A Nazi swastika (like this): not acceptable (Yes, it was used by Buddhists in the third Century, etc, etc, but that's not what it represents now. To the vast majority of people, the swastika represents the Holocaust. A nation with a swastika appears to be endorsing that event; that's malicious and has the primary effect of offending.)
VS
The hammer and sickle: fine (Yes, I'm aware of the hundreds of millions of deaths. But when people look at the hammer and sickle, they think communism, not mass graves. If you can point me at a survey that shows otherwise, then we'll deem this one malicious, too. But until then, it's just a Soviet flag.)
Both definitions are correct , a Nazi swastika can mean the holocaust and the hammer and sickle can mean mass graves.
Now, you guys only define one as bad and the other as good because most people are illiterate potatoes that don't know the that communists commited atrocities as bad as the Nazis did.
The hypocrisy here is that YOU (mods) know of this fact and yet DECIDE to ignore it on the sole reason of your personal beliefs. I would bet that most of you have no problem at all with anything left wing but as soon as someone shows a swastika all hell breaks loose.
Ban al the flags related to the Mao's People's Republic of China ( he killed more than the Nazis did), Ban anything Stalin's Soviet Union ( he killed more than the Nazis), Ban the Swastika, Ban anything Japanese too because of Hideki Tojo. ( not doing so, according to your own policies, would be an offense to Japanse families who suffered under this imbecile of a man..
I could go on.
Do the right thing not just what you are pressed to do. Have some guts.
Cheers
