Is the German Iron cross bad on it's own?

[Tricky Dick]

Is it? Without the swastika and a 1813 on it, is it bad? I've had one "Authority Figure" come up to me and tell me the german iron cross FROM PRUSSIA is bad because it has to do with the nazis. I can't put up a arguement because the jewish card gets flipped. I know what they did in WW2 but prussia isin't bad. Could someone anwser the question, Is the iron cross bad?

The Swastika was the Hindu symbol of peace that was adapted as the logo for the NAZI party. The Iron Cross is just a military symbol that was used by many countries other than Germany.

>can't put up an argument because of jew card
Well, it sounds like you stumbled onto the real redpill there. It's definitely not normal to have some other group dictate your symbols unless you are their slave. And no, no historical European symbol is bad. ONLY European people have to put up with bullcrap like that. No one would ever dare say that to any other race or ethnic group of people, and rightly so. I am against shaming a people for their history.

On a personal note, I would just avoid arguing with work bosses. They're often full of it in America too, Russiabro. Don't respect stupid status quos. Think for yourself. But at the same time the world is not free and you can't always speak freely to everyone because of the evil ones who rule presently.

Other note: there is no such thing as a "not see." That is a slur for Germanic people, and it was even extended into a racial slur for the same White men that stormed the beaches of Normandy. Now, anyone who even looks White can get called the N-word for Whites. The correct term for the party is National-Socialist--at least, for reasonable people.

I have resolved the situation. The best part about this is that the Germans during ww2 invaded yugoslavia. Thats where my family is from and we don't get offended. We were executed and Hitler thought that we were the most inferior race. I don't get that offended. Also I've since resolved the situation. And I have a nice ww1 iron cross sitting in my room :D

The Iron cross is used today by the German armed forces.

Good thing the teacher isnt clinicly retarded, but next time it comes up show them soviet medals and old imperial ones.

Also: nazis drove german cars and used them in battle, should we ban all cars that a nazi at some poont drove?

ts completely fine really, whats the jewish argument?

That the nazis killed a few million jews while "wearing" the german iron cross.

Probably the best response to that is to invoke the "Hitler ate sugar" fallacy, which states that an evil man using something does not automatically make that thing bad. The meaning of the name is basically "Hitler ate sugar, does that mean eating sugar turns people into megalomaniacs?" Fun fact, a modified version of the Iron Cross (with the swastika removed, obviously) is in use as the highest decoration of the modern German military.
