      Oh yeah, this was absolutely a trial balloon. If there hadn’t been an immediate backlash this would have been rolled out across all US armed forces.

    Looking forward to the discourse around the Graham Platner of the moment 20 years from now that “accidentally” got a hate symbol tattoo in the few hours when it was “acceptable”. soviet-playful

          He gets a full back tattoo of “Arbeit macht frei”. And then he says he didn’t know what it meant exactly but he thought it was a message of solidarity of everybody “working together” to make a better world.

            No, that’s Charlie Chaplin on my bicep, not who you’re saying. Yeah he’s wearing a uniform, it’s from one of his movies or whatever.

              I got a Black Hole Sun tat on my right calf because I love Soundgarden so much. But then people told me the symbol was something bad. I didn’t know that! And they told me the music wasn’t even Soundgarden. But I didn’t know that either! All of this is very, very confusing.

      In the future everyone is going to ask where you were on the Day of the Apolitical Coast Guard Swastika.

    With the paywall, all I can see is the hed and dek, but changing the swastika and noose to “potentially divisive” seems like they just didn’t like the PR they were getting from the first announcement.

      “Potentially divisive” was the new status that was previously announced. This atticle is about a reversal of that decision.

        Maybe they meant “potentially divisive” in a “your head should be divided from your neck” sense thonk

    After I don’t watch old-school cartoons for a long time - once the music plays I’m always instantly reminded how excellent the music is in them.

      Idk if you already know, but part of the aim of the og looney tunes was to get kids to listen to classical music, or at least feature it prominently. It was called looney tunes (not 'toons) for a reason

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember… we’re all comrades here.

Rules:

– PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE –

Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.

If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.

Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.

Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.

Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.

Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like ‘Raid: Shadow Legends’ in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.
