    Brief anecdote. In school, we used to draw swastikas on everything in order to get others in trouble or to make ourselves seem like assholes. At no point did we consider what we were doing ok, it was just kids riding the edge of something they couldn’t understand for the sake of ignominy. Even we, as ignorant as we were, recognized that the swastika was a hate symbol and thoroughly unacceptable, we were, again, just assholes.

    I’ve been saying this quite a lot but this culture war bodes poorly.

      On a similar tangent, I find hilarity in poorly drawn swastikas - or to use an entertaining but horrendously ablest term, a spastika.

      I make no apology for equating the sort of dickhead that scrawls this shit everywhere in adult life with the sort of clueless fuckwit that tests sockets with a fork, and couldn’t pour water out of a boot even if the instructions were on the soles.

      I don’t often like punching down on the lesser-intellectual folk (mainly because I’m dumb as rocks for 23 hours of the day myself) but this is one of the few times I enjoy the opportunity.

        Damn been awhile since I’ve thought about a good old Hale Hortler. Thanks for reminding me that while I might be stupid I at least am better than these fuckwits.
