Instead, the Coast Guard will classify the Nazi-era insignia as "potentially divisive" under its new guidelines.

Objecting to taxpayer dollars funding a genocide halfway around the world: antisemitic

Swastikas: not antisemitic

Love that they buried this part until the end of the article. I guess it was a while ago, but still,

In 2007 two incidents involving nooses within the Coast Guard drew national attention. That summer, a Black cadet at the service’s officer training academy found a noose in his sea bag while aboard a Coast Guard vessel. The next month an instructor discussing race relations in response to the first incident reported a noose was left in her office.

The US is just defending themselves from the endless hordes of Russian orcs. Yeah they have to become Nazis, don't be picky here!

It's 2045 and Florida is underwater and the boats coming to rescue people have swastikas flying on them. All is right with the world.

Damnit, the Coast Guard is the one branch that does useful things (when they aren't patrolling the Iranian coastline for some reason).

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.

If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.

Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.

Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.

Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.

Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.
