    Boomer checking in. I had no idea until this blew up that a skull and crossbones was associated with skinheads or nazi’s or anything right wing. Another common one is a skull with a dagger in the top and roses. Are those nazi also?

      It’s specifically this skull and crossbones, which is as widely associated with the Waffen-SS as the lightning bolts: If you’ve ever seen an SS member in any movie, they’re wearing it prominently.
