    You need a bit of mental gymnastics to go “oh but the style is such and such, therefore it is not nazi sign”.

    I know fuck all about nazi styles and to me this looks like a nazi n⚡s, proclaiming that he is a national socialist.

    He IS A FUCKING NAZI.

    Edit: another point to add. If I was a dumb racist scum turned nazi, since I know fuck all about the ‘original’ nazi styles, most likely I would come up with some shit like this, that delivers the message but is not in the original style.

    Remember, ICE agents are not smart or educated people that would know much about original nazi styles.

      “it could be an homage, but it’s not “nazi style” any more than a toxic chemical label is a Nazi style “Totenkoph””

      “Fuck ice, etc.”

      EDIT: Since these chucklefucks won’t touch the word “socialist” with a barge pole, it’s more likely his initials.

          The full name of the Nazi Party was Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (German for ‘National Socialist German Workers’ Party’).

          I know what “Nazi” means dude. There are a zillion things to criticise about these people; rest assured when they put nazi shit on things, it’s more obvious. Criticize and obsess over the right shit. That’s the whole point

              What’s the difference between a nazi sign and a sign that is homage to Nazis?

              Yeah, that’s a distinction without a difference

              According to you, one of them is okay, but not the other one?

              One is that the sign itself actually resembles a nazi sign, and not other objects, and the other is something that is designed to emulate the ideas of nazi signs, without resembling them.

              Both are bad. I don’t feel I have to actually point that out, but here I am. My goal with the comment here is to make you guys perceive reality and not jump at everything you see.

                Nah. The time for jumping at nazis with frothed up fury was yesterday. We’re all very very late. Get in there.

                  Yes, jump at the nazis for doing nazi things like arresting people randomly and deporting them after surgically removing subdermal implants, and not for NOT copying the SS insigna, which this is not.

        the probability of randomly selecting someone with the initials “NS” is 1 in 676, or approximately 0.00148 (0.148%).
