Banned for a symbol?

Do you understand the origins of the swastika?

Banning anyone who is expressing their views without any harm to you or I, is not how a democracy works.

You're welcome.

It harms me. My grandfather survived KZ Dachau, was liberated by fellow us soldiers short before starving to death. Wouldnt play against an a-hole with this flag, nazism is not an opinion its a crime and should be banned!

It is illegal to display the swastika in Germany and a few other democratic nations.

Completely understandable there.

Its absolutely illegal in Austria and Germany. Showing this [removed -- MOD] flag can put you in prison and there are good reasons for that.

National socialism is an ideology based on opinions. You may be offended by them, but banning opinions is more stupid than the stupidest of opinions.

The oldest statutes of Budda show a swastika on his chest. Remember it's not the symbol that caused all the harm folks...in itself it only holds the power you give it. The symbol was adopted, basterized by the Nazis, the symbol itself did no harm, only the MEN that wore it.

No, the Nazis were scum. You know all Nazi officers wore hats, are you against hats too? Pants? Shirts, ties, collars, boots?

Public asking for someone to get banned is disrespectful and just poor, hence if you really want to get him/her banned use the appropriate functionality to report instead of doing such a public 'shooting'.

 

Btw. he is not talking about a symbol, he said a nazi flag, with the indian symbol already changed and giving that symbol it's poor context.

 

In India everyone can see such a symbol so many times, in its turn to the left (not right) and without the 45° change of the angle.

I'm playing someone with a hammer and sickle but not crying about it. Stalin was the biggest butcher of the last century. Those going on about 'nazis' all the time are ones causing trouble, rioting, lying and trying to inhibit free speech. Just play chess FFS.

Nazism is a crime ideology based on racism, terror and its goal is establishing a pure evil regime wich leads to war and hate between mankind. Austrians know about this, we have gone through this shit!

Did you look at this [removed -- MOD] flag? I have not and I apologize if it is a Nazi flag, I was responding to the attack on the swastika only.

If someone displays a Nazi flag then it's probably not for religious reasons as expressed by Godspawn.  While some here claim to protect democracy by tolerating the scum then they should realise that Nazi's strive for a society devoid of democracy.  If they don't believe in democracy then they shouldn't share in it; simple.  I know the Nazi's allowed Christian religion as the Catholic church leaders were supportive of the ideology in many countries, especially in the former Yugoslavia.  So I can understand why some Christians are so tolerant of disgusting fascists, despite their claims of being loving and compassionate people :-)  Ha!!

  Don't expect any support from Staff or Mods on this issue, despite the obvious breach of rules with the swastika.  They'll close this thread before they get rid of the fascist.  Look back at the threads over several years and you'll see that Staff are extremely tolerant of racists and fascists, including offensive images and comments about black people and Moslems, but not of anyone who complains about them.  Says it all 'bout this site.  It's why I'm leaving.  Read 'This Site' in Off Topic for more details.
