When I see a swastika or something like a totenkopf, my initial thoughts are of those from one side of my family who I've been told died because of the people that used these symbols. So I'm rather hostile towards them.

Some from that side of my genealogy were imprisoned and/or starved by people who used different symbols. So I'm rather hostile to that imagery too.

I see it around so much, and I wonder why it's acceptable. I equate the hammer & sickle with death, like the swastika.

@HolicShot I think Lithuania has banned the hammer and sickle as a hate symbol.

@ebel I mean, I'm not looking to *ban* anything. Certainly not with laws of a state. But I see a much more welcoming attitude towards that symbol, when I see it in the same light as swastikas. People with Swastikas in their profiles or pics get called out all the time, and socially ignored.

You see where I'm going? Am I making any sense? Idk

@HolicShot Well swastika is banned in some countries. I'm trying to point out that other countries view the hammer and sickle similarly. So what you suggest isn't unhead of.
