I've met a few Nazis but everybody was in Germany during that period.busybee wrote: ↑Mon Nov 22, 2021 8:25 amYou can get away with the swastika around here, it's not against the law. You will find your enemies mainly in the expat community. Although many of them too have joined the rising trend of anti-Semitism. I have met a few neo nazi types myself, as it is quite easy these days. And most of them see themselves as nice and orderly people who are constantly attacked by the Semites, and not the other way around.
So I stay away, to avoid doing it myself. Cause I just want to kill all nazi's, or just nazitypes. They don't all sport a Swastika and some of them live in Chicago.
I have a lot of friends who have Nazi members in their family. From aristocracy who earned a lot of money during that period,now we're so embarrassed about how much money they made from the Jews, his words not mine, to a friend who I lived in Vienna with whose grandfather was in the bunker with with Hitler right until the end.
I mentioned these two people because generally if you ask someone about their family history in Germany during the war they normally say no they weren't nazi.
This is the Carlsberg Elephants. I used to live close to there. They were also on the beer.Fred Edwards wrote: ↑Sat Nov 20, 2021 1:02 amBecause it's been turned around a few degrees it's now something different. I know you like to be right and I'm sure you will have an explanation for these elephants in Denmark. Fuck me the word swastika comes directly from sanskrit. At least if you called it by its German name you might have an argument but the article says swastika not Hakenkreuz!
Oops sorry you're right again.
Do you think the person who is sitting on the box thinks it's a good luck symbol or a hate symbol,he probably never even notice because he is not obsessed with Nazis like Europeans are.
I have an old Nordic mythology book from late 19th cent. with the title page a big swastika with flowers and birds. They used it as symbol for Thor's hammer. Anyway, I think Americans are more obsessed with Nazism than Europeans. In school in the 70s, Nazism & WW-II wasn't really that big of a topic. Its like meh. There have been a bunch of genocides before and after and the war is not particular more relevant than WW-I, the Napoleon wars, or the Great Northern War, or whatever. There is a Nazi party in Denmark. They try to get elected from time to time, and get like 53 votes.
I think these increasingly famous elephants have become an eyesore for the Carlsberg Foundation. The company moved its headquarters to a brand new building opposite the historic complex. The irony is that the name of the founders Jacobsen is traditionally associated with Semites in Europe. Now the growing neonazi underground has discovered that the brand is some sort of secret medium for their view of the Semites as intrusive and untrustworthy.
Jacobsen is not associated with Semites, its the same as names like Andersen, Svensen, Jansen etc, it just means child of Jacob.
Before the formalisation of family names for common folk this was the normal way to call someone, in Iceland they still use this system.
OT: If anything the guy on the box will probably associate the symbol with Budhism. I remember a couple of decades ago watching a WW2 film in backwater Yunan and all the Chinese rooted for the Germans as they thought they were Budhists...
Tobacco spinner Abraham Jacobsen Levi is the first Jew to settle in Fredericia, which in 1674 introduced religious freedom.
Most recently in 1744, a Jew, Ahron Jacobson, immigrated from Hamburg to Copenhagen. He could engrave in stone and metal and must be presumed to have had artistic abilities since he was given the title of court sign engraver.

A few years back I saw a construction worker wearing a t-shirt with a swastika. For a minute I thought I should inform him of it's meaning and how many people would find it offensive.
Then I thought a second longer and decided that it would not be worth the hassle of the conversation. I could imagine he had no idea of the history of the symbol and in all likelyhood had never heard of Nazism so what would be the point.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guna_people
The Guna flag was adopted after the 1925 rebellion against Panamanian suppression. Horizontal stripes have a proportion of 1:2:1 and the central swastika is an ancestral symbol called Naa Ukuryaa. According to one explanation, it symbolizes the four sides of the world or the origin from which peoples of the world emerged.[5] In another explanation, it symbolises the octopus that created the world, its tentacles pointing to the four cardinal points.[6] Also known as the flag of Guna Yala island today, the flag was used for the province of San Blas until 2010 and also is used as the Guna ethnic flag. The central stripe, meaning peace and purity, is white on the official flag of the reservation, officially adopted by Guna National Congress, while yellow stripe is used on the ethnic flag (it was introduced on the flag at about 1940). In 1942 the flag was modified with a red ring (representing the traditional Kuna nose-ring) encompassing the center of the swastika because of Nazi associations; the ring was later abandoned.[7]

Arrived a bit late here but YaTingPom "It’s like 1000s of expat nutters on riverside all at once" Actual lol. Haven't been "nou srok khmei" for 12 years but back then met several alarmingly candid expats who expressed nazi sympathies complaining that back in Germany its illegal to do so. That crate may contain the ark of the covenant though, and my 2 pennies worth says the swastika at that angle is definitely the nazi hakenkreuz.
