nazi swastika is rotated by 45 degrees ๐Ÿ™„

[-] ReadFanon@hexbear.net 8 points 1 month ago

I know you mean well but this is a myth and there are countless examples of the Nazis using 90 degree swastikas:

Even medals:

And Hitler's own personal standard:

Not to mention in one of the most iconic videos depicting the Nazi swastika:

I'm not trying to drag you here. Fascists use this argument tactically for plausible deniability and it's widely accepted as common knowledge in the west but it's straight up untrue.

this is 0 degrees swastika ๐Ÿ™„

(i'm joking, i don't think that argument flies very well even with reversed swastika on white boy, which people attach to buddhism, but still reads very sus. )

A year or two ago i had someone join my discord with a swastika in their name and tell me they were just a big fan of the finnish air force.

Yeah, the Finnish government who was vehemently anticommunist and quite cosy with Nazi Germany has continued using the swastikas to this very day.

"I'm not a Nazi sympathiser, I just love the quiet collaborators of Nazi Germany and their particular use of the swastika" isn't the defense that some people think it is.

i remember reading that the white army in finland allied with the liberals were known as "the butchers" for their extensive field executions of red army soldiers during the overthrow of the tsar
