“The Nazi Totenkopf is one very specific graphic design of a skull and crossbones,” Pitcavage says. “And the monkey skull resembles it in no way except insofar as all skulls resemble each other to a certain degree.”
Pitcavage also points out that the Nazis were by no means the first to adopt the Totenkopf — and, in fact, the version used by the Waffen-SS (the combat branch of the Nazi party’s SS organization) predates the Nazi party entirely. “It dates back to the Prussian military, way before Adolf Hitler was even born,” he says.
Ackshually it’s ok to use swastikas because they’re Buddhist symbols, which is obviously the only connotation that they have nowadays
I mean yeah, in certain contexts. In significant parts of the world they pretty much exclusively have that connotation still, the Nazis didn’t really affect it that much. But yeah, if you’re in the Americas or Europe cut that shit out obviously lol
dont check my profile i exclusively post about buddhism every day and nothing nazi related :joker-gaming:
