Why is so much effort being spent defending a Nazi symbol?

84. Come on folks

Let's not make excuses for the Nazi Death Head. Some of the replies I'm seeing are very disheartening. It's a horrible symbol with a history deeply entrenched in Nazi history. Let us please not try and parse this with "but it's history before Nazis!" which is an argument used by the same morons the Blue Brothers ran off a bridge in Illinois. That is just pure cringe to even hear that argument made on here of all places 😬

Now I'd like to believe that the tell tale story of the ticker tape comes down to "Has Germany banned the Nazi Death Head?" and the answer to that question is a solid YES it has and it's been illegal for some time now at that. The SS-Totenkopf falls under paragraph Section 86a of the German Criminal Code (StGB), it is a criminal offence to publicly display, wear, manufacture, or disseminate symbols of unconstitutional or banned organizations.

Look, I realize this is a very hot button issue right now. We have to lock in and focus. We have fascists and their enablers to beat. I firmly believe Platner is so popular because of the policies he supports which the other candidates don't. We're in a dire situation right now in this country where many people are being harmed and the subject of violence. My gosh there's a thread on here about a lady calling in to CSPAN saying she's slowly starving to death because she's had her SNAP benefits cut so much. That's one example of a million right now.

For some perspective - It's a disgusting symbol, no question about it. You know what else is really disgusting? People running for office who can't even support single payer healthcare or don't support giving those people who are on SSDI living wages. It's literally legal to pay them pennies on the hour. I'd love to see the same energy Platner is being given to those others who's policies are literally killing people.
