Crossed hammer patch: Pink Floyd fan, or fash signaling?
(lemmy.dbzer0.com)
Last week in Chicago I saw a young looking person (late teens, early 20s) with a crossed hammer patch on their bag. See image for an example.
For those unaware, this symbol was used in Pink Floyd's film/music project The Wall, where the crossed hammers marked the flag of a fictional British fascist group, representing the IRL undercurrent of fascism within Thatcher's politics.
Anyway, this person had no other obvious political signaling on their clothing. Does anyone know if this is an IRL political signal, or do Pink Floyd fans just go around wearing it?
I’ll say Pink Floyd fan (or antifa). Facist love to dog whistle, in my experience if he was, there will be more sign on him
