Who cares if the symbol or variations of it have been around for thousands of years? Were any of you around pre Nazi days and remember when it was used as a symbol for peace or whatever? The symbol especially associated with Germany has had for the last sixty plus years, no positive connotations for most of the world's Western Internet population who would be likely to see it.
Might as well name your kid after a serial killer or live in Louisiana and name your kid Katrina because those names were fine before.  |
So just because a hate group takes something that is cherished by hundreds of millions, turns it into a complete farce and a symbol of utter hatred? you should just say fuck it and let them get away with it? What about the Christian cross and the KKK using it in their rallies? What about them burning them on minority?s yards? Should we just throw away the Christian cross, let the KKK and groups like them have their way? Or should we more logically continue to use the symbol(s) as we always have, thus not giving into the racist?s fear-mongering tactics? I vote for going against the racists/fascists/etc. of the world and continue to use such symbols as I SEE FIT. I will not let them decide what to do with such symbols.
Your example about future kid?s being named Katrina is fucking stupid to boot. The name Katrina will remain as popular as it has been (though it?s not entirely that popular to begin with).
