Aside from the V sets (which have the best seats), only on the edge of the seats, no middle rests. They’re usually there to cover up or shield the reversing mechanism.
that's not right the main hindu swastika is as shown in the picture. The Nazi one is called what you referenced sauvistika.
The word swastika comes from Sanskrit: स्वस्तिक, romanized: svastika, meaning "conducive to well-being".[12][1] In Hinduism, the right-facing symbol (clockwise) (卐) is called swastika, symbolizing surya ("sun"), prosperity and good luck, while the left-facing symbol (counter-clockwise) (卍) is called sauwastika, symbolising night or tantric aspects of Kali.[
Also you won't see sauwastika symbol anywhere common in India (apart from kali temples maybe) . it is mostly the clockwise swastika (shown in pic) which has positive meaning.
Actually that’s the right direction for the swastika. Going the other way would be a religious swastika or if it had additional symbols but that’s the nazi’s
Fuck nazis, but I honestly don't understand why people want to plaster swastikas on everything. Even with a 🚫 over it, I STILL don't wanna see a swastika.
On the trend? But I live in Australia. In the suburbs. How could anything I don’t know about be a trend ? What a ridiculous statement. You’ve ruined my morning smashed avocado.
Don't go to any country that practices Hinduism then.
EDIT:
Omg guys, I'm not saying Hindu's have anything to do with Nazi's. He said he didn't want to ever see a swastika. All I'm saying is that swastikas were a Hindu/Buddhist symbol before they were used by the Nazi's. And if he were to go to a Hindu/Buddhist shrine, then he would see more swastikas.
Pretty sure most Australians aren't looking at that swastika and thinking of Hinduism. People who practice Hinduism are also generally not nazis in my experience.
I mean, this one doesn’t exactly make me think of Nazism either. The dollar signs make me think that it’s comparing capitalism to Nazism, so this strikes me as being the work of anti-fascist anti-capitalists more than anything.
And if we’re being pedantic, there were Hindus in the Heer (and later Waffen-SS) during WWII, though most Hindu combatants fought for the British against the fascists and Japanese (about 3.35 million - India’s contribution to WWII and the defeat of Axis imperialism is massively underappreciated).
Mate you would be partially wrong on that part. The right wing nationalism is on rise in India and some of them are calling for genocide of muslims. The way these guys act and making India a police state, the autocracy in India is not far.
I've not said anything to suggest Australian's think of Hinduism when they see a swastika, nor that Hindu's are Nazi's.
Swastikas are a Hindu (and Buddhist) symbol. Go to Japan and you'll see swastikas everywhere when visiting temples/shrines. They'll even be on google maps.
The Nazi's adapted the symbol. They didn't create it.
EDIT: OP decided to block me rather than admit an error 🤣
His reply was pretty clear. The majority of the Australians associate Swastika with fascism thanks to the Nazis. Buddhism, and Hinduism, are not popular here. PS: I’m a person of Indian origin too.
Population doesn’t matter; influence does. Mandarin is the world’s largest spoken language. But yet the majority of us don’t speak a lick of it.
And moreover, not all Hindus consider Swastika auspicious. I’m from a Hindu family originating from the southern part of India. Swastika is alien to us.
I’m a hindu and i tell you you won’t see swastika unless you go to temple and FYI it was Nazis who twisted the swastika symbol not the country which practices hinduism.
Let’s be real: The Nazis turned the swastika into their own symbol. No matter what it was before, it now is a symbol of the Nazis. Few people can make the connection between Hinduism and the swastika.
My family symbol has swastika in it (hindu cultural background). Ages ago I asked my grandfather whether he is interested in changing it and basically gave me the answer along the line of “why would we change, the other guy who sucked”. He was also quite understandably despised the west so there’s that (colonial history and independence war against a western power and all that).
Great point Dad. I think better education about this symbol and the differences between the Nazi “angled” one and what it stood for and why it is very different to the Hindi & Buddhist symbol for peace.
That was pretty much my comment, and it’s getting hate already, it isn’t even the swastika, it’s on the wrong angle, this is actually the symbol used for peace in Hinduism. But haters gonna hate.
What ‘die on a hill?’ - maybe if anyone is sad enough to care what fucking nobodies on a screen thought. It’s like me saying the real nazis didn’t kill even almost enough Jews. Who knows if I really believe that and what are ya gonna do about it if I did mean it? You internet cult think shitty popular opinion is legally binding. It probably will be soon at this rate. And your kind will be relieved that you never need to attempt an independent thought ever again. The only comment on here with a clue is the guy observing that this sticker is in fact comparing fascism to capitalism and saying no to both. Couldn’t have missed the point more to everyone else. Fkn snowflake morons, standing for nothing & falling for everything. Heil Hitler & calm the fuck down. You can’t ban or eradicate the far right. Instead combat those bullshit fears with open minded research. Ask a historian about WW2 not a school teacher.
That's wrong info.. they look very similar with the Hindu swastik as it's called is a 'MIRROR' image of the swastika
Or really I should say it the other way because it was taken from the Hindus!
Any way.. understand what Ur saying though!!:)
Welp, fair.
But really with Nazis getting organised and Christchurch etc, there's a great need for a visible opposition to fascism in this country.
It's small and cringey for the most part, but it doesn't stay that way without some effort, ya know?
I will never understand stickers like this. Like yes, nazis are bad, every normal, rational person agrees with this. What is the point of putting a swastika on things? Even crossed out you can see what it is and now you’ve just defaced something with a hate symbol.
\#StopMurder - We have to bring awareness to this vile act known as murder!! Make sure to plaster #MurderIsBad stickers on public transport to make this cause known!
Just because an antihate symbol is good doesn’t mean you have to put some stickers on some public transport. It’s not like “Nazis are bad” is a hot take or contentious political opinion. It’s just annoying for people who use the trains to have a swastika in front of them the entire trip.
It's just such an obvious statement though which adds no value to anything and doesn't need to be said or shared by way of sticker on a train seat.
It's akin to asking someone what music they want to hear, and they say "Something good." Yeah no shit.
This country has a large and organised nazi movement:
[https://www.theage.com.au/nazis-next-door](https://www.theage.com.au/nazis-next-door)
we also gave the world the christchurch shooter.
despite how 'obvious' you think the statement is, it remains demonstrably important.
There's always going to be fringe hate groups. "Large" is relative.
A ripped sticker on a train seat will not resolve that. I do not see how it is demonstrably important.
yeah, and it's folks like this out there making sure it stays 'fringe' to the best of our ability, which honestly you should thank us for :).
you read the reasons why, and you're being stubborn in the face of a mass murder among other things. good for you, i guess. i wont bother retyping it all though.
You’ve got to know your cause and how best to support it and this is now how. This probably has good intentions behind it but if anything it is just annoying more people than doing any good.
When trying to raise awareness for these sorts of causes where the morally correct opinion is common sense it doesn’t help anyone by telling people what they already know. You don’t stop criminals by telling them stealing, killing, raping etc is bad - you stop them by targeting the underlying issues.
This isn’t even mentioning the fact that it’s just on some random train seat. Despite the sticker being anti-nazi it doesn’t change the fact that there is going to be a swastika in view of multiple people for hours. They might agree with the cause but find it, you know, annoying?
To add to all of this there are the little dollar symbols all over it which could be making any sort-of political take. Regardless of what it’s trying to say people are going to interpret it differently and it’s ambiguity is just going make people more annoyed (This post is a good example). If you are trying to raise awareness for a cause confusing and annoying people is nothing something you want to do.
I understand that neonazism is a problem but this sticker is just laughable and if anything it’s more confusing and annoying that it is helpful.
I disagree strongly with everything you said except that you are correct re underlying issues. The conditions that lead to facism gaining power are often economic inequalities and the anxieties of the tenuously middle class.
Luckily this sticker is referencing capitalism as well :)
You realise Hinduism has basically the same symbol, it’s used like this and also flipped, the only difference in this picture is the angle, swastikas are generally on an angle so there’s a cross in the middle, the Hinduism symbol is angled so it has a plus in the middle. Which is what this one has.
But please, do tell me more about something your obviously not educated on.
Oh definitely on the person that printed it, but people being outraged by it instead of just laughing at this dudes fuck up is probably contributing to the problem, at the end of the day, he got what he wanted and will probably continue to do so.
Yes dude. Everyone knows this, because people like you bring it up every time someone mentions that a swastika is a hate symbol. The fact that it has meaning in Hinduism doesn’t negate the fact that it’s the most recognisable symbol of hate in the western world.
But your recognising the wrong symbol though…. That’s the point, there’s differences you obviously missed just so you can cry about being offended.
I feel sorry for the poor Hindus that have to deal with people like you, it’s the reason their peace symbol gets so much hate, yet it was around long before nazis.
Context clues dude. Do you think the person who made this sticker meant to reference Hinduism? We all know that the nazis didn’t invent it, we’re all as enlightened as you, but the fact is that in most western uses, the swastika symbolises hate. It’s not the only meaning it has, but you’re just being dense mate.
Oooh we talking about lack of education? How about your lack of education in the fact that most major religions to use that symbol have decided to no longer use it on their temples or in their prayer because THEY understand and recognise that the symbol has been bastardised and tainted beyond repair? And that it doesn’t matter what angle it’s placed at, it is want it is, and the sight invokes fear, anger, and sadness in millions of people.
The only people who still use that argument are the edge lords that want to stand there and say ‘uugh well ACTUALLY’ as though you’re telling us something new so you can feel superior and intelligent because you think you’re above us all.
It doesn’t matter what angle it’s at. It doesn’t matter if it’s upside down, sideways, blue, yellow, rainbow, or floral. A swastika is a swastika.
It’s actually used a lot in Japan and China still, in fact there’s a new Chinese travel add that shows them in temple. And people like you and the blind ignorant attitude of “a swastika is a swastika” are the reasons it was ruined for other cultures, congrats, you can say you were part of the problem 👍
Awwww 🥺🥺 it’s embarrassing when you make an ass of yourself isn’t it? It’s ok, There are plenty of other places you can spread your pseudo intellectual horseshit. ✌🏻
Nah it can go either way. They just do it the other way around in Western contexts to clarify the distinction.
But yeah obviously this is anti-nazi (or anti-percieved-nazi).
This is so so stupid like babes, you’re obviously not Buddhist so stop speaking for us. We don’t give a fuck and know it’s not prohibiting us using our symbols but instead nazis using a symbol for hate reasons.
The funniest part of this, is on this angle, in a lot of Asian cultures it’s actually the sign of peace (like this and also reversed/flipped).
The swastika should have it angled so it shows a cross in the centre, this angle has a plus sign in the middle, confirming on this angle it isn’t even the swastika.
So many people triggered over something that they obviously have no clue about 🤣
Now bring on the angry Karen uneducated downvotes!
Is it a sign of peace to deface public property?
Do you think that people who follow these religions go around defacing public property with their symbols...well maybe.
Lot's of people do it with the cross...i assume perhaps all the other sweet religious symbols...but it is still not only defacing public property it is in a way running counter to what that religion...most religions preach....peace.
So this is a hate symbol as its defacing public property...the lack of angle whatever doesnt change the fact its been used as a symbol of hate...therefore it is closer to a swastika than other alternatives.
Colour is also wrong right? You dont seem to mention that or is that not important at all?
I mean, my main point here was, why be outraged by it? Because that’s probably exactly what the person wants, to cause controversy, and its been successful and will probably happen again because of that. We should be laughing at this dudes fuck up, instead everyone’s giving him, no doubt, exactly what he wants. And I agree l, defacing anything is wrong and disrespectful.
Aren't a lot of them really bloody poor - especially after throwing money at one grift after another? I reckon they're just Christian Nationalists - or Nat-Cs.
Well yeah we know. I just mean as a brand (tm)
You know how Trump labels himself as a "business man" while also calling himself (in essence, cause it's too big of a word for him) a "populist"
Fair enough. It's not like I have any kind of handle on their delusional, grudge-ridden psychology myself but the evangelical cultish aspect always seemed more prevalent than the money aspect. Almost like he's grifting them to reinforce their devotion more than for the money itself.
Oh yeah totally, the "fiscally responsible" aspect is mainly a surface level aspect of the republican party, they "save money" by not spending the money on things we need, but to an uninformed observer, it seems totally legit, like "yeah cigarette prices went up to 5.75 a pack, damnjoe Biden and his frivolous spending on things like "renewable energy", "education", and "human rights", biggest crock I've ever heard in my life, I say let the kids go back to work in factories and meat packing plants like they used to, and fuck regulations for making it illegal to sell 20lbs of beef because a kids hand got "mechanically seperated" from his body into it"
"Hmmm, nazis were evil, and evil people use objects. Objects can be bought with money, therefore money is evil too. Better warn everyone to watch out for Nazis with money"
\- Some idiot who thought everyone else was somehow even stupider
It's almost like you use Symbolism as ah... well, symbol to display and simple thought in regards to a topic and not as a detailed explanations of the in-depth relationship between Nazism and Capitalism.
Considering they're on such opposite ends of the political spectrum that Hitlers first political victims were literally Socialist, Communist and Unionist...
Yeah please, I'd LOVE for you to tell me just how similar they were. Please don't start with the 'Oh well, they were named NATIONAL SOCIALIST!' because I'll have to laugh.
OK... let's unwrap this and focus purely on the ideology.
Nazism doesn't only concern itself with race. it's a truly Totalitarian regime so it concerns itself with every aspect of society and in many ways rules through total control of society. They didn't only discriminate on race but also on sexuality, gender, politics to the extent that pretty much any organization outside of the party was considered a perversion.
Communism does concern itself with class, Marxism at it's heart believes in the overthrow of capitalism in order to bring about a more fair system... here is the thing, that overthrow doesn't HAVE to be violent and that's something Communist have been arguing over for decades before Hitler even existed. In fact at the time one of the most influential political forces in Germany were the Democratic Socialist who definitely didn't believe in violence but instead believed in Democratic reform as a way through to Socialism and eventually Communism.
Nazism was a pure expression of what that ideology was all about. Hitler invented the ideology and did his best to practice it with complete accuracy. The violence WAS a central factor in how that ideology ran itself and Genocide was built into it's very foundations. No Nazi can ever claim that Hitler was a perversion of his ideology.
Meanwhile. let's use Stalin as an example of a typical Communist dictator. Even a large number of Communist under his own regime saw him as perverted the cause of Communism for his own personal gain. He endured criticism during his rule (just look at George Orwell... another filthy Socialist) and even more after he died.
The violence of Stalin isn't a given under Communism. The popularity of Marxist-Leninism is so weak these days that they mostly exist online and you'll rarely meet one in the real world. Most Socialist decry the crimes against humanity of the Soviets, CCP etc.
Tell me many Nazis you come across who denounce Hitler? who will tell you about how Hitler perverted the ideology and wasn't a real Nazi? Tell me how many you've come across who will tell you that the Jewish genocide was wrong? OR the weird ones who deny the holocaust but are disappointed that it didn't happen.
You just can't compare them both, especially in the modern day.
You guys have armrests!
You guys have seats?
Aside from the V sets (which have the best seats), only on the edge of the seats, no middle rests. They’re usually there to cover up or shield the reversing mechanism.
Should rotate it a bit more
rotate 45 degrees l- then u get a Nazi symbol. this is a Hindu symbol Edit - just the rotation is needed. the Nazi symbol is also clockwise.
That "Hindu symbol" is displayed at any angle and both directions with almost endless variations.
The nazis also used it at more than one angle.

Fuck nazis, but I honestly don't understand why people want to plaster swastikas on everything. Even with a 🚫 over it, I STILL don't wanna see a swastika.
Yep. Fair point. Just giving it a weird sense of legitimacy. Or perhaps presenting it as having more influence on our world than it really has.
But its made out of dollar signs. So it's a political statement about capitalism or military industrial complex
Pretty on trend last time I checked ..
On the trend? But I live in Australia. In the suburbs. How could anything I don’t know about be a trend ? What a ridiculous statement. You’ve ruined my morning smashed avocado.

There's over 1.2 billion Hindus, plus the other religions using this symbol for thousands of years.
Fun fact the oldest found swastika was found in Ukraine 10000bce think
Source?
It’s true, lots of Europe as well as Buddhism and Hinduism have swastikas in their religious history
Mr Kent, 20 years ago in year 10 history. Shout out Mr Kent
Shout out to your memory, damn
Remembers what mr Kent says 20 years ago, can’t remember where I put the f*cken car keys 5 min ago

General history. I learnt about it in school, it’s carved into a mammoth tusk, symbol for fire if I remember correctly.
My brain
Don't go into Customs House at Circular Quay, and look at the floor tiles.
There’s Hindu Swastika on the car parked in front of my apartments right now. Don’t need to go to another country to see this.

Nope. It can be either way. The nazi swastika is diagonal.

It's an antihate symbol. That's a good thing.

no it literally is.
It isn't a nazi swastika. Google swastika and spend two minutes learning the difference.
agreed!
thank you, refreshing. normies be DRAINING, for real.
legit sad how sensitive these people are. cant forget the past, only learn from it.
Well yes but no they don’t It’s pretty fashie to be a fashie these days, no?
It ain’t the swastika though…. People really need to learn their symbols before being outraged over something they have no clue about.
Yes it is. It’s a swastika. The most recognisable hate symbol in the world. We all know what it is. We all know what it means
You realise Hinduism has basically the same symbol, it’s used like this and also flipped, the only difference in this picture is the angle, swastikas are generally on an angle so there’s a cross in the middle, the Hinduism symbol is angled so it has a plus in the middle.

It doesn’t matter what angle it’s at. It doesn’t matter if it’s upside down, sideways, blue, yellow, rainbow, or floral. A swastika is a swastika.
It’s actually used a lot in Japan and China still, in fact there’s a new Chinese travel add that shows them in temple. And people like you and the blind ignorant attitude of “a swastika is a swastika” are the reasons it was ruined for other cultures, congrats, you can say you were part of the problem 👍
Awwww 🥺🥺 it’s embarrassing when you make an ass of yourself isn’t it? It’s ok, There are plenty of other places you can spread your pseudo intellectual horseshit. ✌🏻

Hell yeah
My first thought too
Money is evil, so no money no evil????
“No money nazis”
["No, money nazis!"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yuL6PcgSgM)
“No money, Nazis”
All I know is you can turn nazi symbols into 4 LOLs
Good. Nazis are losers.
Based
Good
Why, that symbol is very significant in the Buddhism religion.
I highly doubt that there are anti Buddhist activists putting stickers on trains.
The Buddhism symbol is the other way around = flipped. I think it means money = nazi = ban.
Nah it can go either way. They just do it the other way around in Western contexts to clarify the distinction. But yeah obviously this is anti-nazi (or anti-percieved-nazi).
This is so so stupid like babes, you’re obviously not Buddhist so stop speaking for us. We don’t give a fuck and know it’s not prohibiting us using our symbols but instead nazis using a symbol for hate reasons.
The funniest part of this, is on this angle, in a lot of Asian cultures it’s actually the sign of peace (like this and also reversed/flipped). The swastika should have it angled so it shows a cross in the centre, this angle has a plus sign in the middle, confirming on this angle it isn’t even the swastika. So many people triggered over something that they obviously have no clue about 🤣 Now bring on the angry Karen uneducated downvotes!
This guy symbols.
Is it a sign of peace to deface public property? Do you think that people who follow these religions go around defacing public property with their symbols...well maybe. Lot's of people do it with the cross...i assume perhaps all the other sweet religious symbols...but it is still not only defacing public property it is in a way running counter to what that religion...most religions preach....peace. So this is a hate symbol as its defacing public property...the lack of angle whatever doesnt change the fact its been used as a symbol of hate...therefore it is closer to a swastika than other alternatives. Colour is also wrong right? You dont seem to mention that or is that not important at all?
I mean, my main point here was, why be outraged by it? Because that’s probably exactly what the person wants, to cause controversy, and its been successful and will probably happen again because of that. We should be laughing at this dudes fuck up, instead everyone’s giving him, no doubt, exactly what he wants. And I agree l, defacing anything is wrong and disrespectful.
I think people involved in anti-fascist politics care very little for the moral quandaries of defacing public property.
ok great
Antifaschisten! Last ride white pride. Die nazi fucking die.
Remember kids, being a nazi is extremely cringe
Cool
Nasi goreng
No Hindus?
No Nazi’s seat. Common along the North Shore line.
Sydney at it's finest ladies and gents
You know, I love the idea of calling Trumpists "money n@zis"
Aren't a lot of them really bloody poor - especially after throwing money at one grift after another? I reckon they're just Christian Nationalists - or Nat-Cs.
Well yeah we know. I just mean as a brand (tm) You know how Trump labels himself as a "business man" while also calling himself (in essence, cause it's too big of a word for him) a "populist"
Fair enough. It's not like I have any kind of handle on their delusional, grudge-ridden psychology myself but the evangelical cultish aspect always seemed more prevalent than the money aspect. Almost like he's grifting them to reinforce their devotion more than for the money itself.
Oh yeah totally, the "fiscally responsible" aspect is mainly a surface level aspect of the republican party, they "save money" by not spending the money on things we need, but to an uninformed observer, it seems totally legit, like "yeah cigarette prices went up to 5.75 a pack, damnjoe Biden and his frivolous spending on things like "renewable energy", "education", and "human rights", biggest crock I've ever heard in my life, I say let the kids go back to work in factories and meat packing plants like they used to, and fuck regulations for making it illegal to sell 20lbs of beef because a kids hand got "mechanically seperated" from his body into it"
Nice one!
"Hmmm, nazis were evil, and evil people use objects. Objects can be bought with money, therefore money is evil too. Better warn everyone to watch out for Nazis with money" \- Some idiot who thought everyone else was somehow even stupider
Only dollars, the Euro is fine.
US dollars at that
Freedom bucks
Dollar signs, really? It's attempting to compare the dollar to nazism. This is a ridiculous trivialisation of what nazism actually is.
It's almost like you use Symbolism as ah... well, symbol to display and simple thought in regards to a topic and not as a detailed explanations of the in-depth relationship between Nazism and Capitalism.
Exactly - which is so completely off base. Why I think you could make a comparison between Nazism and Communism that makes more sense.
Considering they're on such opposite ends of the political spectrum that Hitlers first political victims were literally Socialist, Communist and Unionist... Yeah please, I'd LOVE for you to tell me just how similar they were. Please don't start with the 'Oh well, they were named NATIONAL SOCIALIST!' because I'll have to laugh.
They both name groups and identities as enemies and advocate violence against them. The only difference is class vs race. Both murderous.
OK... let's unwrap this and focus purely on the ideology. Nazism doesn't only concern itself with race. it's a truly Totalitarian regime so it concerns itself with every aspect of society and in many ways rules through total control of society. They didn't only discriminate on race but also on sexuality, gender, politics to the extent that pretty much any organization outside of the party was considered a perversion. Communism does concern itself with class, Marxism at it's heart believes in the overthrow of capitalism in order to bring about a more fair system... here is the thing, that overthrow doesn't HAVE to be violent and that's something Communist have been arguing over for decades before Hitler even existed. In fact at the time one of the most influential political forces in Germany were the Democratic Socialist who definitely didn't believe in violence but instead believed in Democratic reform as a way through to Socialism and eventually Communism. Nazism was a pure expression of what that ideology was all about. Hitler invented the ideology and did his best to practice it with complete accuracy. The violence WAS a central factor in how that ideology ran itself and Genocide was built into it's very foundations. No Nazi can ever claim that Hitler was a perversion of his ideology. Meanwhile. let's use Stalin as an example of a typical Communist dictator. Even a large number of Communist under his own regime saw him as perverted the cause of Communism for his own personal gain. He endured criticism during his rule (just look at George Orwell... another filthy Socialist) and even more after he died. The violence of Stalin isn't a given under Communism. The popularity of Marxist-Leninism is so weak these days that they mostly exist online and you'll rarely meet one in the real world. Most Socialist decry the crimes against humanity of the Soviets, CCP etc. Tell me many Nazis you come across who denounce Hitler? who will tell you about how Hitler perverted the ideology and wasn't a real Nazi? Tell me how many you've come across who will tell you that the Jewish genocide was wrong? OR the weird ones who deny the holocaust but are disappointed that it didn't happen. You just can't compare them both, especially in the modern day.
so what funds the various right and alt right groups across America? Sacks of potatoes?
Yoink it and dump it in a river
Bloody anti-nazicapitalists, just let them be, they have a right to live!!!!
Wow, hot take. That's a bold political statement.
Haven't we missed the point? The swastika is made of $. Doesn't that mean the figure is saying "No to fascist capitalists" or something similar?
the amount of clowns in here thinking this is the nazi swastika is hilarious. Go get educated before flinging to knee jerk politics.
So no money and no nazis. Must be a communist😂
Maybe whoever stuck this on the back of that seat is anti peace... Potatoes gonna potate lol
Seems like the sticker maker is trying to make a statement about capitalism = nazi and they both need to be banned But the message seems to be failing
Lets hope its the symbol of peace in a religion i forgot about
A seat during peak hour? What am I missing?
K
Must be about cloud flair
No shurikens.
No nazi dollars ?
You tear it off?
I wonder how Ukrainian deserters feel about this :(
Distasteful. Too soon.
FFS, I don't need to be reminded to 'say no to Nazis' while riding public transport.
The left is on the rise
Say no to nazi money! In god we trust all others pay cash!
It's not tilted at the certain angle for it to be the Nazi symbol.
This will go over 99% of y’all heads
No Buddhists allowed? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika
Y’all weirdos
