It wasnt even 24 hours before the the colossal apopcalyptic blowback on this made them reverse their decision.
Now we just have to wonder why they want to make hate symbols okay in the military.. I'm sure its totally not anything to do with trying to build a white nationalist military that will gleefull obey illegal orders and slaughter the "other" in the streets at piggy boys command.
It's FUCKING DHS only.... For some reason they put the Coast guard under the dumbasses at DHS they're the ones who are trying to not see everything how surprising is that really.
It's cause of the tattoos. Too many Nazis being excluded from the military.
yes, thats basically what i said.
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
I am all for reclaiming symbols stolen by fascists, but we all know this is absolutely not what they are getting to.
great; now hegseth can finally finish his chest tattoo
“It’s going to be a maze”
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.
They have declared that nooses and swatzikas are not hate symbols, time to test that by drawing a picture of a Nazi being hanged I guess
shit headline, its just the coast guard.
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.
fucking clickbait trash
coast guard cant onboard hitler tattoos, fucking twats
It's fucked up how normal (and I say this loosely) and unsurprising this actually sounds in today's world.
If you told me a couple years back that America would openly turn fascist, I would have said you're batshit crazy.
I studied history and have been telling people this for over a decade but most people think I'm batshit crazy.
For the rest of us, we've seen it coming for about 25 years. And we kept telling you.
You got belligerent and started waving your flags harder.
Now you tell us to "worry about your own country" when we say we told you so.
The ones who say to worry about your country are the ones here who saw this for decades as well and are trying to tell you we see the same shit starting all over the place over seas. If you act like you are above it, the same shit will happen to you all. Alot of us unfortunately didnt fight hard enough when we needed to due to thinking most people here weren't as stupid as they are and we are now pretty much fucked. Don't repeat our mistake thinking you have less idiots in your countries, the rot starts beneath the surface first just because you think you've cleaned the surface doesnt mean the infestation isnt festering below. Don't be like us, be 100 times more proactive.
I live there three years in the 90s. I'm surprised it took this long.
Why would white supremacists see swastikas as hate symbols?
so what was WW2 all about then?
I thought it was all so videogame industries could have material to use.
That's why we are in need of WW3, so the next call of duty is not a flop like black ops 7
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!
In the us, the default country ofc
I hate this so much that politics@lemmy.world, you know the explicitly not-only-US instance, specifically only allows US politics.
Combine this policy with declaring anti-fascists as terrorists, and I think a pattern is emerging here.
Following the double negative rule: Anti Anti Fascists leaves you with
Fascists
The USA is dropping the mask for all the world to see.
AND STILL PEOPLE ARE ACTING LIKE EVERYTHING IS NORMAL! AT THIS POINT I WANT TO SEE MASS PANIC SO I KNOW I'M NOT CRAZY! AND I'M IN CANADA, I WANT MASS PANIC IN CANADA! I AT LEAST WANT THIS SHIT TAKEN SERIOUSLY ENOUGH THAT CANADIANS STOP FUCKING GOING TO THE STATES AS IF EVERYTHING IS NORMAL!
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.
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.
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.
What the fuck‽
