, MS-13 gang members, human smugglers, sex traffickers, and the criminal elements of the world now have free reign," Trump said in a statement. "What Biden and Harris have done, and are continuing to do on our border, is a grave and willful dereliction of duty."

    Gotta drum up that fear of brown people to keep the base motivated. 

    Between the scary Latinos & the scary Asians, & the scary radical leftist socialist commies it's a wonder conservatives get any sleep at all at night.

    IF (and that's a BIG effing if) he can get his "fixing the plane" money situation is figured out. 

    Some of those Rolls Royce engines are over 200M and "his" PARKED plane is down one.  

    2 fun facts ...

    Because engines are by far the single most valuable part of a jet airplane, they are the first thing to be sold when one is taken out of service, and that means they often move among different airlines during their lifetime.

    The Trump Shuttle operated a fleet of Boeing 727-100s and 727-200s between Boston, New York, and Washington DC. The airline first took to the air in mid-1989. Fourteen months after that first flight, Trump Shuttle defaulted on a $1.1 million debt payment.

    Within two years of the first flight, there were active negotiations to sell the airline. By mid-1992, the Trump Shuttle had ceased to exist.

    I suspect they'll debut something new, though. And it will be quite experimental. The hard-core fans will embrace it.  Maybe something like Merrick Garland is trafficking animals to democrats for the purpose of beastiality. Or Ilhan Omar is the reason the US is not successful in the world of international men's soccer.
