For those who are fortunate enough to not know, this is the Black Sun, a Nazi symbol. The first time I’ve seen Nazi iconography in my life in person. These people are out there.

I have never seen this symbol before. Is there a list or infograph or something depicting the various symbols?
warpfactor1
Haha these stupid people dont know i have a nazi symbol on my car, so owning the libs right now - that guy probably
belindashort
It's more of a dogwhistle to other nazis
zafner
Doesn't look like a sun, and definitely not black. Lame
martyroflittlefaith
imagine buying this because you think it looks nifty and having all of your car windows smashed out one day lol
aiuta219
I live in the very African-American majority town of Gary, Indiana. There's a dipshit down the street with the wifi SSID of RaHoWa, which
aiuta219
is a racist slogan for "Racial Holy War." He's also flying a confederate and a "Trump 2024 the victory tour" flag.

Having never seen that symbol before, I knew it was a Nazi symbol the moment I saw it. I just could not Nazi It.
josephfrancistribbiani
So close
relsky
I think he intended the double negative... he "could not not see it"...
josephfrancistribbiani
That…that makes sense
Puppersforall
I had a shirt with that symbol and a dog on a few years back, wore it often until I realised what it actually meant. Oops.
Robtheshaman
Well, someone should get q smashed window with a rock
moocowincog
I was told that was a sun wheel or Wheel of Odin, a Norse symbol.. learned it's a tenuous link at best. This particular design is modern.
aThingWithTheStufAndTheJunk
Neo-nazis love that faux-Norse shit because Christianity is too Jewish for them.
KashiofWavecrest
I thought Prince Xizor ran Black Sun

Interesting. I've read a lot of WWII history and never encountered that symbol. I've learned something today~
Sonicschilidogs
It's neo-nazi shit not old school Nazi shit
BaWitda
No, old nazi shit too. Himmler designed it.

seriously? damn I just read a good fantasy novel called Black Sun by native author Rebecca Roanhorse

Seems its specifically a "neo-Nazi" symbol.

actually.. you are wrong. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wewelsburg

What part of that is relevant? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Sun_(symbol)

in that case... you earned yourself half a beer

LoL, wow. You don't like what I said so I'm a Nazi and should kill myself?
HeyQueef
You don't tell someone a thumbs down. You just you know thumbs down
MrJwinkyface
I hate how they try to steal other symbols like Norse ones. Fuck that. Hail Odin, punch a Nazi.
MileyCyprusHill
I can't seem to keep up with the times b/c I had no clue they're stealing runes now. Wtf?
NihilisticOptimist
Yeah...the Nazis did it, because iirc, the upper brass were into occultism. Now NeoNazis use them frequently -_- it drives us nuts.
5amNonsense
Since the 40's I'm afraid
NihilisticOptimist
Fellow Norse Pagan here, it irks me to no end when people see my rune tattoos and ask if I'm a Nazi -_-
somethingfunandwitty
I almost got a rune tattoo. I’m glad I didn’t just cause of the nazis. Fuck them.
DontYuckMyYum
i had to stop wearing my bracelets at work because there were a few complaints about the runes on them.
NihilisticOptimist
That's shit, dude. I'm sorry, I'm always worried about my boss complaining about my jewelry too. This is going to be a uphill battle for us.
jennontheisland
I saw a ton of them at the last Slayer concert. We actually had a Nazi counting competition when we realized...
Jacksmashsteel
When there are that many Nazi's at your concert and you don't denounce them doesn't that make you complicit?
Sonicschilidogs
I heard that Samuel Colt made a good Nazi counting tool, but you have to reset it every 6 clicks
PTKrieg
By WWII, John Browning had upgraded it to 7 clicks plus an extra click in the pipe if you're feeling saucy.

GlobularCloyster
The appropriate response to seeing a Nazi. Remember that

Fuck, dude. I could watch nazis get punched in the face all day.
Fasrill
Mmm, not a fan personally; because it legitamizes their feelings of being victims of persecution, which they then use to their advantage.
beclamide
I don’t think Nazis feel persecuted. They just hate everyone and blame everything for their own pathetic lives.

Doxxing is still bad mmkay
onlyheretoargue
Not if you're doxing nazis. Fuck nazis.
boobafette
fuck nazis
Dionysus187
Doxxing is when personal info that isn't otherwise public is made public. License plates are quite public.
Radix865
Some places consider spreading any kind of information with malicious intent as doxxing, this includes even things like twitter handles.
Rathner
Also this, I do OSINT and you have to be very careful about not sharing stuff you find.
Rathner
This is true, but also false. I know for certain in California license plates are considered PII and doing so could get you in trouble.
Rathner
In other states, you may get in trouble for intent. If you posted it and said something along "get this guy"
Dionysus187
In regards to public agencies collecting license plate information.
Rathner
No, this can apply to a individual. You also may be breaking ToS by sharing such things.
Blackfinity
I thought it was one of the many Star Wars symbols people are getting tattooed on themselves.
HeNeverSawMollyAgain
I guess all Mandalorians play Fender guitars or basses
reaver92
No the black sun in star wars is like a pointy ring around a dot
Radix865
I also thought it looked like an imperial symbol or something.
FlintNorth44
Lots of stuff in Star Wars is based on WWII.
KanzenChowa
While I'm against what that symbol stands for I gotta say if it wasn't for the nazi thing its a cool looking symbol
Dankking
I was gonna say the same. It’s kinda like a spiderweb

I totally would've thought sci-fi or steam punk... good to know ahead of time...

If I’d seen that before knowing what it meant, I’d have thought they might be a fan of those new airless tires.

my default is to assume this dumbass got a cool sticker he found some place and has no idea
binksays
im jewish and has no idea…. but i also wouldn’t put random symbols i didn’t understand on my car so i’m at an impasse with myself
CaldariBob
It's part of the reason why they chose it.
314159isallicanremember
It's a Norse symbol. They stole it because they can't make anything good. They only steal.
Snooj
The shittiest thing about the Nazis was that their propaganda was on point. Big eagles, iron crosses, huge architecture. Great aesthetic.
theblacksharpie
Don’t forget uniforms by Hugo Boss
belindashort
They probably stole it
OneDoesNotSimplyCreateACleverUsername
They did. Stole and then modified for their purposes.
Ironbunny
the nazis are double assholes for having cool stuff and ruining by being assholes.
xizar
I have a tickle of memory that suggests they (designers of nazi uniforms) got on fashion magazine covers decades ago.
IDontKnowTHIRDBASE
I mean, Nazi uniforms were designed by Hugo Boss…
xizar
At very least, I do remember a panel from Maus (1980) mentioning how good the father looked in a properly sized CC prisoner outfit.
BigDaddysMeatWagon
This right here. Black leather dust coats are badass but thanks to nazi officers they're off limits.
PastaNominem2
My brother gifted me a cup with pathfinder symbol from Iceland. Seeing it helped me get through. Learned it's used by white nationalists /1
PastaNominem2
I got a cup with NASA's Pathfinder instead, to drink my coffee in public. Retired the original /End
CompletelyUniqueUsername
Yep that's true for a lot of totalitarian icons. Nazis and Soviets had cool art in service of evil.
drbloodbathmc
I have to agree. Same with leadership ranks for the KKK. Racists took the title “Grand Dragon” and I’m pissed.
freckledkink
There's also the Sons of Confederate Veterans. They're KKK-lite. They aren't recognized by any genealogical, reenactment, or historical
freckledkink
Groups. They have Facebook pages, ffs. It's all hate. Tate Reeves belongs to them (not a shocker).
LarvaLamp
I heard there's all sorts of cool titles like Lord High Cyclops and Imperial Wizard and stuff like that. Buncha nerds.

They've ruined a lot of good symbols...this, the swastika, runes...

The Holbein style knife too. Those are just beautiful.

They stole a lot of awesome symbols that stand for wonderful things and bastardized them. I'm white, so I can't try to make a zen garden or
freckledkink
Have the proper statues with the proper symbols (people will think I'm trying to get away with hiding Nazi symbols). The original ones are
freckledkink
Lovely, still widely used, and have beautiful meanings with long history. I wish they could be reclaimed for their peaceful meanings.
katydidnot
Can you imagine not knowing what it stood for, I didn't, and just thinking that's cool and putting it on your vehicle?
ThisIsMyCircusThoseAreMyMonkeys
I live in fear of doing exactly this.
d3ltabrav00
I think it looks native or Aztec almost *shrug* Nazi's ruined a lot of symbols =(
TheVermonster
My parents bought a used van with a cool owl sticker on it. My mom scraped it off because she didn't know if it meant something or not.
ThisIsMyCircusThoseAreMyMonkeys
Oh no, please don’t tell me they’ve ruined the iconography around owls too!
SuggestedUsernamesAreWeird
Hopefully that's the situation this guy is in and someone tells him nicely.
BojanglesTheFlyingCar
Like all the cops and vets with punisher stickers
anangrykarebear
Or getting it as a tattoo!
AsinusAdLyram
That would also require a tattoo shop not noticing what it was and saying something, but OOOOOF
SeriousSeamstress
Anytime I make something I check to make sure any symbols/designs don't mean anything shady. It can takes hours but worth it.
VitaminBeaPositive
I mean, I can imagine it. I would not be willing to put money on it being coincidence, but sure, it's not outside the realm of chance.
Markuspsyches
When I a kid I saw an episode of Superman, with frozen guys with arm bands waking up, thought the symbol looked cool so I started drawing it
adventureswithadhd
Reminds me of when my siblings and I found stuffed animal in our new house. All girls we had no idea it was a stuffed penis. Awkward convo

zachleedogg
I did the same thing as a kid. It was an awkward conversation to explain to me what it was.

That's basically the entire purpose Anime has with Nazis. They look cool and Western.

Season 2 of Jojo's Bazaar Adventure. Our heroes are saved from the vampire hoards with the help of...the Nazis! Uh...yay? maybe, I guess?
Braveemink
Pretty sure most nazi esque stuff in anime is paired with imperialism, boy let me tell you how much those animators hate imperialism
HonestCommentFarmer
It depends. I've encountered works where I'm pretty sure the author thought Imperial Japan wasn't such a bad idea.
2graves
That's only in younger generations that didn't deal with it, from my experience living there
ZoidbergIsGreat
So was the swastika. Was used as a religious symbol for centuries before those fucking twats latched onto it
KoalaOnTheJuice
Say what you want about the tennents of national socialism dude, but at least their graphic design skills are half decent.
Crowwwww
What's your point koala?
MoonQueenie
That's because they appropriated symbols from Norse mythology and India.
CaldariBob
They lifted pretty much all of it from different sources, though.
lemonyflavoredjunimo
Aren't those just recycled Norse runes or something similar? Hardly original thinking either way
subparphallus
Yup, good luck symbols in many different societies. Hindus still utilize to mean that
luceid
Yeah, they were run by an artist
C110PR
They literally just copied someone else's work.
MrJwinkyface
SerialChickenLover
They stole most of their iconography from other cultures. Typical.
LarvaLamp
Well, that, and a few squiggly lines are a pretty simple way to make a symbol.

The Nazi one has 12 "legs". There are similar ones non-Nazi (kind of like with swastika))

They are variants of a symbol commonly knows as the solar cross.

My family is Buddhist and I actually have necklaces of the swatizka or we call it chữ vạn I can never wear because you know
Alientongue
Is it a direct copy or are there noticable differences?
LordPigeon
Only to the incredibly uncommonly educated. Hitler reversed it, turned it 45 degrees, and sometimes the original includes dots in the spokes
LordPigeon
Iirc it originally stood for the sun or good luck but that knowledge is not nearly as common as the nazi usage.
Mediathug
Hitler's version has an “X” at its center, while the Buddhist version has a plus sign.

Same thing with their uniforms. They're abhorrent people but you gotta admit the SS were snappy dressers.

When I learned that fact, it became clear why the Proud Boys use the black and yellow Hugo Boss shirts as their unofficial uniform
nevets767
40k guardsmen of krieg. German uniforms, none of the nazis

That's cause the Death Korps is more WWI Germany than it is WWII.
