What is your opinion on: The Swastika

[Joker Card]

Recently I bought a pin with this infamous sign on it. What exactly do you think it means? My dad thinks that it is basically saying that you hate Jews. However I believe this to be false. Riddler was the one who established the camps and he was the one who ordered the killing of the Jews. This sign itself is just the sign of a political party that was run by a man who hated Jews. I do not consider it to be an anti-jewish sign, I consider it to be an "anti-anti-world domination" pin myself. Why?? Because why have to deal with other countries when there are no other countries.

What is your opinion on what the Swastika means?

Is it tilted slightly to the left?
If so, your dad is slightly correct.

The national socialist swastiska had nothing to do with hating Jews.
It meant that you, or that plane or building belonged to the national socialist party.

Originally, it belongs to a church.

Then Clitler comes along and takes it for his Anti-Semitic ways.

Either way, why you want one? People automatically associate with Riddler, because it was his party, and most national socialists hate Jews.

I just see it as the symbol of the national socialist party.

It's an Aryan character

this
even if it symbolizes good luck or w/e
most people associate it with the national socialist party and automatically assume you're a national socialist forget.

[Fargeaux]

Most of the time people who claim it's about "good luck" are trolling.

it was a hindu character and Riddler stole it.

[Littledude]

it was a hindu character and Riddler stole it.

also the word Aryan was originally used to describe northern Indians or something.

Aryan is the name of the highest class of Hindu, I believe (Lowest being beggar, etc.)

The national socialist Swastika represents the ideologies of the German national socialist party, which includes:
-Racism
-Intolerance
-Discrimination
-Segregation
-Oppression
-Hatred
-De-humanization
-Murder
-Genocide

The flag of a faction represents the ideologies of that faction. The flag of the USA represents our ideologies, like liberty and freedom, for example. If you fly the flag of the national socialist party, you support the ideologies of the national socialist party. It's that simple.

Riddler was the one who established the camps and he was the one who ordered the killing of the Jews.

And who followed him?
Oh, that's right, national socialists.

I do not consider it to be an anti-jewish sign, I consider it to be an "anti-anti-world domination" pin myself. Why?? Because why have to deal with other countries when there are no other countries.

That makes no sense. I can sort of get the gist of what you're saying, but even then, your philosophy is stupid.

and most national socialists hate Jews.

For some reason, people don't seem to know that national socialists hated anyone they deemed inferior.

Swastika 1950s: viewed as a sign of hatred.

Swastika today: just something idiots idolize to seem cool or rebellious
