I wasn't sure at first, but then I spotted the OK hand. Nazi shit. Related:

I'd not encountered the ok hand before. What is it supposed to represent?

I spent too long looking for it in the image you posted.

My only experience with it from maybe 2015 was, "It's okay to be white." from the kek crowd which was intended to troll people into saying it's not okay to be white. Still, a white-centeic symbol.

the erroneous claim that "the active forces in the field against the King's tyranny never amounted to more than 3% of the colonists" during the American Revolution.

What.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah, only three percent of American's in the future USA managed to fight off one of the most competent armies in the world at the time. Ok, tell me how.

[–] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 2 points 1 month ago

But why 3% why not 2% or 4%, I assume 5% is right out.

... Want t, I'm trying to reason about something reason forsake.

There's a chance it could be that old "white power symbol" self-fulfilling psyop.

I feel like I've seen a few of these in non-Nazi contexts ... But maybe I'm just being naive.

Isn't the top-down view pyramid the logo for the Helghast race from the Killzone video game? This this poster supposed to be a joke?

[–] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Maybe, but keep in mind this isn't some cohesive group, but a large array of small factions with their own identity. The need to identify themselves to each and how changes constantly when a symbol becomes too well known.

You've got their plates, try the police?

Also, anyone that has this many decals on their vehicle is unhinged.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 21 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Cops won't do shit. Being a nazi is not a crime, in and of itself.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Much to my dismay! I mean god damn. My grandfather fought a war over this. Why aren't they listed as a terrorist organization?

[–] Dark_Arc@social.packetloss.gg 3 points 1 month ago

Agree to some extent, labeling things terrorist organizations is kind of a slippery slope in the post-911 US though.

Yeah good luck getting cops to give a shit. Probably is cop adjacent anyway

If it's a recent picture, his tags are expired. They might care about that.

[–] stringere@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

I've watched cops flip on their lights for an expired temp tag and then turn them off when they see the thin blue line flag.
