Scared traitor piggy
Reminds me of the time somebody in r/nursing asked if they would run into any problems having tattoos. Most places don’t care too much these days and especially since they wanted to work psych which is pretty in-demand but I commented that if they’re gang related or look similar to gang related symbols there could be trouble because there’s a lot of crossover between the psych and corrections patient populations.
They told me “oh they’re just some norse runes.” Bruh. I thought you were gonna tell me it was a butterfly on your wrist or something you gotta be kidding me. They stopped responding before telling me which runes specifically but if an internet stranger clocked them from a few message board responses maybe they rethought some things.
I just really like Thor. It’s totally a coincidence that this looks like nazi shit.
Ok, legit though, a friend of mine started going bald in his mid 20’s. Tried growing his hair out but was eventually convinced that shaving his head was a better look.
Then he started to really get into Melodic & Power Metal and similar sounding music.
Then Amon Amarth. Which lead him to Norse mythology. So he gets a Mjolnir necklace. And he likes leather jackets.Perfectly innocent!
And he visits some friends in Germany. Coincidentally there is an anti-nazi protest going on. This huge German dude takes one look at the pasty-white, skinhead, Norse symbol, leather jacket friend of mine and gets RIGHT UP I HIS FACE. Very intent on kicking his ass until the people he is visiting defuse the situation.
I think it’s a funny story, at least.
P.S. Fuck Nazis. 🖕
So norse runes are nazi symbols now?
Can we make a list of symbols that aren’t associated with nazis? How much of the Latin alphabet can we keep?
Nazis have borrowed Norse symbology since like the beginning of Nazis. Their most recognizable symbol is also borrowed from other cultures.
Unlike the swastika, Norse symbols aren’t so strongly associated with Nazis that they’re now completely unacceptable, so some Nazis use them as a way to broadcast their interests while keeping some plausibly deniable “I just think they’re neat” shit.
Don’t forget they also called themselves Aryan despite the Aryans being from central/south Asia. They’re generally considered to be Indo-Iranian based on where they ended up and where they started. But it flows off the tongue better to put the former first.
They also call themselves Caucasian despite that being Eastern European and Asian.
The Nazis were super into Norse runes. Hitler legitimately thought that they held magical powers.
I’d say I’m surprised you didn’t know that, but honestly, I’m not because there’s a lot of those kinds of things that they don’t mention when teaching about WW2. Plenty of skinhead dog whistles that I didn’t learn about until later on.

But the opposite of this one
The SS symbol is two norse runes meaning the sun and reinterpreted as victory. The nazis wanted to replace religion in their territory with an SS / Nazi based religion using pure aryan symbols instead of praising a jew. The norse symbolism is found throughout Nazi symbolism.
So norse runes are nazi symbols now?
Yeah, Nazis have been coopting our shit since the 1930s and we’re sick of it.
Sincerely
Far left anti-authoritarian pacifist from Denmark who likes Norse mythology.
Fuck them for coopting fun symbols and ruining shit for everyone.
I just want to put this out here because it happened to me. I’ve had a deep interest in Norse mythology since I was a child and have several tattoos featuring runes and Norse mythological imagery. I knew that Othala was a common white supremacist symbol as well as things like the sonnerad, triskele, and valknut so I avoided them.
However, my most visible piece is a raven skull with 3 runes running down the middle. 2 of them are apparently associated with Nazi shit. Thankfully they’re obscure enough that normal people don’t assume I’m a white supremacist, but it’s dog-whistley enough that I’ve had Nazis assume I was also a Nazi and try to strike up conversations with me.
For anyone considering getting runes, be very careful with which ones you select and how you present them. Here’s a decent list of Norse symbols that have been associated with white supremacist movements
Adding more:
Also the full star of chaos sometimes gets you an anarchist, sometimes a Nazi, and most likely a warhammer player. It’s a weird symbol
88!? Dafuq, that’s my favorite number! 😭
It’s dumb numerology shit. Obviously Nazis can’t go around saying “Heil Hitler” since they will immediately be clocked as a Nazi, and H.H. is pretty obvious what they are alluding to. So they post “88” since H is the 8th letter of the alphabet. You’ll often see it coupled with “14” which represents the 14 words “We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children”
It’s also why they think that everything is a bad code that they can descramble. They have these super obvious codes to signal to others and assume every other group has a code that’s just as poorly disguised. That’s how we ended up with shit like Pizzagate. If you order certain pizzas that unlocks the secret basement with the kids! It’s also why a lot of them think there’s a super secret cabal running everything.
Nah pizzagate has an even stupider but simpler explanation. Qanon folk thought that pedophiles were using the term Cheese Pizza or CP as a code for Child Prono.
Never got around to it, but I wanted to do a statistical search of Reddit usernames that pop up in subreddits with two or more numbers at the end. You’ll of course have lots of people with '86 or '92 because they had their birth year at the end of their username. I’m betting '88 sticks out on the bar chart. Not everyone with an '88 at the end will be a nazi, but a disproportionate number with '88 would be a hint towards what kind of people the subreddit is attracting.
Wasn’t there a copypasta about someone born in the 88 and having it in the username, being called a nazi and being sad about it?
The punchline is that the username in question is GasTheJews88.
you also would have to normalise over all the usernames of the platform. as a number repeating itself, i would assume that it generally attracts more attention. source: i compete in team sports. after the birthyears repeating numbers are the ones most often chosen for jersey numbers.
@BakerBagel@midwest.social Thanks for the explanation
Me over here with decades of usernames including 14 in them because it was my “lucky number” in speedway math.
I’d love to see an anti fascist Viking type get “kill Nazis” transliterated into runes as a tattoo
I hate how these bastards ruined Norse art and mythology imagery
I think it was the vikings who did that
Not at all most of the image of Vikings is wildly inaccurate and the britons don’t have much wiggle room to talk about crazy shit their people did in the woods.
Norse runes rule.
They don’t belong to nazis, and everybody saying otherwise is an ally of the nazis and an enemy of the people.
Norse runes rule.
There’s even some arguments that we should go back to them. Runes are the original English alphabet, and spelling would be more natural with them. But ripping them away from the nazis would be hard.
Oh absolutely but you kinda have to make it clear it’s not fash at the moment with them. I know a few Norse pagans and it’s a thing they get used to.

“Some people are just natural jumpers…”
A place free from darkness…
I once walked into a gas station (a local one, hooray) and the guy behind the counter had a giant swastika tattoo on his arm.
Considering the sort of management that would allow such a person to work there, I avoided that station from then on.
This tat is an artistic representation of “scratch a cop and a fascist bleeds”.
Were the confederates fascist? Racist oligarchies exist before fascism as a concept existed(like the confederacy). But I think fascism also requires certain economic and political policies that idk if the CSA had.
There is also a huge emphasis on military worship in fascist societies, sometimes even trying to make civilians dress and act like the military does. Which, once again, confederates didn’t do.
A big problem with how people conceptulise fascism is that they only look at a couple of full grown animals. This causes them to overlook the nascent stages and to discount regional variances caused by the different environments they grew up in.
Whether they have been propagandised to frame this perception this way because most Right Wing movements utilise fear, anger and devisiveness in a discomfortingly similar way, is worth pondering.
he basically turned his arm into this flag
Exactly what I pictured hahah
Hi racist!
A racist cop. But I repeat myself.
hey! not all racists are cops
Never forget what really started the Ferguson riots. After a peaceful candlelight vigil, Ferguson police let a K-9 piss on the memorial to Michael Brown then ran over it with their police cars
For real? God damn.
When you roll around in pig shit then take a pig shit bath to clean it off
Got a warning for a tail light being out about 15 miles from Ferguson last month. The douche had a similar tattoo to the first one. Instead of Monster can logo it was a sweet tribal design with parts of the Confederate flag mixed in. Stay classy St Charles Police department

The overseer rode around the plantation
The officer is off, patrollin’ all the nation
The overseer could stop you, “What you’re doing?”
The officer will pull you over just when he’s pursuing
The overseer had the right to get ill
And if you fought back, the overseer had the right to kill
The officer has the right to arrest
And if you fight back they put a hole in your chestIs this a song?
Yes, “Killing In the Name”
Two songs. Both about the actual role of police in society. The first is quote is from the song Freak on a Leash, by the band Limp Bizkit. It’s an okay song.*
The second quote is Sound of da Police by rapper KRS-One (short for Knowledge Reigns Supreme Over Nearly Everyone). KRS is technically right that every police agency in America, and indeed the entire cat and mouse model of crime control policy, derives its origins from American slave patrols, posses that would go chase down and capture escaped slaves for bounties, bring them back to their plantations, back to auction, or just to a rope. He’s literally wrong that the origin of the word officer in any way derives from the word overseer; officer has Latin origins, overseer is from middle English. This is one of my favorite rappers, songs, and verses.
*It’s actually by Rage Against the Machine, and called Killin in the Name, I just like to joke on rock rappers.

Dagnabbit! You almost had me there. First thought was “what kind a idiot?” “limp bizkit has a korn cover?” “I’m going to correct this jackass”… Then I read the rest. Good one, bravo! slow clap
🥴👍
Love me some KRS One.

Ah, remember when the right got all up in arms that RATM was suddenly political when they dared speak out against… checks notes right-wing authoritarianism?
Hi, my name was John Dumb. I didn’t like my name anymore, so I changed it to Robert Dumb.
White supremacism in, white supremacism out.
This reminds me the Hungarian “moderate conservative” who left behind Hitler’s Mein Kampf for Evola’s Rebellion Against the Modern World.
Kind of worse now.
Like I’m sorry, I simply cannot get over this… It’s like you farted, but instead of refusing to own up to it, you just shit your pants and blame the smell on that… Somehow thinking that that’s better than having been found out as the one who farted…
