For context that means a guy like this would now be allowed to serve. They check your tattoos when you come in so this doesn’t qualify as a hate symbol now.
Next thing you know they’ll be making this guy Secretary of Defense or something
Clearly the iron cross and confederate flag are allowed already as sad as it is
I am all for reclaiming symbols stolen by fascists, but we all know this is absolutely not what they are getting to.
I once didn’t shave for weeks on a no-shave November. When I finally shaved I decided to see how I would look like with a toothbrush mustache… and I found that it suited me great! (At least I think it did) but I knew i couldn’t have it and I shaved it off.
I wish we could DeNazify that mustache and make it the simple and sometimes whimsical mustache it was in the past.
It would be really great. I HATE shaving that part of my face. Doesn’t matter how well I prep or what razor I use. It always hurts. I don’t like having facial hair but just that would be tolerable.
Too late it did what it was meant to do. It told all the Nazis in the USA: “We don’t think Nazis are bad, come join us”.
but now MAGA can’t enlist…
Thank goodness. Please don’t let the world flip inside-out.
It is not divisive and it is a hate symbol.
great; now hegseth can finally finish his chest tattoo
“It’s going to be a maze”
so what was WW2 all about then?
Probably money, like every other war
The fascists in the USA didn’t want the competition. Exactly the same reason behind the American “Revolution”. The oligarchs of North America hated sharing the spoils with the oligarchs of Europe.
I thought it was all so videogame industries could have material to use.
That’s why we are in need of WW3, so the next call of duty is not a flop like black ops 7
Unfortunately since people tend to have such short memories regarding genocides & atrocities, we seem to need a new world war every few decades to re-terrify everyone back to their sensibilities.
Never did.

Military service will reportedly no longer classify ‘divisive’ swastika as ‘hate’ symbol

ShutterstockTrump administration insiders are furious over reporting that the U.S. Coast Guard, which is part of the Department of Homeland Security, will no longer classify the swastika as a symbol of “hate.”
According to the Washington Post, the branch of military service has decided that swastikas and nooses are considered “potentially divisive” but not hateful.
As the news outlet reports, “The U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika, an emblem of fascism and white supremacy inextricably linked to the murder of millions of Jews and that more than 400,000 U.S. troops who died fighting against in World War II, as a hate symbol, according to a new policy that takes effect next month.”

The report continues:
“Instead, the Coast Guard will classify the Nazi-era insignia as ‘potentially divisive’ under its new guidelines. The new policy, set to take effect Dec. 15, similarly downgrades the definition of nooses and the Confederate flag, though display of the latter remains banned, according to documents reviewed by The Washington Post.”
The Post also reports, “Certain historic displays or artwork where the Confederate flag is a minor element are still permissible, according to the policy.”
“Though the Coast Guard is not part of the Defense Department, the service has been reworking its policies to align with the Trump administration’s changing tolerances for hazing and harassment within the U.S. military,” the report states. “In September Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth directed a review and overhaul of those policies, calling the military’s existing standards ‘overly broad’ and saying they jeopardize U.S. troops’ combat readiness.”
Trump Homeland Security official Tricia McLaughlin rejected the claims made without being specific.
“This is an absolute ludicrous lie and unequivocally false. The @washingtonpost should be embarrassed it published this fake crap,” she wrote. Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr., shared her post.

They have declared that nooses and swatzikas are not hate symbols, time to test that by drawing a picture of a Nazi being hanged I guess
As my high school English teacher once said, “a horse is hung, a person is hanged”
So it’s correct to refer to a Nazi being hung then.
Only the ones with huge penises.
shit headline, its just the coast guard.
Though the Coast Guard is not part of the Defense Department, the service has been reworking its policies to align with the Trump administration’s changing tolerances for hazing and harassment within the U.S. military," the report states.
fucking clickbait trash
coast guard cant onboard hitler tattoos, fucking twats
Genuinely absurd that the most famous symbol of hate isn’t recognized as a symbol of hate.
It’s fucked up how normal (and I say this loosely) and unsurprising this actually sounds in today’s world.
If you told me a couple years back that America would openly turn fascist, I would have said you’re batshit crazy.
I studied history and have been telling people this for over a decade but most people think I’m batshit crazy.
I live there three years in the 90s. I’m surprised it took this long.
For the rest of us, we’ve seen it coming for about 25 years. And we kept telling you.
You got belligerent and started waving your flags harder.
Now you tell us to “worry about your own country” when we say we told you so.
The ones who say to worry about your country are the ones here who saw this for decades as well and are trying to tell you we see the same shit starting all over the place over seas. If you act like you are above it, the same shit will happen to you all. Alot of us unfortunately didnt fight hard enough when we needed to due to thinking most people here weren’t as stupid as they are and we are now pretty much fucked. Don’t repeat our mistake thinking you have less idiots in your countries, the rot starts beneath the surface first just because you think you’ve cleaned the surface doesnt mean the infestation isnt festering below. Don’t be like us, be 100 times more proactive.
Nazis took inspiration for holocaust from manifest destiny, soo…
Hitler assumed USA was going to join them due to the huge German population amongst other reasons…
Why would white supremacists see swastikas as hate symbols?
Please put an NSFW tag on that image, it can get you in trouble if you accidentally show it in public in many countries, for good reason.
