I get there's a desire to push back against liberals right now - but Conservativism as an idea isn't being done any favors by being associated with this man.

My brother shared it on FB, with the comment that 'this is not by accident'.
Jesus. I have to be with him for three days this week. He's my brother and I love him but he's way off the reservation.

It's offensive and ignorant as fuck to call them "nazi runes." It's taken a lot of work on the part of scando cultures to re-educate the world about their own history. Norse runes aren't racist, you shitheads, sorry, and no they aren't "Nazi runes." They're far, far older than the Third Reich assholes who used them for their terrible propaganda.

You're, of course, right. But try explaining that to someone who puts a swastika on his sleeve.

maybe the appropriate response is to point out that it's a reasonable stage layout whose association with historical symbols is purely coincidental.

You are of course correct, Horace. The problem is that any attempt at reason would simply be met with a tirade of nutzi indignation from he and his friends. There's just no point.

Entirely depends on the style of swastika.

It's anecdotes like this that make me believe that left wing nuttery is way more prevalent than right wing nuttery. I hear about right wing nuttery from twitter reports by jon, little elsewhere. I live with, and hear personal accounts of, left wing nuttery.
Education is extremely important.
