Zohran Mamdani caught lying that he understood Plato’s allegory of the cave, yet when asked to explain it, he seemed to instead explain Baudrillard’s theory of Simulacra and Simulation where reality has been replaced by symbols and signs, which seems similar to Plato’s theory but is not the same

Agreed. Both my parents and one uncle were USMC, my uncle for 19 years. Their “terrifying” tattoos were Marine symbols, not Nazi symbols.

it is fundamentally absurd to say that a guy this deep into milhist wouldn't recognize one of the most well known symbols of the SS *for eighteen years*.

Everytime you drive into a small town and you see the symbols for the rotary and the lions club, those actually used to be welfare providers!

The message is clear: imposed symbols don’t last; the occupation will end. Pokrovsk is Ukraine.

Yes, at no point in history has anyone ever been legitimately angry at Nazi symbols. This is, in fact, something which has never been involved in any large-scale warfare, not even a small punch-up outside of a diner.

A handy guide for knowing when runes & Nordic symbols are cause for concern. Context is always essential.

Some of these figures are literally the people who cited Nazi symbols to justify Putin's invasion of Ukraine.

Man muss sich immer wieder vor Augen führen, dass diese Person kein kleines Kind ist, das gerade beim Kritzeln eines Nazi-Symbols in sein Schulheft erwischt wurde, sondern die Präsidentin des Deutschen Bundestags. 🤮
Frau #Klöckner ist Neutralität nur dann wichtig, wenn sie andere betrifft. Wer Bundestagspräsidentin ist, hat eine besondere Verantwortung unserem Land und unserer #Demokratie gegenüber. Sommerfeste mit rechten Hetzern zu feiern zeigt, wie weit die #CDU nach rechts gerückt ist.

Exactly, CE. History is BRUTAL on cults...once the central figure is gone. Without the personality...holding it all together...the movement doesn’t grow stronger...it shatters.
What survives is a hollow shell...clinging to old symbols...but with none of the force that once animated it.

it is much more funny because "the Ukrainian military is full of guys wearing Nazi symbols (derogatory)" and "the US military is full of guys wearing Nazi symbols (laudatory)" are two positions he now holds.
it's funny that the "ukraine needs to roll over to russia" is the same guy arguing now "wokeness is how the DNCC is removing platner from the race" on Jacobin

From Taylor Swift to Graham Platner, the internet has been lighting up with talk of far-right and Neo Nazi dogwhistles lately.
Luckily for you, I’m fluent in the language of the worst people on the internet.
Today, I’m breaking down some common symbols, sayings and images of the far right:
