What IS a fucking hate symbol then???
LGBTQ and trans flags
A peace sign
Soon the peace gesture with your 2 fingers will be considered an ANTIFA symbol and warrant immediate deportation.
How about half a peace sign?
That’s also an Antifa sign to show displeasure, but it’s more offensive, so they just shoot you dead.
Combine this policy with declaring anti-fascists as terrorists, and I think a pattern is emerging here.
Oh for a moment there I was beginning to doubt the direction of USA.
Well I guess it’s still full steam ahead to dismantle democracy and introduce an authoritarian dictatorship.
Ah, a potentially divisive hand gesture, inscrutable, controversial and puzzling. What on Earth could it mean?
THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNTIED STATES IS CALLING FOR LAWMAKERS TO BE EXECUTED FOR UPHOLDING THE LAW! WTF IS GOING TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS SHIT?
NOTHING AT ALL THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE EITHER CONTENT WITH THIS OR TOO COWARDLY TO DO ANYTHING!
Brief anecdote. In school, we used to draw swastikas on everything in order to get others in trouble or to make ourselves seem like assholes. At no point did we consider what we were doing ok, it was just kids riding the edge of something they couldn’t understand for the sake of ignominy. Even we, as ignorant as we were, recognized that the swastika was a hate symbol and thoroughly unacceptable, we were, again, just assholes.
I’ve been saying this quite a lot but this culture war bodes poorly.
Please put an NSFW tag on that image, it can get you in trouble if you accidentally show it in public in many countries, for good reason.
Instead, the Coast Guard will classify the Nazi-era insignia as ‘potentially divisive’ under its new guidelines. The new policy, set to take effect Dec. 15, similarly downgrades the definition of nooses and the Confederate flag
Threatening racial lynchings is “potentially divisive” but not hateful, apparently. I guess there are very fine people on both sides of the white supremacist lynchings debate.
Literally the defining symbol for the term ‘hate symbol’.
Hey, what’s a hate symbol? Oh, you know, like a swatztika. Ohh, right of course, how could I be so fucking dumb? Jesus CHRIST. Dude, calm down, it’s-- NO. PUNCH ME IN THE FACE, I’M TRASH.

Military service will reportedly no longer classify ‘divisive’ swastika as ‘hate’ symbol

ShutterstockTrump administration insiders are furious over reporting that the U.S. Coast Guard, which is part of the Department of Homeland Security, will no longer classify the swastika as a symbol of “hate.”
According to the Washington Post, the branch of military service has decided that swastikas and nooses are considered “potentially divisive” but not hateful.
As the news outlet reports, “The U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika, an emblem of fascism and white supremacy inextricably linked to the murder of millions of Jews and that more than 400,000 U.S. troops who died fighting against in World War II, as a hate symbol, according to a new policy that takes effect next month.”

The report continues:
“Instead, the Coast Guard will classify the Nazi-era insignia as ‘potentially divisive’ under its new guidelines. The new policy, set to take effect Dec. 15, similarly downgrades the definition of nooses and the Confederate flag, though display of the latter remains banned, according to documents reviewed by The Washington Post.”
The Post also reports, “Certain historic displays or artwork where the Confederate flag is a minor element are still permissible, according to the policy.”
“Though the Coast Guard is not part of the Defense Department, the service has been reworking its policies to align with the Trump administration’s changing tolerances for hazing and harassment within the U.S. military,” the report states. “In September Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth directed a review and overhaul of those policies, calling the military’s existing standards ‘overly broad’ and saying they jeopardize U.S. troops’ combat readiness.”
Trump Homeland Security official Tricia McLaughlin rejected the claims made without being specific.
“This is an absolute ludicrous lie and unequivocally false. The @washingtonpost should be embarrassed it published this fake crap,” she wrote. Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr., shared her post.

For context that means a guy like this would now be allowed to serve. They check your tattoos when you come in so this doesn’t qualify as a hate symbol now.
Next thing you know they’ll be making this guy Secretary of Defense or something
Clearly the iron cross and confederate flag are allowed already as sad as it is
great; now hegseth can finally finish his chest tattoo
“It’s going to be a maze”
I am all for reclaiming symbols stolen by fascists, but we all know this is absolutely not what they are getting to.
What the fuck‽
Why would white supremacists see swastikas as hate symbols?
