Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

I actually didn't know that this was legal to do in the U.S.
There aren't a lot of jurisdictions in the world that ban the sale or display of the swastika (in Nazi-supporting circumstances). Australia and Germany are the only ones that come to mind, and Australia has only done so very recently (this year).
Don’t forget about Austria, although I believe that won’t be for much longer as the next head of state is openly a Hitler fanboy
I didn't know, but that makes sense. My state in Aus also went further and banned the salute, and has actually prosecuted people under that law.
I'm not sure if displaying a swastika is banned, if it is I wasn't aware of that.
Most states banned the salute. The federal govt recently banned it too, with mandatory incarceration.
It's apparently encouraged even
