I like this game, but it frustrates me...

Why don't we all just calm down and wait for this to end?

Again, i didn't accuse you of anything. I never said you did any of those things, now did i? Good try though.

Not all Communists are genocidal. All Nazis ARE genocidal. See the difference? Good, good.

No... See, all I need to do is find one example throughout history of one non-genocidal Nazi and I've proven you wrong... That is easy, how about an SS-Policeman, believes in strengthening his weak country, proudly calling himself a Nazi, but neither condoning or perpetrating the genocide happening in the background. But I am sure that there were only a few million people like that.

Nope. Nazis support genocide. Infact, they were even very much like a cult according to history.

If you think a thread is being threadjacked, then adding more threadjack to the mix is hardly an appropriate response.

I fear I have already cast my die by posting here, so I'm caught as it were. But I will refrain from posting anymore.

So you are willing to say that literally 100% of Nazis were genocidal. Odd... Given that numerous unaware civilians joined the Nazi Party to try to better their nation, not to exterminate a race. And after the party came to power, many people joined to help their social image and because it gave them more opportunities, were those innocent civilians killing millions of people?

Yeah I know, and it's a pity, if it weren't for XA, Greece would have one of the best political landscapes in the world.

Yes, I believe so, although there is ΝΔ which is fairly right wing and a number of right wing parties.
Also, KKE is communist but it is also somewhat conservative in nature. It isn't the best communist party as far as progressivism is concerned.

We've got our own KKE here in Spain (and also our own Syriza) it's called PCPE, Communist party of the peoples' of Spain, which represents that branch of 'conservative' (although they are more progressive than KKE) communism, and marxism-leninism. I don't like them preety much, but I prefer them to other parties.

Btw, I heard that when LAOS was wiped out, many of them went to ND or XA, and this has made ND go more towards the right, is this true? has ND gone in coalition with XA somewhere?

Still, there's some inconsistency between the swastika being banned while anyone edgy who feels like it can use the Daesh flag without repercussions.

And from a purely aesthetic point of view it should obviously be the other way around.

Oh many LAOS members went to ND that truly made them go to the right, although their public image is too great to join XA. Some members of ND have somewhat fascist beliefs, though.

Its been building up a head of steam lately.

(there were a few signs on previous threads).

[Greater Istanistan]

The Whermact fought for Germany, not the Nazi Party.

They fought for Germany. Which was ruled by the exceptionally popular Nazi Party.

Also, we can blame all those those other deaths on the Nazis, because they started the whole crapfest.

The Nazi Swastika is, by nature, an overtly racist symbol promoting hate against a wide variety of minorities which are common on this site. By legalizing the use of the swastika, NS would drive away large numbers of people formerly happy to come here or make them deeply uncomfortable. From a purely practical standpoint, it's terrible policy. From an ethical standpoint, I don't believe that a symbol which stands for "let's kill Jews, Slavs, and the gays" should be allowed to be used. Using it is effectively hate speech, because by wielding it you endorse that. By contrast, the hammer and sickle has been used by more people than just Stalin and Mao. It has a long and varied history, and could be endorsing anyone from Marx himself to any one of the democratic Communist movements which have no association with the crimes of other regimes.

To put it simply, there is exactly one connotation and one meaning for the Nazi swastika. That's endorsement of mass genocide and ethnic cleansing. By contrast, the hammer and sickle (as my primary example) can mean any number of things.

Definition of Nazi, from merriamwebster.com:

~a member of a German political party that controlled Germany from 1933 to 1945 under Adolf Hitler
~an evil person who wants to use power to control and harm other people especially because of their race, religion, etc.

I think that's why swastikas are not permitted on NSG.

Yeah, it happens every year around this time.

[MERIZoC]

Gosh, yes, let's whine about how our hatred is looked down upon by the people we hate. That sounds productive.

[Torisakia]

The key to getting a swastika as a flag is to have everyone simultaneously change their flags in swastikas. The mods will get so fed up with having to go through each individual to reset the flag that they'll just lift the ban. It's foolproof.

Eh, at least the OP's argument was better than "b-but the Buddhists used it!!".

Isn't there a ban on referencing NS summer?

[Abserdia]

They would need to use the old swastika's then. Swastika's here in the west are portrayed as a nazi symbol, when they actually mean peace. Well, before Hitler came around.

Hitler ruined the toothbrush moustache too.
