NS clearly signifies “national socialism” , i.e. what Hitler’s party called their ideology. Don’t evne worry about the lightning shaped rune in the center.
Assumed it stood for Norfolk-Southern. That’s a domestic terrorism firm responsible for the horrifying Palestine bombing.
Neve heard of them until now. But wouldn’t be surprised if they chose their name based on the initials.
Why in this faux-old german script though?
Showing their true colors.
The gothic letters are also a dead giveaway.
The NS of course stands for Nice Succulents!
told ya…

there’s actually a Wikipedia article about it here
It’s a LARP until it isn’t, and we’re really approaching the point where it isn’t.
Intimidation factor. In addition to militarization of police.
Why are they wearing camo in a fucking city?
Army surplus
Here’s the thing they are law enforcement in name only…
I think it’s more likely that dude saw it and went “oh man that’s fuckin siiiiiiccccccckkkkkk” probably has skull stickers on his truck too
I want to note that this is exactly what that actual Nazis did when they stole symbolisms from various cultures including the rune ᛋ and of course the swastica. Both of which represent the sun.
Related from my own defunct blog: Skulls in military symbolism are actually not particularly odd, as indicators of toughness and ferocity (and in Navy a nod to the Jolly Roger, which was partly an identifier of the pirate vessel, but also a call to surrender with the promise of quarter…)
Discussing the M&W Are We The Baddies skit and the preponderance of skulls in Waffen SS kitch.
There’s also a symbol they called the black Sun, they were into it for sure
Will be unsurprising if they’re accepting full-on MAGA and Kluxer fanatics.
The SS fucks had a flat top and bottom, this one appears pointed. Anyway, close enough and most their ranks are filled with neo-Nazi turds.
I’m starting to wonder if these “ICE” people aren’t just kids who outgrew video games like Call of Duty, but didn’t care to join the army.
or couldn’t pass basic
Gravy Seals.
Nah they didn’t outgrow gaming, they just got tired of being torched by 8 year olds on chat, or picking a genre that was not online gaming. Those 8 year olds should go into comedy, provided they remember to punch up.
Definitely, want to carry a gun but others not so much.
Recruited from the Young Republican cesspool.
Seeing SS symbols in everything related to lightning sign is a guaranteed way to have 0 people take you seriously.
We know already that ICE agents are bad, no need to bring in conspiracies.
𝕹ᛋ𝕾
that’s just a normal lightning sign, nothing to see here, move along, the 𝕹𝕾 stands for 𝕹ational 𝕾overeignty of course, a very normal, run-of-the-mill thing to print on your camo helmet while abducting immigrants, please do not be alarmed.
what else could the lightning bolt mean? The lightning bolt has been a neo-nazi symbol for decades.
You dont have to look back very far to determine how this started on a low level, this is just aggresive inaappropriate counter-culture , 4chan internet troll, basement dwelling shitheel behaivor from the 90s and 00s but carried over into adult life
Contrarians will always be contrary, so I guess being contrary to a boring “regime” that didnt particularly say or do anything except for ask for generic human rights for everyone, means cosplaying as the most offensive thing you can think of because it makes them mad, Cosplaying as Nazis and even doing the same thing the Nazis did with randomly and incorrectly co-opting norse iconography.
They aren’t Nazis just for contrarianisms sake, a large portion of the right wing in the US is inspired by and wants to emulate the Nazis and agree with their racist worldview. A lot of the people trolling and posting ironic racist stuff were just being edgy at some point, but many of them do agree with the things and just troll/joke as a cover.
It means No Sack.
ICE are all the raging assholes that constantly demanded violent responses to everything a minority or liberal did, or suggested nuking every foreign country for whatever perceived infraction, while safely behind a screen and keyboard. They refused to sign up for the military that would impose rules, expectations, and restrictions on them. Also, people shoot back at you if you get deployed. Can’t have that. Too scary. So they join ICE and get to beat up on those foreign people and piss off the libs while under State Protection, nobody gets to shoot back. They’re protected from consequences. Cowards and bullies.
You should see the Secretary of War’s tattoos.
Only ever seen shitty pictures of his sleeves. I’m genuinely curious, what kind of stuff does he have?
