The U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika — an emblem of fascism and white supremacy inextricably linked to the murder of millions of Jews and the deaths of more than 400,000 U.S. troops who died fighting in World War II — as a hate symbol, according to a new policy that takes effect next month.
Instead, the Coast Guard will classify the Nazi-era insignia as “potentially divisive” under its new guidelines. The new policy, set to take effect Dec. 15, similarly downgrades the definition of nooses and the Confederate flag, though display of the latter remains banned, according to documents reviewed by The Washington Post.
I mean, let’s be honest here: This was going to happen regardless of whether we elected a rapist nazi to POTUS.
If you start caring about nazi hate symbols then you need to get rid of a LOT of the active military… and apparently democrats in Maine.
No. Literal nazi shit is way past where the line used to be. People were routinely kicked out for that kind of shit coming out because a diverse military is objectively better at many things and if you can’t deal with that you are the problem in the eyes of the brass.
