I once got a comment on lemmy world removed for “disinformation” because I said the Azov Battalion’s logo was based on a nazi symbol. Like they don’t give a shit about the truth they just want it as an excuse to push whatever hegemonic bullshit the american empire is on at the time.
It is a Wolfsangel not a „literal swastika“, as you wrote. That only makes it a little better, though. Both symbols are clearly understood in this context as symbols of nazism today.
The only thing that makes it “a little better” (for the Nazis that is) is that it’s not widely recognized as a Nazi symbol by the general public just yet. Allowing them to essentially hide in plain sight :))))
If anything that sucks more because it lacks the explicitly that a standard swastika has.

It’s why I don’t feel even remotely bad calling lemmy world a nazi bar. The users are a mixed bag but the mods are outright fascists.
I know you’re playing devils advocate but I can’t pass up the opportunity to join in on the wikipedia game
