The U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika — an emblem of fascism and white supremacy inextricably linked to the murder of millions of Jews and the deaths of more than 400,000 U.S. troops who died fighting in World War II — as a hate symbol, according to a new policy that takes effect next month.
Instead, the Coast Guard will classify the Nazi-era insignia as “potentially divisive” under its new guidelines. The new policy, set to take effect Dec. 15, similarly downgrades the definition of nooses and the Confederate flag, though display of the latter remains banned, according to documents reviewed by The Washington Post.
They can reclassify all they like, people still know when they see someone wearing one of those symbols, they’re looking at a POS.

You’re talking about Americans here… The current state of america is a mirror reflection of its majority of people.
The majority of Americans aren’t conservatives. Less than 1/3 of adults voted for trump. That’s not a majority in any kind of math.
No, but a majority either supports it or doesn’t care enough to even vote against it. Trump won the popular vote
There’s no realistic option for “voting against” fascism.
Trump won the unpopular vote with like 20% of citizens. The other fash party got even less. Evil, broken system.
Yes, we live in a fake democracy founded by racist enslavers in order to violently enforce the disgusting privilege of a tiny tiny few.
So where are those people that are vastly outnumbering the nazis?
They’re probably out “not being political” and are ignorant to most curent events.
“If 10 people are sitting at a table being civil to 1 nazi, there are 11 nazis at the table.” or however the quote goes
Except they’re not at the table, they’re all in their own homes eating dinner alone never once realizing that their neighbor is currently hailing nazis.
There are plenty of reasons to dislike the ignorant, but calling them nazis does nothing.
Hiding out from the nazis who have the state, the guns, etc. Trying to resist where we can. Like we’ve been doing for 400+ years despite overwhelming violence…
Depends on the state mate. Us Californians don’t accept this garbage.
At least 6 million of you did, though.
And? There’s 40 million of us, and feel free to look at the distribution map for the 2024 election if you’d like to know which rural areas decided to vote for republicans.
I know, just pointing out that you’re not speaking for all Californians.
The majority of people are just a reflection of the history and current reality of USA tho.
An evil system will never be fixed by blaming its victims.
