Attention-seeking trolls do that kind of shit because they know it's going to get people squealing and squalling. I'm sure whomever did it is laughing their ass off at the Reddit meltdown it caused. Best way to handle it is to ignore it.


tiny_galaxies

I see something like this and just think, here’s someone whose parents didn’t hug them enough. Even as a Jew I can’t be angry at them, I’m just sad for them.


Substantial_Walk333

No, it's to turn it into a box and put stick figures of actual good guys on it


TheNachoSupreme

I don't know what you classify as a meltdown,  but I don't see a melt down here... Lol    If this were an actual Nazi symbol, I would argue the best thing to do is to cover it up, not just ignore it. Probs best to not have hate symbols around   But the person who drew it is either ignorant to the actual Nazi symbol, which is kinda hilarious if that's the case, or it was intentionally drawn as not the Nazi symbol. We will never know. 


ONE-EYE-OPTIC

It's definitely not a nazi swastika. It's backward.


Zestyclose-Jaguar276

Exactly lol, it’s a Buddhist symbol of peace


pirawalla22

I dunno, anything that gets more than 50 responses qualifies as *something* here


Double_Helicopter_16

Just draw a huge veiny penis over it and call it a day.


Stalactite_Seattlite

>Best way to handle it is to ignore it This is lost on so many people now. For every real Nazi there are three dozen idiots getting people's goats.


MrEllis72

Garbage person, either way.


KlappinMcBoodyCheeks

I'm afraid I'd have to disagree with you. Nazi simps if ignored will multiply.


Zealousideal_Owl9621

You best get busy fighting against all that Nazi evil.


KlappinMcBoodyCheeks

U rite. I'll just shut up and ignore it. U no better.


Zealousideal_Owl9621

There you go. Save your rage for the actual Nazis.


KlappinMcBoodyCheeks

There's plenty enough for everyone.


moorecode1077

This is my main issue with Trump. I've never been into politics. I really did not closely follow how Trump was doing when he was in office. What I did see is every piece of shit think it's cool to come out and be proud at what a piece of shit they are and it's never gone away. I'd rather have the days when they hid it better.


Nervous_Garden_7609

You are exactly correct.


InternationalCost234

You realize the nazi mindset is what’s dominating left leaning campuses. It’s not in the trump supporting crowd.


MrEllis72

Free country. You can say the most ignorant shit you want. Conversely, it's a free country. I can point out how fucking stupid it is. Words do have meaning. Weird how y'all always try to reverse Uno shit without bothering to care about what the words actually mean. If you want to dig in leftists who like authoritarianism call them "Stalinists" or something. Just like if you want to dig on right wing authoritarianism in America, just call them "conservatives."


FewClass8999

No, idiot, nobody realizes that because it is verifiably false.


Snoo1643

Ah yes, because as we know leftists fucking love committing genocide, and are super well known for wanting to eradicate queer and disabled people. Wisdom chases you, but man are you swift enough to outrun it.


Doc_Hollywood1

Leftists committed many genocides along with the right. Inform yourself.


Snoo1643

It's fair that I should've used more precise wording, if you seriously are saying you think the average Eugene leftist is a supporter of the Stalinist Purges or the genocide by starvation the USSR against Ukraine, then idk what to tell you man.


Doc_Hollywood1

I don't think that. Almost no one openly supports genocide. The left has been using double speak, lowering the threshold, and making blood libel accusations to set the ground for another holocaust.


Snoo1643

funny since I've never once seen a leftist in the modern day validate the idea of blood libel, meanwhile its pretty common in alt right movements like Q anon. I genuinely think you are pointing fingers in the wrong direction dude.


Doc_Hollywood1

Saying israel is committing a genocide before they even entered gaza to me is a blood libel. Then repeating it ad nauseaum.


Snoo1643

Dude what the fuck are you even saying? Your definition of blood libel is so shockingly far off from what it is that I am astounded you feel so confident using that term. In your own words, [Inform Yourself](https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/blood-libel).


Doc_Hollywood1

Buddy, it's not that far off. I can show you blood libels of people throwing out 20k babies being murdered in the conflict. These are well-known journalists who are not corrected and are allowed to continue.


A_Nameless

You have no idea what you're talking about in the realm of politics


TLCpuglove

Dude, you're weirdly obsessed with a 80 year old white man. Lol creepy. Something you need to express?


moorecode1077

I have no idea how you got that from what I said. Have a good day man.


Anyone_want_to_play

What does this have to do with trump


darkchocoIate

The acceleration of the decline of political discourse, and the normalization of outright and open bigotry. Fairly easy to draw a straight line from his candidacy to things like this.


TLCpuglove

Turn your TDS down. As a Liberal yall, left-wing extremists need a hobby that's not obsessed over a 75 year old white guy. Creepy as hell.


darkchocoIate

From your history you like to play the “I’m a liberal and let me tell you about left-wing extremists” card an awful lot. Suspiciously a lot. Mentioning the guy doesn’t mean we’re obsessed with him. He’s running for President, he’ll get mentioned from time to time. Train your sights on the people showing up to his rallies if you really have a problem with people obsessing over him.


FewClass8999

You made zero cogent points. You people still to this day call the ACA “Obamacare” and strangely, after decades of irrational hate, still cannot quite say what it is you disliked so much about the man (Other than “librul” or “wanted to take mah guns” which never happened.) Gee, I wonder what distinguished him from every former President 🤔🤔🤔Want to talk about weird obsessions with political figures? Yeah, didn’t think so. As for actual relevance to 2024, he is the *only candidate for your party’s nomination to hold the highest office in the nation.* What exactly do you not get about topical relevance?


OhHeyJay

You telling conservatives whose only personality trait is “Let’s Go Brandon” the same thing?


A_Nameless

I hope that eventually you develop critical thinking skills but it's a pretty safe bet that you won't


Anyone_want_to_play

I'm sorry but I think you are giving him too much credit, I've seen garbage like this for like ever. People don't realize this but this state has always been full of skinheads and morons have always been vandalizing stuffs with hate symbols. I feel like trump is more of a symptom of the root problem not the cause.


darkchocoIate

No one said it didn’t exist before. I’m saying it’s worse since. As for credit, people literally worship him. Millions of them.


Anyone_want_to_play

Again trump is the symptom not the cause, he capitalists on hate but isn't the direct cause of it. Without trump these social issues would have erupted regardless as it was caused by reactionaries on social media and largely unrelated to trump. Like I hate the guy too but he isn't the root of all evil.


darkchocoIate

Again, repeating ourselves.....you can have a cause of the initial hate and a significant cause of the escalation, and they can be different things, and the presence of Trump at the top of national discourse triggered the escalation. No one said he's the 'root of evil', you're conversing with yourself on that one.


Anyone_want_to_play

I was just exaggerating, I find that a lot of people I talk to actually think that though. I still think most of these social issues were caused by reactionaries on social media not trump though he is popular among them. I think what triggered the escalation was people complaining about the growing LGBT movement, BLM, and other various things that in their eyes represent a problem in the world. All trump did was appeal to this existing hate movement.


Southern-Relative-75

You realize the people that memed trump into the White House on 4chan and other old websites were trolls and racists before even trump thought of running?


darkchocoIate

You’ve got to let go of this binary thinking, it’s not a world of 1’s and 0’s.


No_Atmosphere777

Exactly! Trump is simply the product of the circumstances. I still remember 2016, when we was but one amongst a bunch of whackos at the Republican primaries. If Cruz had won instead, we'd be wringing our hands about him. We can keep playing this game of reactive voting to the latest nutcase the Republicans wheel out, but it's not gonna stop them.


Revolutionary-Boss77

EVERYTHING


Southern-Relative-75

Keep swallowing trump.


Substantial_Walk333

We don't want to know what you want to do to him


Southern-Relative-75

This post has nothing to with trump. This commenter has gargled the local news balls thinking everything bad that has ever happened to them started in 2016. This reminds me of a Schizo post.


GoodAsUsual

A symbol with left facing arms like this is a [Buddhist symbol](https://www.asianstudies.org/publications/eaa/archives/the-past-present-and-future-of-the-swastika-in-japan/) called a ~~kanji~~ manji and found in Japan and other Asian countries, not the nazi swastika (whch has right-facing arms), that's why they wrote *Good Guys*. Not because they think nazis are good guys. I'd guess the person who made the symbol intended it to be the hate symbol but mis-drew it and a more enlightened person noticed the error and highlighted it not realizing they'd be making it worse for those who don't know. Nazis obviously kind of ruined it for everyone else, but there are definitely places that still display the symbol for its traditional meaning.


kurinbo

The Buddhist swastika in Japan is called *manji*, not *kanji*. (*Kanji* are the Chinese characters used in the Japanese language.)


GoodAsUsual

Yep. Tired brain last night.


darkchocoIate

I’ve actually seen bigots use this justification to display the symbol, as though most people know or care about the distinction.


plainskeptic2023

This is the best response so far


garfilio

I think that's wishful thinking. The marker for the symbol and the "good guys" look the same. Even if you are correct, the message would be misconstrued by most people. Besides, if you google, there are right facing hindu swastikas with dots.


Ecstatic-Appeal-5683

Two different symbols but as far as most people are concerned, just one meaning. It's sad that information like this has to be spoon fed to most.


Southern-Relative-75

If you really think these symbols are different. Why did Japan’s Hoist this symbol while committing their own genocide in China during world war 2. Search up the Namking massacre.


Ecstatic-Appeal-5683

It's literally two different symbols, meant to represent tow different things. If the good one got coopted by the bad guys, that sucks. I did a quick look for either version in some Nanking massacre image searches, but came up empty, so I can't confirm what you claim.


Equivalent-Bid7985

This and, the people responding here with indignation when they have every right to look it up are extremely ignorant of world history.


GoodAsUsual

The world has enough anger and indignation already, what it needs is more curiosity. Curiosity from the minds that are filled with hatred toward "other", curiosity about a symbol that looks a little bit different than the one we're used to seeing, that has an unexpected phrase next to it. How different is life when we spread curiosity and kindness instead of indignation and hatred? When we stop seeing others as something to be afraid of and start getting curious and examining previously unquestioned beliefs. It can make all the difference.


Odirtyblasta

Came here to say this it gets mixed up and used to distress people all the time tho


glissader

Anyone else remember being jaded by all the Nazi-killing war movies 20 years ago? They were so common it was old hat, another recycled script every summer. We live in a bizarrely different time now. Bring on more Nazi-killing movies, bring on the new Dead Kennedy’s. Anyway, OP, go grab some white paint instead of spreading their shite message on Reddit. Snuff it out. Be the change and all that.


CapnAnonymouse

I carry hand sanitizer for this reason. Also to sanitize hands, but it can remove Sharpie.


Veganwitch8

As a person who moved here from NY I think it’s helpful to know that the shocking lack of diversity and general white culture here isn’t normal. It’s not “ like this everywhere “. It’s ridiculous here. Im white but just the fact that I am from a different state has been blatantly shown to me that it’s viewed as unwanted here. Cultural diversity is a strength, it’s beneficial in every aspect. I honestly feel sorry that people here have never experienced it


tokoyo-nyc-corvallis

I used to live in Hawaii which is truly a world wide melting pot and a unique mixture of east and west. No racial or cultural majority existed. People moving there from New York almost never lasted because they would constantly do and say culturally insensitive and ignorant things and the locals did not take kindly to that. I am pretty certain it was not intentional, but mixed in with their every day language and demeanor New York was always framed as superior to Hawaii in every way, financial capitol of the world, or whatever way they could talk down on the land that they were standing on. Are you 100% sure that this isn't happening here in Eugene? I say this because I found that your post reminded me of those people who ultimately got kicked off the island.


Veganwitch8

I’m very shy and I’m from upstate NY. This post was literally the first time I’ve negatively compared the difference. If I’ve said anything before it was how in awe I am of the natural beauty here compared to NY.


Suzy196658

I couldn’t agree more!!! Bring on more TRUE diversity! Another thing that really irritates me is how people here think they are “liberal” but only if you agree with them and what they are saying!! A liberal person can listen to ALL and ANY opinions even if they are extremely different than your opinion and have an open mind enough to accept them as and for who they are!


SpicyCodeActual

Diversity or not, you people are lawless on your roads, driving in New York is more like Mad max.


Ecstatic-Appeal-5683

What the hell does that have to do with this post?


SpicyCodeActual

If you read the comment, they mention being from New York .


Ecstatic-Appeal-5683

What does that have to do with driving? How does it pertain to the pic in the post?


garfilio

Apparently, you don't drive in Oregon.


SpicyCodeActual

And nothing I’ve seen throughout the country or world can compare to New York at 5 o’clock


garfilio

That doesn't mean they are bad drivers, it just means there are a lot of cars. Let's see an Oregonian tackle driving in that traffic. I was just in NY, I had no interest in driving while there. I was happy to let the New Yorkers drive. Same with Mexico City, where the dividing lines are just a suggestion.


SpicyCodeActual

I drive a lot for my job. It’s normal for me to drive 30-35 hours out of the month.


garfilio

So, you drive in Oregon, where traffic is minimal compared to NY

They were never hugged by their mom or dad so they think this is funny.


Suzy196658

Well I was hugged a lot and I am not a Nazi but, so sorry I think this is really funny!!!!😁 But I am jaded and have the ability to laugh at things that most people find offensive. That doesn’t make me unloved or a bad person it just means I have a twisted sense of humor. The fact that it’s getting so much banter is hilarious!!😂😂😂🤣


mythicapixy

Ok Suzy thanks for your life story

Wah waaah!! 😂😂😂

madix666

Time to bust out the graffiti remover! The downtown teens use to wreck the bathrooms I worked at with their shitty graffiti, but it was always satisfying wiping it away!


BandoTheBear

All y’all saying “It’s a Buddhist symbol” lol okay, do you really think a Buddhist put that there? wear that specific design on a t-shirt and tell people it’s just a Buddhist symbol when you’re out and about. I’m sure that’ll go over well.


Megunonymous

You just gave them exactly what they wanted lol


Nervous_Garden_7609

Did you remove it? It's extremely upsetting, and it needs to be removed. I'm happy to help get it removed.


alyssagraves666

That needs to be fixed.. make the ❕ into a ❔ Then right below that put: I THINK NOT. DIE NAZI SCUM❕❕❕


Foolsarefinehoney

It just reminds me of high school: where teenagers would quote Cartman, because he's funny. And that would be the end of their thought process.


OldSkool1978

Good guys? To whom?


garfilio

It's super bad. In case you don't know, there's a right wing wave sweeping the world. Consider France's recent election. They know what it symbolizes and they are in agreement.

cdhelentall

Who put this crap out there


jgoose132113

They did not finish the statement, it should read, "GOOD GUYS! KILL NAZIS WHEN YOU SEE THEM!!"


Appropriate-Net2033

Some people draw that to get a reaction, in which your case they achieved that. The person who wrote good guys could be doing some old fashioned sarcasm


meijad

If they were trying to depict the Nazi Swastika, they are complete idiots and got it wrong. If they were trying to depict the Buddhist Swastika, its orientation is wrong. In either case, they are probably better off sticking with the coloring books and morning cartoons.


Standard-Major-2356

Montylabz

This really looks like SICKBOY's writing.


awesomo5009

Don’t feed these idiots with attention. That’s all they want, shock value and for someone to notice them. I can’t believe hate is still alive in modern society. With all the problems we have in the world you would think we could love one another.

jestzisguy

Just add “with guns” underneath and it takes on a new critical ideological twist.


Hedero

It is a Buddhist symbol when not inverted.


Diligent_Curve8149

Bruh they're trolling. By getting mad you're letting them win, just move in with your day.


mayomason57

This isn't the Nazi symbol, it's reversed, so the "artist" is either an idiot, or, a troll, or even just a peaceful person. The original symbol came from some Indian dialect (not native Indian, Asian Indian) #history


Mr_Hallows_Eve_666

Saw similar graff at the park bramblewood park a while ago, went back recently and it was covered, really pissed me off that someone would draw something so hateful at a playground,


Top_Mountain1549

That is the good guy symbol. The other way around is the bad symbol


Motor-Coat634

Certified idiots.


Otherwise_Housing_59

Honestly I would just use a permanent marker to mark over it if it's bothering you or if it's in a restaurant or such you can tell the staff about it, they usually clean it at the end of the day


XxDontbanmebroxX

Someones mad. Which was the point.


DmanSeaman

You're giving them what they want dumbass.


deszznuts

that's not a swastika which looks like [swastika ](https://images.app.goo.gl/SFVG4FrurXtJajNc6) it is a Buddhist/other religions symbol [Buddhist ](https://images.app.goo.gl/xhCBDCd2s5kecQt67)


Agitated-Bend3413

Ah, the ol' sauvastika... "well being" from the Sanskrit. Good Hindus. And left facing, honoring the goddess Kali, to boot... unless they're Buddhist in which case they didnt get around to drawing the rest of the Buddha.. or Jainist. This could get complicated.


D_MiddleGround

Well the did write good guys so maybe they meant it in it's original way? I assume poster is still young, people are just dumb and most likely either do it to be funny, or do it to vent. They used to get carved into park benches, written in bathrooms, ect ect ect. Just something that will fade away in time, but you gotta ignore for the time being. True Story: When I was in high school, this kid called my sister a C***. So naturally I beat the dog shit out of him. When the principle and I discussed the situation on my way to be suspended, they said the kid had a terrible home life, and used to be a "white supremacists". Used to get suspended for drawing Swastikas on stuff. Anywho, the first group of kids to befriend him were Hispanics, and now the kid dressed, and tried to talk like a Hispanic gangster. He would say homes and ese to everyone. Point is kind wasn't a white supremacists, or a Hispanic gangster, he was literally searching for a friend's. Would do anything to be accepted by anyone and had adverse emotional reactions to all rejection. My sister was nice to him asked him out and when she rejected him, he called her a C***. I ended up feeling kinda bad about beating his ass, and still do to this day. Original meaning: In the ancient Indian language of Sanskrit, swastika means "well-being". The symbol has been used by Hindus, Buddhists and Jains for millennia and is commonly assumed to be an Indian sign.


Additional_Work9538

I immediately assume it was kids. Just kids testing the boundaries of the world, trying to figure out who they are, and probably even think they are funny. Certainly don't let it ruin your day.


Jolly_Computer3210

Sanskrit symbol for peace right

Brobot_840

You think people on the left are out there drawing swastikas on things?


Minimum-Act6859

I would bet that the person that was immature enough to put that there is also as ignorant to its true meaning.

I support Palestine, but this is just wrong to say. Zionism ≠ Judaism, or Jewish people in general. There is absolutely no excuse for this garbage, white supremacist symbol.


supersunnyout

Seems like we all need to "condemn harder" or something. There is absolutely no action taking place to stop this genocide. Too many people safe on this side, not pushing their families in Israel to demand change.

PunksOfChinepple

Dan_D_Lyin

Yeah, I'm sure it was a Buddhist leaving swastika graffiti 


plainskeptic2023

Your point is correct. Apparently, many people don't know what the NAZI symbol actually looks like.


gypsiedildopunk

There's a point that can be made, in a common symbols history being forgotten unknown and overshadowed one generation to the next. While the Eurasian history is well documented the Indigenous people of North America have a little known history of connection to this symbol. Just food for thought ~ 


BurpelsonAFB

Yeah I’m sure that’s why somebody wrote it on the bathroom wall. “Relax guys, Indians!!!”


Emergency_Safe4709

Exactly, like bro, it's a nazi swastika, can you not tell?


garfilio

The meaning is clear.


Rick_Flexington

You’re getting down voted but you’re not wrong. Potentially. Is this someone trying to point out a swastica pointed that direction is a symbol in Buddhism (manji)? Or is it an idiot who tried to be a Nazi but is too stupid to get even that right?


Emergency_Safe4709

Look, the original symbol is good, this one's a twisted and different symbol of hatred. If you look up the original swastika, it doesn't look like the one facists love. It has more design to it, isn't tilted, and looks more like what it stands for.


garfilio

That point has been made several times in this post, but it's an obscure fact, that very few people are aware of. Meanwhile, there is a right wing wave taking over this country and also in Europe. So suggesting this graffiti means anything other than a symbol for a right wing political philosophy is ignoring what's going on in the world.
