    In the US, neonazis fuck up the symbol so often that it makes no sense to differentiate between the two. I don’t even think most neonazis know there’s a difference.

    I don’t think you’re going to get rid of that symbolic appropriation either. Once you see a family member murdered by someone carrying a symbol, you’re never going to see that symbol the same again. A trauma has been fused to it.
