I detect some serious thoughtcrime in your question Allan - we will meet in the place where there is no darkness.

I personally don’t like the nazi symbols . The India symbol is in the opposite direction I believe but it looks eerily the same. I’d be happy not to see any nazi symbols but sadly there are people who wear it on their bodies. Just my thoughts. I honestly don’t think banning a symbol makes the hate go away. The people who embrace this symbol are more than likely full of hate. Maybe better to let them display it so you know what you are dealing with and get the hell out of there.

Yes but where does it stop? "symbols of hate" could be anything the government decides. This is exactly what happened (is happening) in communist China, actually anywhere there is communism. Under the hammer and sickle there were hundreds of millions killed - Nazi crimes don't even come close. But are we going to ban the hammer and sickle?

I like swastikas, always have. I don't wear them or display them, just like I don't use the N word or many other edgy epithets in public. I do that out of social manners, not acquiescence to political correctness. But when in grade school, I idly drew them in my notebooks, left facing and right facing. I think sun wheels is a fair approximation of their symbolic derivation. And they seem to me a symbol of strength, along with the stylized lightning bolt which also has fascist associations.

What's the next symbol of hate to be banned? Not the cross, tho i've read Israel has banned the plus mark + in grade schools, likely religious ones. I think the target will be things that symbolize resistance to leftist conformity. Confederate flags (stars and bars) trigger a lot of woke anger. If it makes them angry, well we can't have that.

I would say one symbol that should be designated hateful is the democrat donkey.

Indeed - as long as it places us in a position where we realise war is peace which leads to freedom which is slavery ;-)

Ukraine is banning the letters Z and V, symbols of the evil Rooskies. Soon there will be no more ebras in oology; and no more iolations of our human right not to be offended by "letters" (:

It is not the banning of that thingy that matters; it is who are behind that move that matters. Notice how quick all parties are to appease those lobbyists.

Not sure if it will come through ok, but above is the mask emoji. If anything has devolved into a hate symbol, masks are it.

The cross certainly. Likely various national flags, the American flag in particular. The English flag of St. George and Canada's old Red Ensign are already basically considered hate symbols.

The symbol for male will remain acceptable so long as it is interlinked with the symbol for male.

Those who adopted ☭ as their symbol maimed, tortured and killed many times more people than those who adopted 卐, but this is one of those uncomfortable truths not to be mentioned anywhere in today's propaganda.

Hypocritical Evil Anna is a symbol of hate and fear. Her lockdown and mask policies the very epitome of Nazism and fascism. She is the symbol of nazism. She had better ban herself. Or we all should next election.
