Nazi propaganda on steam

Is it ok? Saw a number of profiles with swastika for example. And those people are of course are also aggressively react to messages

People who love to report others would report their own mothers to the Nazis if it came to it. If you think what I just said is ridiculous, you are incapable of abstraction and probably one of these people. Might as well stop memorializing WOII altogether if people aren't going to learn from it.

Photographs of the swastika on a shrine in Kyoto, on a lantern in Korea, and on temple doors in China and Tibet; then images of the symbol in America before the Second World War—on a postcard, on a Coca-Cola pendant, and on a Boy Scout merit badge. The word “swastika,” he explained, derives from the Sanskrit word svastika, which means “to be good.” Hitler’s version has an “X” at its center, while the Buddhist version—called manji in Japanese—has a plus sign. “Hitler never actually called this particular symbol a swastika,” he said. “He always said Hakenkreuz,” or “hooked cross.” Drawing on pseudo-scientific theories, he went on, Hitler linked the symbol to an invented “Aryan” race.

In other words people, Pseudoscience is false science, which is why pseudoscience is not considered real science. One example of pseudoscience is astrology, and another is the belief that ancient astronauts built the pyramids. Pseudoscience is based on many psychological factors, including cognitive bias and belief-dependent realism. < This does not make it real/true.


Words & insignia's are what you believe they are and not what they actually mean. Even in some North American Indian symbols, they use a type of cross that is similar to the one in discussion but, it's round in shape and labeled as a broken Sun Wheel of which to them means, 'Good Luck.'

People here need to go back to school and do more research.

The Manji is distinctly different from the Nazi swastika.

False equivalency, like, really bad false equivalency.

Called it, didn't I? I could try to explain it to you but I imagine it will be hopeless. So I'll spare myself the effort.

You would have gone insane if you had been alive during the early era of the Internet, all that edge and nobody took it serious because they knew it was just angsty teenagers lashing out.

The CIA and FBI is chasing and stalking the kids online again? It's nothing new. They've been doing that since forever.

Ignore them, don't engage with them,
People with world views you find offensive exist and are on steam.
That's life.

A swastika as a profile picture is in violation of the ToS.

Me tal gymnastics are tiring when constantly done so that makes sense.

The problem is that Nazism is not an acceptable world view. It is inherently an active threat and society has decided that it's not acceptable. This isnt "oh, we have a difference of opinion". Nazis, and I mean genuine swastika waving Nazis, should not be tolerated and until they stop espousing those there should b societal consequences.

"Society" has not decided that. Do you imagine that these people are somehow not part of "society" ??? And yes it is a difference of opinion. No matter how much you might dislike that.
