Good.
Sick of literal nazis being allowed to spread their hate in my city.
Fuck off and go live in your cooker huts and leave respectable society in peace.
Surely all the people who wanted Nazis off Substack will also celebrate the ban on the Hamas flag
Oh wait, the Israeli government is very clearly promoting a violent ideology as well… we need to… outlaw the Israeli flag?
Oh wait
Hang on
I like how Israel is probably a major reason for the rising anti-semitism yet the world ignores that part for whatever reason
Came here to see the hamas supporter. 2nd comment.
I don’t support Hamas. They killed all those people; fuck them. I also don’t support the current Israeli government, because they occupy, kill, torture, rape, and systematically dehumanize 5 million people, most of whom didn’t do anything wrong and just want to live. So, fuck the Israeli government too.
I was just making a point about how forbidding the flags doesn’t have much to do with solving anything about that situation.
Your comparison is a bit amiss though. The comparable thing would be to ban symbols of Likud and right-wing Israeli parties.
Funny how all these Roman salutes started when Posie Parker held a rally and now her crowd are staunch supporters of Israel and this law also punishes people for criticizing Israel. Never a good sign when your law also targets those who also tend to oppose the fascists.
Let the Slippery Slope begin.
Let’s ban Nazis! “Sure sounds good”
and Hezbollah! “ok”
And Hamas! “sure”
and anyone who criticizes Israel! “well we already do that, so I guess it’s good to make that official policy.”
and anyone who criticizes allies of Israel! “Wait what?”
You Fascist anti-semite!

and hate symbols inclu… oh for fuck sake.

I’m surprised, sad, shocked and disappointed that such laws even have to exist.
There are actually people out there who want Nazism to exist and flourish. Why are many so short-sighted not to learn at least from recent history?
- World War II and the Cold War
- Chernobyl and Fukushima
- Deepwater Horizon and Exxon Valdez
- Sidoarjo and Lusi volcanoes
- North Pacific Garbage Patch
- Climate change in general
… and so on. So many lessons to ignore and mistakes to repeat, because many can’t be bothered to look for new solutions to old problems.
I’m against this because it will always get abused, and who gets to determine what is acceptable hate? Is an atheist flag religious hate when religiosity becomes socially popular? Do State flags become hate symbols when their people want to secede? Someone’s terrorist is another person’s hero, and it’s all relative - we’re seeing this with the changing sentiment about Israel and Palestine.
This just can’t be trusted.
Are they also banning the Viet Cong flag? Cause that’s basically what Hamas and Hezbollah are for their respective countries. Also, equating resistance movements with the Nazis is utterly disgusting.
