Coast Guard reclassifies swastikas and nooses as hate symbols after backlash
The US Coast Guard on Thursday issued a memo that reclassifies swastikas and nooses as “hate symbols,” in a rapid about-face after facing intense scrutiny for a previous policy change which downplayed their display as merely “potentially divisive.”
salix sericea (@Ripple13216)Me: Apparently the organizers felt they didn't have enough flags for such a grand event, so they raided a museum.
L: <eyebrows up>
Me: They pulled some historic German flags.
L: <smile fades>
Me: They have small...
L: ...
Me: ...swastikas, yes.
So, yes, they never went away. No, you have not heard about this event because the swastikas are black on black metal, you need to get pretty close to see them.
Welcome to the turd reich, my friends, happy Friday.
Whenever I read something about US soldiers and swastikas, my simple mind goes to an event which prompted me to waddle to legal and have the following conversation [edited for brevity] with military lawyer L.
Me: So, about the big event this morning.
L: The dedication?
Me: Yes, the one with speeches, a marching band, easily a thousand soldiers from several NATO countries.
L: What about it?
Me: There might be career implications for someone.
L: I'm listening.

Mark Wyner Won’t Comply 
Y’all. Lots of people are reporting that the Coast Guard swastika news (https://mas.to/@markwyner/115583795290081702) was fake.
It’s interesting that so many people are quick to believe a lying nazi who was given a nod by the U.S. dictator.
Receipts are attached. These screenshots are from the actual policy published BY the Coast Guard ON THEIR WEBSITE.

Flipboard News DeskThe U.S. Coast Guard reverses course on policy to call swastikas and nooses "potentially divisive."
@AssociatedPress reports: "The term was a shift from a years-long policy that said symbols like swastikas and nooses were 'widely identified with oppression or hatred.'"
Coast Guard reverses course on plan to call swastikas, nooses 'potentially divisive'
The U.S. Coast Guard has released a new, firmer policy addressing the display of hate symbols like swastikas and nooses just hours after it was publicly revealed that it made plans to describe them as “potentially divisive” — a term that prompted outcry from lawmakers and advocates. The latest Coast Guard policy, released late Thursday, declared, “Divisive or hate symbols and flags are prohibited.” It added that this category included “a noose, a swastika, and any symbols or flags co-opted or adopted by hate-based groups.” The late-night chnage also unequivocally banned the display of any divisive or hate symbols from all Coast Guard locations.
Some GuyAs per The Meidas Touch this morning, the #US #Fascist #Regime backtracked on the decision to remove the #swastika and #noose from the Coast Guard's divisive symbols policy after mass outrage.

ferretbutterfly at KillBaitCoast Guard Reclassifies Swastika as 'Potentially Divisive' Instead of Hate Symbol
Reclassifying the swastika as 'potentially divisive' rather than a hate symbol seems like an attempt to balance historical context with current sensitivities. However, given its association with Nazi atrocities, the decision might risk downplaying its deep impact on communities affected by hate and ...
