I mean... the point would stand better with the right flags. As it is, the statement is simply false.

Post of an overly simplistic and even incorrect information is defended by attacking the critics. Perfect representation of our time.

That nazi flag is incorrect. Having it squared instead of diamond shaped makes it too much like the Buddhist one which isn't racist.
Gehennan
Eh, if you see someone saluting the first flag, you should probably still punch them in the face first and get all vexillogical afterwards.

While you are correct. I recognize the red flag and white circle before I notice the angle of the swastika.

Germany quickly banned Nazi symbols after the war. Meanwhile the USA, 150 years after their civil war, still can't ban Confederate flag...
BrownestofCoats
Yeah that freedom of expression is some BS. I agree that they are all POS but you cannot take away people's rights because you disagree.
BrownestofCoats
Let the POS declare their stupidity so everyone knows who they are and can discount them as quickly as possible.
macgerdo
But if they want to take away your rights? being tolerant for intolerance? my right to ignore your rights?
BrownestofCoats
If they want to take your rights? Let them talk. Be tolerant of intolerance? Yes. That is what freedom of expression means. Keep in mind 1/

though, freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences. Let people find that out. The hard way if necessary. People cannot 2/

Which one lasted longer? Nazi Germany or Confederation?
DukeDarkwood
Confederate States of America existed about 4 years, 2 months. The Nazi Party held power from 01/1933-05/1945, so 12 years and 4 months.

(Maybe only 3 months; it says Hitler was appointed Chancellor on January 30th.)
