The problem is that many 'Nazi' symbols are taken from other meanings. The iron cross is a common symbol for bikers because it represents honour, bravery, and protection. Likewise, the swastika is an Indian symbol of spirituality. But because of the Nazis using these symbols, the western world automatically attacks anyone who wears or uses these symbols, calling them Nazis even when they're using the symbol for its actual meaning. The way the interaction went with this bartender, it honestly sounds like he threw out a biker who didn't even know the bartender assumed he was a Nazi, and probably assumed he was being thrown out for being in bikie clothes. And I know I'm going to get downvoted and called a Nazi for this, but its true - plenty of people wear 'Nazi' symbols, because to them it's not a Nazi symbol, and attacking them based on total assumptions, without even knowing IF they are actually a Nazi, is not a good way to treat people.

People who continue to innocently use corrupted symbols aren’t exactly helping the situation. If you know it’s been corrupted, and global history has a huge comment to make about when and how, you really ought to consider the context and NOT wear them.

@littlearesare: Oh, I know. I'm sorry, I should have been more clear. They're also using specific Norse runes, which the pagan community use a lot (As well as Celtic crosses). You've got to use your brain and figure out when these symbols are being used to promote hate, and when they aren't. Usually, Nazis use more than one of these symbols in conjunction with one another. I highly suggest that everyone does their own research to learn the differences.

I tried that, there are just soooo many of them! And things I would've never thought included. I was stunned by the breadth and for some of them, the downright obscure. It was crazy.

#Jace why should a community stop using their ancestral symbols because a bunch of motherf*** have tried to corrupt them? What do you suggest, that we have to erase all the swastikas from ancient monuments and a statues because some idiots decided to give it a racist meaning? It's up to you to study history, and the context of each symbol, and stop judging people for wearing what's part of their culture or beliefs.

Bone daddy. 1-affect not effect. 2-we already have changed the climate. I look forward to your expletive laden response full of personal attacks ^-^

Bone Daddy, you're right, we won't actually have any effect on the earth in the grand scheme of geologic history. However, in our very short time on this earth, we have undone a billion years worth of carbon sequestration in the form of fossil fuel extraction. Realizing the effects of human action require you to be able to process a timescale far longer than your own life.

Bone daddy, I would love to address your comment that I’m sure is very deep and thought provoking. If only it was understandable.

I had to google "boogaloo". While I know people like this existed, and certainly had their own groups, this was a term that I had not heard. Thanks for the reference.

Bone daddy: here seeing as ur Google must be broken: https://climate.nasa.gov/evidence/ Look at the end of the graph btw if ur having trouble. The right hand side is the most telling, although the graph does need to be read as a whole in order to see the full EFFECT of the way we have AFFECTED our climate.
