#nazi symbols

[spot-the-antisemitism]

Is this a Nazi symbol?

Didn’t know who else to ask.

Dear Loki,

You have come to the right place! If the red and white background didn’t give it away the answer is yes!

this is the wolfsangel, an ancient Germanic symbol repopularized in the nationalist 1920s german fiction novel “Die Werhwolf” (where the protagonist revives ancient tradition as his personal symbol for his peasant militia) and was later appropriated by the nazis.

the wolfsangel graced the insignia of many a infantry and luftwaffen unit (you could see something like the image above painted on a tank or a helmet) and after sinking into obscurity was appropriated by neo-nazi gangs taking advantage of it not being on the banned symbols list.

Not to be confused with the Ruzzian Zed used by Russian nationalists, the wolfsangel has amiddle part, the Zed lacks, as it’s derived from the patriotic (and historically revisionist) victory day ribbon folded in a Z shape.

the irony of the wolfsangel is that it was used to kill wolves. This is at odds with the Nazi wolf and werewolf imagery. I think it’s poetic irony that such an ideology glorifies the seeds or its destruction.

Yours,

Cecil

You made a comment on Feb 12 in regard to a goy being an ass and said the nazis were pagans. Which surprised me because I know theres a neo-pagan movement today and such but overall could you elaborate?

In order for Nazism to gain traction, Hitler, and Himmler specifically, needed a faith system in order to unite the German people. They took elements of historic Nordic and Germanic pagan belief and archaeology- Nazi archaeology relied on trying to convince the world that there was an indeed an ancient race of Aryans and that Germans were their descendents. They appropriated Nordic and Slavic sites, claiming they were in fact Germanic, and sometimes even faked discoveries.

Himmler especially wanted to impose his idea of "true Germanic paganism" onto the German people in order to distance themselves from Christianity and create more of a "unique" identity that seperated Germans from other Europeans, to unite them under a shared Volk identity. He also was obsessed with religious relics that he claimed were of German origin, or could at least give legitimacy to the Nazis by being symbols of power. One of the things he tried to popularize was the concept of Thingspiel, which he claimed was based on ancient Germanic pagan celebrations. The Nazis built amphitheatres on sites they claimed were the ancient sites of Germanic pagan gathering sites, although some sites were pure fabrications.

Most Nazi symbols are taken from Nordic runes or, in the case of a swastika, from symbols they found in archaeological sites that they believed was proof of a universal Aryan race. In reality, swastikas were just a simple symbol to draw and often depicted a star or the sun in archaeological finds. There's been swastikas found in archaelogical sites around the world. Neo-Nazis today rely on their idea of Germanic paganism, and the modern Norse pagan community is unfortunately rife with Nazis.

The move to ban Nazi symbols has been welcomed by those researching the rise of far-right extremism in Australia. Deakin University researcher Dr Josh Roose said Nazi symbolism plays a role in recruitment. "It's used as a form not only of intimidation and threatening communities within our wider national community, but it's also used as a recruitment mechanism that's used to attempt to entice young men in particular, to join their movements."

"No it's cool, it was reclaimed."

So the other day, just kinda trying to follow a conversation some people were having on Discord, I saw the topic of Nazi symbols rear its... quite literally ugly head, as people were trying to have a civil little chat with someone who really wanted to see people posting that one Nazi frog. Short answer is no, that's still not OK, there is never going to be a time when that is OK, and the fact that you're even testing the waters is about as big of a red flag as they come, but let's take a moment to articulate why.

As anyone who's been following me for any length of time should know, along with anyone who's just been dealing with violent threats and intimidation from Nazis over the past decade give or take, there's this frog, see. Really, a couple variations on it. Nazis just absolutely love using this frog as profile images, making it into response macros in chats and spamming it, putting it into little forum signatures, putting it on lapel pins, just generally displaying it like it's their corporate sponsor or something. How this came to be the symbol or choice for this I'll eventually circle back around to, but first let's talk about why they do this, and why it's important to take action when you see it.

All nazis start out as people, just like you or me, except they're just sort of bad at being a person. Some combination of not developing proper social skills or morality, failing at everything they try, and failing to recognize how crap like how the "hero" always "gets the girl" in movies doesn't reflect how reality actually works leaves them all bitter and self-pitying and receptive to Nazi recruitment, and from there they slowly get indoctrinated until there's nothing left of them but a hollowed out husk of a human being who will focus on trying to ruin or end the lives of any normal functional human being they have pitched at them as "the enemy." Which tends to be anyone sufficiently marginalized by society that attacking them won't result in the sort of general outrage from onlookers that they have to worry about getting their teeth kicked in in response.

Because they're miserable losers trying to make themselves feel big by targeting only the most defenseless people they can find, they always need the psychological security of knowing people around them have their backs. Ideally other nazis, but you know, in a pinch, it's also good to know about people who are maybe sympathetic to them, or at least see them as harmless, or are conflict averse enough to not intervene if they get rowdier, or hate some of the same people they hate, etc. And of course if they just stood up and shouted, "Hey everybody! I'm a Nazi! How do you all feel about that!?" then unless they happened to be in a super pro-nazi room, the likely and correct response would quiet likely be that Nazi being absolutely mobbed by decent people and faced with justified violence until such point as there was no longer a Nazi in the room.

So, symbols it is! Want to see if people around you are on your side without calling too much attention to yourself? Have some symbols you can flash in a crowd that probably won't mean anything to anyone but the people in your in group. Want to know if a place you're gonna hang around in is onto what an evil piece of garbage you and people like you are? There's more recognized symbols for that. Want to know if they're happy to have you around? There's universally well-known ones for that.

Now obviously it's not like Nazis keep some sort of formal hierarchical list of all their symbols in some sort of central repository. It's all a lot more ad hoc, with new ones getting introduced and tested out and all that, and it's also not like all Nazis talk to each other so some of these can be pretty local, or just for a single event even. Like if a bunch of Nazis are planning to crash a pride parade in Wyoming one year maybe when they're trying to organize that someone goes "hey everyone wear a white polo shirt and a set of mirror shades so we recognize each other" and yeah, on that particular day, at that particular event, polo shirts and mirror shades are Nazi symbols. They probably aren't going to continue being seen as such past that event, unless maybe someone records them beating some queer people to death and shouting the 14 words or something and inspiring other Nazis planning other crap to copy that look, but you know, after seeing that go down you probably wouldn't want to walk around Wyoming with a white polo and mirror shades the next day. Oh and of course if their whole big plan boils down to all of three people dressed up the same way lost in a crowd and not finding each other, or running into someone who caught wind of their planning and beaten down, yeah that looks really not gonna take off as the new Nazi fashion.

The real point I'm making here though is it's not like there's some sort of Nazi brand manager really sweating over the creation of new Nazi symbols and distributing them and getting everyone properly kitted out with them. It's organic, it's shifting, and if a particular symbol gets more and more recognized by other Nazis on a more global scale, or gets recognized more and more by normal people as a Nazi symbol, usage of that one is going to just natural shift to the sort of contexts where they're comfortable being a lot more open with it. Which in turn means if the average person recognizes something as a Nazi symbol, it's a particularly bad one and seeing it displayed is a sign of imminent danger.

All that having been said, let's get back to that ugly Nazi frog. That one is a SUPER well-recognized Nazi symbol today. Like if a Nazi wants to have absolutely no subtlety at all, they're probably still going to just straight up fly the Nazi flag or wear a red armband with a swastika on it, but IMMEDIATELY below that on the latter we have the damn frog. At this point seeing that thing might be a bigger indicator that a Nazi has shown up to throw down than seeing someone fly the Confederate flag, and that one's literally a red flag symbolizing a readiness to go to war on the side of white supremacy.

Personally speaking, as someone Nazis have been pretty vocal for some time about wanting to see dead, and not even just in a broad categorical sense, I see any of the above, I am in immediate fight or flight mode, and I am going to take whatever steps feel prudent for my life and safety. What those are going to be depend on context, but one way or another I'm not going to share space with someone so clearly broadcasting their desire to see me dead, and we are not going to have a discussion about my stance. If you are present, you should have my back here, if you are responsible for the venue someone is flashing this hate symbol in, you have a moral obligation to remove the offending Nazi. Like I know in general we have a societal problem where most people in charge of moderation duties were taught completely wrong, but hopefully the "Nazi bar story" has been circulating around well enough for people to finally be on the same page about this.

Returning to this conversation I walked in on the other day, someone I'm forced by the facts of this anecdote to assume was a Nazi shows up in this server that I suppose I'd give a C- on moderation when it comes to this (the Nazis who eventually show up do eventually all get the boot, but the people doing the booting tend to be frustratingly slow in strapping the boot on) just sort of out of the blue and passionately objecting to people's objections at seeing that frog. Safe to assume I got here late and missed a deployment and deletion of said. But the main argument this person was going with was that the Nazi frog "had been totally reclaimed" and trying to compare it to "the OK symbol."

So... OK, let's knock out the sidetrack first I guess. Nazis, especially ones with a 4chan background, are absolutely OBSESSED with doing these "false flag operations," where they try to frame one group of people by pretending to be them and get some other group of people to mindlessly attack them. To be fair they had one absolutely massive success with this, getting Nazi crap back into general public view by pretending to be angry about something involving video games a decade ago (again, unless you're REAL new here, we've covered this plenty), but almost always failing to get things off the ground, or only catching enough attention to generate maybe an article or two about their sad little stunt. One of these a couple years back was an effort to convince people that the "OK" symbol (you know, where you touch your thumb and pointer finger and splay the rest out) was a "secret nazi symbol" and... really the whole thing was so poorly thought out it's hard to even follow the logic. I assume the goal was to get people who kept tabs on Nazi activities to start violently attacking anyone who used this long-established gesture that things are going well, thinking it was always and exclusively some secret signifier of hate, or something? In practice I don't think most people have any awareness this was a thing, and the people who do were just the Nazis absolutely failing to make it happen, and people like me monitoring hate groups watching a bunch of prominent Nazis make asses of themselves trying to make an alternative to a thumbs up look sinister on cameras for like maybe a week. There's no "symbol being reclaimed" here there's just a poorly thought out prank failing to get off the ground.

This of course does not compare in any way to the frog, which again, legitimately is at this point a broadly recognized Nazi symbol with no other meaning attached to it, displayed explicitly to intimidate targets and establish whether Nazis are welcome in a space. So the notion that it has been "reclaimed" is absolutely ludicrous, but also I have to take a moment to ponder what that would even mean.

Like, the first thing that comes to my mind when we talk about "reclaiming" is the word "queer." There was a period in, what, the 1970s? where if you heard the word "queer" it was almost certainly being shouted by a bigot in the same way you'd hear someone now deploying a certain three letter slur starting with an F... which honestly had taken over the role as go-to slur by the start of the '80s, and really nobody was particularly saying "queer" with any real regularity besides bigots too old and out of touch to even stay current on their hate speech by the time we got to the big ol' social movement from the people who'd had it shouted at them to do a whole international series of demonstrations with people marching through the streets of major cities shouting "We're here! We're queer! Get used to it!" in a way that I'm pretty sure is so thoroughly burned into our collective memory that I really shouldn't need to explain this to anyone.

And of course since then it's grown into this big ol' catch-all umbrella term, because every other term we have for queer people is weirdly specific and plenty of things aren't otherwise covered, and this is a pretty natural outgrowth for a term that originally just meant kinda meant "atypical" and was tossed around for a century or so to refer to anyone who wasn't both cis and straight before the terms "cis" and "straight" had really caught on, and not always in a negative light. So yeah we took this term that was frankly super handy to have as a neutral discriptor for a broad group of people dealing with bigotry and reclaimed it from people specifically using it in an explicitly hateful context.

So the two things that would have to happen to "reclaim" the Nazi frog would be it no longer being so strongly associated with hate and violence, which, yeah, that has not happened, and no effort is being made to make that happen, and then the people who it was weaponized against would start using it again as their own symbol before Nazis corrupted it.

But, you know, for THAT to be popular, it would have to have originally been a symbol used by the people being targeted with it. So, broadly and in no particular order, queer people, particularly trans people, Jews, people with disabilities, women, particularly those not actively onboard with being Nazi brood mares with no rights of any sort, anyone who isn't white, and anyone else who understands that Nazis are evil, dangerous, and must be eradicated. And uh... that's kinda just most people? Not really a single particular group with a need to rally behind a symbol, nor is there any subgroup within that that has ever, in any way, used the Nazi frog to represent anything.

Where did that frog even come from before it became a Nazi symbol anyway? Well, for a good bit it was one of the symbols people used to indicate that they were a 4chan poster, but... OK we already covered the Nazi bar thing. 4chan is absolutely "a Nazi bar." It's openly welcomed Nazis forever, more or less since it was founded, they use the aforementioned three letter F-slur like a piece of punctuation. I've shared some pretty strong thoughts on the site and its relationship to Nazis before, and there's a pretty strong case to argue that the mascot of a well-known Nazi hangout is kind of already a Nazi symbol by default.

So OK, where did the Nazi frog come from before THAT? Well, some webcomic. So far as I know, said webcomic doesn't have a damn thing to do with any of the various marginalized people Nazis hate either. Just kind of a stoner/slacker thing. And I am of course fuzzy on the details because it's deeply obscure. If it was something anyone had otherwise heard of, it wouldn't have ever ended up as this weird obscure thing for people to paste in places to indicate that they're "from 4chan" because that was otherwise the only place anyone beyond the creator of said comic or however many fans it may have or have had would ever recognize it.

So... the people being targeted with the hate here can't "reclaim" the symbol because it was never ours. The creator of the comic and it's fans could potentially reclaim it if they were the ones being attacked with it, but they're not, and the creator quite sensibly killed off the character featured to end any associate between himself and this clear hate symbol, so, if that's your background it's extra disrespectul to flash that symbol. Random 4chan posters REALLY can't reclaim it because I mean, they're literally the people who initially made this into a symbol of anti-queer/pro-nazi sentiment. There remains, to this day, absolutely no reason for anyone to post that thing anywhere than to try and proclaim it as a Nazi-friendly space, and as such everyone's reaction to seeing it in absolutely any context should be swift and brutal. Same for the other symbols mentioned here.

Hell, you could honestly actually make a better argument for the damn swastika. I mean, nobody would ever buy it, nor should they, but at least it actually did exist in an actual positive context a century ago unlike the rest of this crap.

This reminds me of the time my fiancé and I were driving around Franklin, Tennessee and we came across a gated community with a 8-10 ft Othala w/ feet (2nd row, 2nd from the left) sculpture. I wish we had gotten a picture, but two Jews stopping outside of that particular community would not end well.

Remember kids, Nazis don't deserve their kneecaps.

Also if any of these are incorrect pls lemme know

I keep seeing people bitching about "uwu when I say 'from the river to the sea' people say I'm calling for geeenocide! They say I'm antisemitic!" and like.

Maybe. instead of clinging to a phrase that a bunch of white leftists have co-opted because they think it sounds nice. And digging your little immature heels in. You should LISTEN when people tell you that yes. The phrase's FUCKING ORIGIN was a call for the eradication of Jews from the area known as Israel and Palestine. That NO, you cannot divorce it from those roots. YES, it IS still used to mean that TO THIS DAMN DAY.

And look. Maybe you DON'T think that Israelis should all be killed and/or exiled from Israel and Palestine. Maybe you DON'T think that the genocide of an entire people is the solution. Maybe you DON'T hate Jews and want all of us dead. And if that's the case? Great!

But how the FUCK are we supposed to tell the difference when you are using the EXACT same phrase as countless people who DO want those things. People who DO hate Jews, who ARE supportive of organizations that want to commit violence, people who SUPPORT what happened on October 7th?

When people tell you "hey, this phrase means something else, it has ALWAYS come from those roots, and using it is NOT OKAY because it is STILL used as a rallying cry for violence against Israelis and Jews worldwide", the way to react? Is NOT to fucking double down and use it.

Because that? DOES make you an antisemite. And if I see you using that phrase? Then I MUST assume that at best, you do not know what it means and have SOMEHOW avoided the countless Jews and non-Jews I have seen talking about it, or at WORST you actively hate me and want me and every single one of my people dead.

And frankly? You are not worth that risk to interact with.

Stop saying it. There are SO many ways to support Palestine, the Palestinian people, and their fight for rights, that do not involve spouting genocidal, antisemitic rhetoric. it is NOT HARD.

But apparently, some of y'all are insistent on being racist.

Dr Roose said the government has other levers at its disposal to tackle the rise of far-right extremism, particularly targeting the disadvantaged and disenfranchised. "They are treating the symptom in terms of addressing the rise of the far-right movements that have been using them," Dr Roose said. "What really needs to be done is to address the broader deeper issues that have given rise. Here we're talking about increasing socio-economic inequalities, we're talking about regions that are really facing significant socio-economic challenges, people who are feeling marginalised, alienated, angry, and that has a requires a whole of government approach. It requires a realignment of our economic approaches, that requires a consideration of the role of our education system, and it requires a broader conversation about the polarisation that we've seen emerge in Australia over the last half decade."

The Florida Republican legislator who praised Javier Milei and then praised Argentina with the straight up nazi thinking of "one race, one culture, one religion", which is not only Nazi propaganda but a complete and absolute lie, really puts into perspective the whole "ARGENTINA IS WHITE XDXDXDXDDX" memes anglos have been spreading uncritically like it's just a funny joke. It's not an insult, it's an ASPIRATION for them. They WANT to be the Nazi Argentina which only exists in their heads and memes.

They had so much fun calling us nazis and there you have it, straight up white supremacists in their politics praising and supporting our far right, which has also been funded by US "think-tanks" such as the Atlas Network. THE CALL IS COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE, YANQUI. YOUR COUNTRY IS THE ONE FULL OF NAZIS, YOU HAVE THEM IN YOUR GOVERMENT, IN YOUR POLICE, IN YOUR MILITARY.
