I accept that she wasn’t referencing the historical meaning on purpose. She likely wasn’t a classic Nazi trying to dog whistle. However, not recognizing the phrase is concerning. Especially given the current rise of Nazi-compatible ideology in power.
If she didn’t mean it that way, I don’t see how it’s concerning. A lot of people display swastikas with no intention of referring to Nazis. The words “final” and “solution” aren’t owned by Nazi Germany into perpetuity.
I didn’t say they were a Nazi. And I thought you might be trolling because " A lot of people display swastikas with no intention of referring to Nazis." sounds risible.
Well yes, the swastika was used way before Nazi time and while they definitely sullied it, I am not sure denying others the use for a completely different meaning is the best way forward.
I know it has a history. That’s not the same as “a lot of people” still use it for other meaning today. If you see a swastika, you can be pretty confident what they mean

Not sure if trolling, but: I feel like people show know relevant, recent, history.
Not knowing a specific phrase isn’t exactly unheard of. And a person using it to mean something else isn’t a Nazi.
Not sure if you’re trolling or just a fucking idiot.
