Also: What's the second symbol there? I know the Nazis, the Klan, what I expect are a couple neo-pagan/Aryan Nation types, and the Golden Dawn, but that sunburst type is unfamiliar.

ETA: Ah. That's the Black Sun, the Odal rune, and the AWB symbol.

That's the Black Sun, the SS used it in their officers' hall.


The 777 symbol below it is the AWB, an Afrikaner supremacist group.

And the bottom-left one is a seriffed Othala ("heritage" in proto-German) rune, a fairly obscure German Nazi symbol which has recently been adopted by the American Nazi Party as a replacement for the classical swastika, as they believe Trump's America finally gives them the chance to go mainstream.



quote:

But nobody wants a neo-Nazi in the halls of parliament. That’s a step too far, according to Mr Schoep. The Odal rune, a less-well-known Nazi Germany symbol, will take the place of the swastika on all official uniforms and banners.

Yeah, black sun gets used often by fascists trying not to look TOO much like fascists. You see it used by NSBM (nazi black metal) bands/fans and "national anarchists" for example.

I keep checking for the Crass symbol in these and kinda glad they haven't been misidentified.



I have a Crass shirt, and I really don't wear it too much because I've already had one person mistake it for an actual fascist symbol.

No, they're actually using a lambda stylized like Spartans from 300 because they're loving idiots.



"As their symbol the Identitarian movement uses a yellow lambda sign, a symbol that was painted on the shields of the Spartan Army and is supposed to commemorate the Battle of Thermopylae."

(Does Reddit count as an image host now, or is that hotlinking?)

Saw this making the rounds on the alt-right echochambers the other day, and I'm really skeptical of it. I guess mainly because "Al Qaeda terrorist" sounds like something a racist says because their crowd don't know ISIS from the Free Syrian Army from their local newsagent.

But a quick bit of googling just has lots of right wing websites sharing the image and I can't find any information on the actual source. Really curious if it is actually true, or if it's a hilarious lie.

Doesn't mention al-qaeda in the readable part, just that he was a former fighter and doesn't like Assad. The account that made the original tweet is a big Assad fan and yeah probably calls everybody opposed to him al-qaeda. it's like a year old & almost certainly bullshit

It's a little outdated, let's see how the 2016 version looks (Imgur murdered this image BTW):



Looking at the methodology, it is just from asking a few questions directly to a sample population in each country. China is pretty obviously not the most welcoming country in the world to refugees, some UN data on the subject. One possible issue was an unclear translation, this article suggests that the question in Chinese sounded like it was asking about internal refugees, displaced by disaster; rather than international refugees. Of course none of the data from this is very trustworthy, it just discovers what people in each country think what they should say about refugees and has nothing to do with action.
