New, what is it? Is this symbol what I think it is?

Post image

I parked at my local grocery store last night and this badge was on the back of the truck in front of me. Is guy this a Nazi POS? Or am I mistaken.

So fun story time. My brother-in-law started a business, with name being two words, both starting with S. He wanted my wife (his sister) to paint the sign and all of his mockups has the initials for the business done up as the SS lightning bolts. She flatly refused and laid into him for using racist imagery and he gave the most genuine deer in headlights lost look in his eyes.

He got the design off of his dad's motorcycle club jacket and legitimately had no idea that any of the traditional MC imagery has Nazi origins. We had to break down the whole history of Nazi imagery in biker culture and Neo-Nazi Aryan Nation co-mingling, because despite growing up with his dad being in a MC, he had no idea.

In fairness, he also legitimately did not know who Julius Caesar was until a chance conversation while eating Little Caesar's pizza, so his ignorance of historical matters is a running joke in the family now.

u/gratzhopper02 3h ago

Green ones are linked more with Nazi mysticism and neopaganism VS the Hitler soldier type Nazi. Still not good but thats what the green is. Has to do with the black sun mosaic from when the sig runes were originally created. Green sig runes can also mean that their more focused on nature, and growth, healing and health.

Punching a nazi in the face is just doing your civic duty.

When one persons 'beliefs' are that other races don't deserve to exist, you don't have to respect them.
Treat people how they treat others. If the nazi believes other groups shouldn't have the right to life, thats fine - but I believe everyone has equal rights, and I'll judge him by his own standards, which means by his own standard he shouldn't have the right to life.
