Pepe has been around when elon was still posing in a coat in front of a liberty sign.
and the swastika is ancient. that doesn't mean people using it in the West aren't usually dickheads.
D.. did you just compare pepe to a swastika?
Is everything ok?
yes, i did. and no, things are not ok. there's way too many outright Nazis and they love this stupid frog
Yeah its clearly more similar to the iron cross
Seems like an apt comparison to me. The frog has been used by hard right extremist groups almost religiously, I say let it croak.
The nazi symbol is always drawn in one way (卐). while the religious symbol can be drawn any direction, i usually see it the other way around (卍). could be that religious users want to distance themselves from shaved morons...
most of the people that use it hatefully don't know that and don't care. it's used both ways for hate, makes it really hard to differentiate.
