      In the US, neonazis fuck up the symbol so often that it makes no sense to differentiate between the two. I don’t even think most neonazis know there’s a difference.

      I don’t think you’re going to get rid of that symbolic appropriation either. Once you see a family member murdered by someone carrying a symbol, your never going to see that symbol the same again. A trauma has been fused to it.

              And yet, you want to using a word that is sacred for some other culture.

              don’t put words in my mouth. i never used either term. im criticizing your decision to call out people for using the wrong term instead of the person who wants jewish people dead.

              your point is true, it’s just that you’re defending it in a way that diverts attention away from the more immediate problem of anti-jewish hate
