“Did you know that the swastika was actually used way before Hitler used it? Currently all over the world with what I would expect a different meaning than what we associate it with. Here in this country it was first used by the Native Americans.”
Pohlhaus is a neo-Nazi and most people associate the swastika with Nazis.
Greear, sweetheart, he’s a neo-nazi. It doesn’t matter who else uses the swastika. It doesn’t matter that it’s technically a symbol of peace, prosperity, luck, Thor, Jupiter, Zeus, Indra, or whatever the fuck your religion/culture believes it means. He’s a neo-nazi, he’s using it as a symbol of hate. While I don’t agree with the idea of letting nazis claim the symbol when it comes to non-religious use, while I believe there should be an effort to reclaim it in non-religious contexts, he’s a fucking neo-nazi. Bless your heart for trying to defend him, but he’s one of the last people that need it.
