    One would assume getting hate symbols tattooed on your body is a clear adoption of what that means and your ideology as a person. Makes sense someone would couch such hateful rhetoric with a 'jk, I don't believe in the symbolism, but I like the way it looks.' when they're trying to (poorly) conceal their bigotry.

Those tats wouldn’t make you a member of the Nazi party. It would just be a reflection that you are a crazy self-hating Jew.
    Yes and no, being accepted by others, doesn’t reflect on what you personally believe in.
    A black guy could have the swastika tattoo and believe that white people are superior, then walk into a KKK meeting and get hung, that’s doesn’t change what he believed in the slightest.

    Is he crazy and self hating? Maybe? I guess it depends on how he was brought up, or what he was taught.

    Schindler's List as a historical dramatization showed the involvement of Jewish leaders against their own community and people. More often than not they wound up facing the same fate as those they betrayed.

    Every group of people has their own Serans. We just happen to have the actual Seran as our Seran, which is the dumbest of all Serans.

    This is kind of like how you would die in the gulag you're demanding to be built where you think you'll get to keep sitting around being an unemployed slob all day.

    On the topics of swastikas... I have honestly always thought they were pleasing to the eye. I knew they were used by the American Indians and large parts of Europe used them prior to Nazi Germany essentially ruining it forever, but didn't realize China/Japan and so many other religions and cultures used it.

    The swastika is an ancient symbol that has been used for thousands of years by many different cultures around the world, including in India, China, Japan, and Europe. Before the Nazi regime in Germany adopted it as their emblem, the swastika had various meanings and associations depending on the culture in which it was used.


    In Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism, the swastika is known as the "sanskara" and represents good luck, prosperity, and the cycle of creation and destruction. In these religions, the symbol is still used today in religious ceremonies and as a decorative motif.


    In pre-Christian Europe, the swastika was also a common symbol and was associated with the sun, life, and fertility. It was often used in designs on pottery, textiles, and jewelry.


    In Native American cultures, the swastika was used by various tribes, such as the Navajo and Hopi, and was known as the "whirling log" or "hooked cross." It represented healing, harmony, and the four cardinal directions.


    It's important to note that the adoption of the swastika by the Nazi regime has had a profound impact on its meaning and symbolism, and it is now primarily associated with the atrocities committed during World War II. As a result, the use of the swastika is often considered offensive and is banned in many countries.

    Somewhat unrelated and with all due respect, but I find that left leaning people tend to use extreme outlier examples in support of their argument.

    Example: A woman could be raped & that fetus could be dead inside as situation used to support legalization of abortion up until birth. Well sure that could happen, but 99%+ of actual abortions are done by women who were not raped & for non-medically necessary reasons.

    Example 2: A fraction of 1% of the population in our country identify as non-binary, therefore every po-dunk small business in the Midwest should accommodate their needs with gender neutral bathrooms.

    There is an exception to almost any rule, but in general Mexican nationals are not white-supremacists for obvious reasons. That dude was crazy as fuck. The Army kicked him out after being in for 3 months for mental health reasons. See the pattern here? This wasn’t some planned attack for political reasons like the OKC bombing. This was a crazy fuckface that turned violent. That is what we need to focus on fixing & prevent those people from doing harm to society without trampling on everyone else’s rights or blaming your opposing political party.

    Well, I mean you did bring up the holocaust, World War II, and Polish Jews I could say that’s a little extreme, couldn’t I?
