    It was used in Poland as a symbol of feminism when women protested against criminalization of abortion.

    This is why it became nazi imagery, declared and sanctioned by polish right-wing government because they needed an excuse to stop the movement.

    You from america, friend?

      I’m gonna need some proof of this. I wonder why a German, designing a sign for the German members of the SS in 1929 (10 years before Germany invaded Poland), would choose a sign with the purpose of harming a Polish feminist/pro-abortion movement.

      It makes no sense and I can’t find any sources saying anything like that at all.

      So cough up some sources. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

        What are you on about? Red and black anti fascism? Like, I dunno, people who wore those uniforms?

        Yes, I am talking about this symbol. And while on the image you picked it clearly looks more like lightning, the narrower version was used too. And the idea that “SS” and “S” is the very same thing is just bonkers. All the alphabet would be symbols of hate by now.

            Oh god.

            So swastika (a hindu symbol) got taken by nazis and now nazi colours are taken by anti-nazis.

            And everyone still thinks they know definitely what specific symbol/colour/letter symbolizes?

            I’m giving up. I’m never correcting anyone on nazis ever again. If someone tells me that rainbow was used by hitler-lovers, I will just accept it as possible.
