Very good. The nazis "borrowed" quite a few symbols. Even the swastika was hijacked. In order to prove that Sweden isn't a fascist state, it should start by obliterating all of Swedens king Karl (Charles) XII's statues (swedes will know what I mean).

YOu are missing the point. If this symbol means this, before Hitler, why even use anything remotely close to it?

The image of the fasces on the reverse side of a dime is from the "Mercury" dime. This coin design was introduced in 1916 and replaced by the Roosevelt dime, which has a torch on the reverse, in 1946.

Funding for the construction of the Lincoln Memorial was authorized in 1911, construction began in 1915 and the Memorial was dedicated in 1922.

The present House chamber was completed in 1857; the mace which your conspira-loon site makes so much of dates to 1841; the use of a ceremonial mace goes back farther than that, to the beginning of the 19th century.

At the time they were adopted, these were symbols of republican government.

Although the term fascio was used in Italian politics earlier, Benito Mussolini didn't found the Fascist political party until 1919, after the designs of all these items were settled.

Can you say anachronism? How about non causa?



Can you say, BULLSHIT!

Uh, no. Not nearly good enough. Address his points or admit that you are the one being "sad, evasive, and down right ignorant."

My brother's brain size is irrelevant right now. Stick with the details of the info I posted. But you know what, its not about black or white with me, its about info, and where it leads me. I SERIOUSLY do not want to name call, insult, or any of that shit anymore. I just want the truth, can we stick to that. What the fuck is fighting going to get us or accomplish?I am just tired of this shit. I just want peace, and meaningful convo. I promise not offend anymore people, I just want meaningful convo, and some input. Is that okay?

Yeah at first I did it to insult, I cannot lie, but it is pointless, and just furthers the agenda of those who want to keep us separated.

The point of the article you cited in your first post was:

From the article:
Serious questions need to be asked about why the very platform of supposed representative government in the United States is adorned with tributes to Nazi symbols of absolute dictatorial power.

That was no insult. That was information. This is an insult:

Yes.

In fact, let's start over.

Rather what you've got as an OP for this thread, why don't you start over by stating, in your own words, your concerns and the observations that drive those concerns?

The only person keeping us seperated is you, and your inability to ask or answer direct questions without putting on a " I know something that you don't, so I'm smarter than you" attitude.

The swastika was, among other things, used as a symbol of worship by Hindus:

"The word Swastika comes from the Sanskrit words su, meaning well, and asti, meaning to be.

The swastika is an equilateral cross with its arms bent at right angles either clockwise or anticlockwise. It is traditionally oriented so that a main line is horizontal, though it is occasionally rotated at forty-five degrees, and the Hindu version often has a dot in each quadrant.

The swastika has not always been used as a symbol of Nazism and was in fact borrowed from Eastern cultures. It seems to have first been used by early inhabitants of Eurasia. It is an important symbol in Eastern religions, notably Hinduism and Buddhism, among others, and was also used in Native American faiths before World War II. By the early twentieth century it was regarded worldwide as a symbol of good luck and auspiciousness."

So are you suggesting that somehow Hindus are ultimately responsable for fascism?
