Gonna be real, I don’t think that’s got anything to do with Nazism at all and isn’t nazi style… Probably a relationship he has or something or a different affiliation.
for the trained eye from germany this certainly refers to NS – National Socialism. also, there are s few ways to depict a lightning bolt with a few simple lines. this variant would be the last choice b/c of its ambiguity.
It’s not Gothic Germanic, and even then, that’s not necessarily nazi either.
Note how the “N” is not the same as the N in the picture which is more akin to what we use
I think the Nazi lightning bolt was a lot different, but I’m not so sure.
To be honest, I think it’s more of him and his s/o’s initials. That’s the first thing that comes to mind when I see it. But could be another Nazi dogwhistle. Who knows. Saw someone else call this “Temu Nazi”
You see British Blackletter being used by right wing extremists often as a replacement for Gothic German Fraktur. Nazis often have no sense of typography.
The actual NSDAP Nazis actually discouraged use of Fraktur, because it was thought to be related to Hebrew writing and pushed Grotesque and Antiqua fonts instead.
perhaps, but as a scuba instructor, I am tired of people saying the underwater sign language for “OK” means white power. Context matters. There still should be some effort to understand the intent of the sender, and not just assume the preconceptions of the receiver are the intent. Somone deciding a word or symbol I have been using for my lifetime suddenly means something else does not change my intent. When a Hindu puts a swastika on their house it clearly does not mean the same thing as when a Nazi does. When a spanish art teacher refers to black paint…etc, etc… In cases like this, I think we have enough context that the font and details of the symbol are irrelevant. It is clear what his intent is. If the guy did not share those beliefs, given what he does for a living, I would think he would be more careful about using anything that could be mistaken for Nazi symbology.
Oh, “Roman salute” was the excuse. Where they’re silent is if asked which notable groups of people in the 20th century used the “Roman salute”. Strangely, they go even quieter if you give them the hint that they were based in Italy and Germany in the early part of the 20th century.

It’s just a normal lightning bolt. Too pointy.

Ah fair
Gothic gemanic lettering + lighting bolt?
That’s nazi shit.

Interesting
You sure are going out of your way to excuse things here
“nazi” is a harsh allegation here in Europe. I don’t know about America, but here it shouldn’t be used lightly.
I don’t know about america either.
I’m not american.
You’re wrong on this one and splitting hairs. If the symbology is representative of Nazis to the masses, it’s Nazi.
Maybe they aren’t as autistic as me
Great life lesson for the kids.
That’s how language works. It’s an agreed upon schema. A red stop sign means stop because most people agree that’s what it means.

Yea. But it’s on an ICE agent deporting people because of the color of their skin on an order from a dictator. The context makes it even more obvious.
at this point ppl point out everyrhing. it doesnt even slightly look like a ᛋ
And ᛋ doesnt look exactly the same as s, nazis use the ⚡ emoji all the time, a nazi doesnt care about the specifics
next youll be telling us elon musk didnt throw a roman salute

Look up the SS logo.
