    If you let them dictate what is theirs, they’ll take everything.

      Lmao, what a wild assumption that they could take whatever icons they like, with no basis in reality.

                The only person in this thread who seems intent on pepe being about hate speech is you. I’ve been asked in some formal settings to avoid using the OK hand sign in case it sends the wrong message. I’ve been advised by tattoo artists to avoid Nordic symbols despite the fact that I’m of Scandinavian descent. You’re enabling the worst kind of people to decide what symbols mean in our culture. Why?

            Degenerate, 88, 14, the Roman salute, multiple names, the fascista, shaven heads, lighting motifs, runic symbols.

            That’s just what I came up with off the top of my head. The other person is right, and I say we should reclaim every symbol because those fuckers shouldn’t be allowed to call anything their own or have anything to ralley around or identify each other with. The only symbol I’m aware of that the made was the black sun which is itself simply the ss symbol repeated around a circle, which itself is an appropriated rune.

            Reclaim every symbol.

              I do believe 88 was just 2x the 8th letter of the alphabet which is H, which was short for what they say in the Hitlergruß.

              This is a perfectly reasonable explanation to me and fits too well for this to seem like a coincidence.

                Why do you even want those things?

                I’m a mathematician. 88 is a number. You think letting them have an entire number isn’t damaging?

        That’s your position. Not mine. They can’t have shit, because I won’t let them
