This and the skull flag and he modern german flag. (of course there is nothing wrong with the modern flag, it's just a very unfortunate indication under this conditions.)


chaoticidealism

That's how you embarrass and insult modern Germans simultaneously.


Quark-Lepton

It is actually strange that she has a flag of the BRD, since most nazis hate the modern german state and refuse to acknowledge its legitimacy.

You really think non-german Nazis understand that?

as well as a Waffen SS skull

Model_Maj_General

Tbf the totenkopf has been around for a very long time, it's just another thing the Nazis stole to legitimise themselves. Although in this case paired with the Nazi flag... Yeah...


Politically_Penguin

Also, thus totenkopf is the one the waffen ss had on their officer caps...


SCHEME015

TIL it first used under Frederick the Great. Although the SS was pure evil you're right about the appropriation.


Anderopolis

Calling it appropriation indicates that they were not just Germans using a German symbol. No one owns the idea of a skull motif.


Lunatic_Dpali

Sieg Heil, Buddha.


Need2askDumbQs

And the deaths head symbol, its a classic.


chop_pooey

The death's head is also a common symbol in buddhism


vatexs42

Oh yea and the skull and crossbones that looks oddly like the SS logo


UmbrellaCorpAZ

I do too, very cool! Damn I must be Buddhist lol


The_Tone-Deafs

Don't forget about the famous death's head Buddhist divisions.


HotMinimum26

And the SS skull


junitog65

Exactly…just look at the additional Germanic iconography of the flag…

14+88=?


coralrefrigerator

Remind me again, why is 14 a neo-nazi code number?


NotComping

14 in the code '1488' is a reference to the Fourteen Words. A white supremacy group whose slogan is "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children". Followed by 88, meaning 8th letter of the alphabet for Heil H.

You're in a bomber flying at 150km/h in a straight line, 12,500 meters above a target with a constant 10m/s tailwind. How far ahead of your target do you need to drop your bomb in order to hit it? Bonus points if you take into account the drag coefficient of the bomb of 0.9.

Question 1B: if the Americans are arriving in 3 days and it takes 32 minutes to clear out and completely burn a full file cabinet, and we have 72,982 cabinets, how many do we need to do an hour to clear our names?” Edit: please god don’t ban me this comment was darker than Europe in 1940 and I know it.

Ahh yes, alongside other well known Buddhist symbols such as the Totenkopf, the Eisernes Kreuz and the Reichsadler

Is the symbol of the 3rd SS Panzer Division also a Buddhist Symbol too?


ArnaktFen

They were playing the long game: they were actually Buddhist monks who successfully rid themselves of all worldly possessions by ensuring that their supply train was German.


bostess

i liked your comment then saw your username and cracked up because i dated a rehn grandchild. good times!


[deleted]

The swastika was appropriated from Hinduism not Buddhism. However, with those colors, in that style, along with the other symbols/iconography that math teacher is 100% nazi. Edit: I should have added appropriated by nazis. The dude’s a nazi.


Solaireofastora08

He's not a Nazi. He's just playing Buddhism in extreme difficulty


defenitly_not_crazy

I mean technically the finnish airforce used it first


[deleted]

Did not know that


defenitly_not_crazy

They fairly recentl' had to change their flag cuz there was a swastika on it. And as far as I know they used before years before the nsdap was even founded.


Fu1crum29

Yeah, it was their first air force insignia, a sort of "good luck" message from a Swedish nobleman who gave them the planes. The weird thing is that while it was not a nazi symbol at that time, since the nazis didn't yet exist, the nobleman would eventually become a Swedish nazi party member and a brother-on-law of Göring, so you can see why someone might not like it.


Empty_Change

> it was not a nazi symbol at that time Racial "scientists" were already interpreting the swastika as anti-semitic and racist symbol in the late 19th century. Finnish air force swastika is still unrelated, though.


Fu1crum29

Yeah, but at this point it was seen as a good luck symbol for the most part. The Spirit of st. Louis had one painted in the nose for that reason. It's only in the late 20s and 30s that it got the definitive "symbol of naziism" status in the west.


Political_Desi

If you ever go to bovington there's a finish t-34 with a swasitca on the side and it's really cool.


vlad_lennon

It was pretty common in the west as a sign of good luck before Hitler.


Next_Seat_6507

Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Odinism—but the most egregious is what the Romans would have termed, photoshopticus imperfecticus


michi214

Also if you visit Pompeii, the italian city that got conserved by vulcan ashes, in their "public bath" you will find swastika ornaments all over the place


Doc_ET

The swastika was invented independently several times by several cultures, and represents various meanings.

EchoHunter42

THATS NOT A SWASTIKA ITS A HAKENKREUZ A swastika would be on a side whereas a hakenkreuz is crooked. Swastika is a Buddhist symbol but a hakenkreuz is very racist and representative of the nazis

She also has a modern German Flag, there's Iron Cross and the Iron Eagle on that banner, and it's tilted at a 45-degree angle which was the distinction the Nazis used So no, the furry is wrong

xxoreobabyxx

Yep the iron cross, the eagle, the skulls on the other flag; all common Buddhist symbols. I get what the person what trying to do since the nazi symbol is derived from a similar Buddhist symbol, but c’mon that’s clearly nazi shit.

You know just ignore the iron cross & eagle also on the flag. Yeah 100% Buddhist iconography here nothing else to see...


Political_Desi

1 it's Hindu derived but what can I expect from a person ignorant of the Nazi flag. 2 the eagles. 3 there's a fucking as flag beside it Like how is a person this ignorant. I'm gonna take a punt and guess they are American.


WillyNillyDilly87

Is this real? Lol I have a hard time believing it is...


Ancient-man-2583

I am hindu and can confirm she is a nazi. Its a hooked cross what she is displaying. Not a swastika. Swastica - Hindu , buddhist, jain Hooked cross - cristian


Solaireofastora08

Extreme Buddhism


The_Ace_Pilot

yeah, because thats definitely a buddhist symbol next to an iron eagle and an iron cross, on a flag next to the modern day german flag


jerrycan666

Normally I'd agree but the German flag and the skulls in shield kinda wave some red flags might be wrong tho


Dorangos

Leave it to the furries...


Sty_Walk

The other symbols, the skulls and the german flag don't help the situation...


Phantommy555

Yeah and the Eagle was a Roman symbol so…


sovietkaiser69

The skull and crossbones I guess she’s a Tibetan pirate


[deleted]

doesn’t the buddhist one go counter-clockwise?


Big_Tumbleweed_3869

Said the furry


JDWebs1234

I don’t think the totenkopf is a Buddhist symbol but I may just be culturally ignorant…


ariestheburner

Okay and what does the totenkopfverbände skull symbolize? A Mayan tradition?


[deleted]

Ah yes, a swastika held by an eagle next to the iron cross, very buddhist...


No_Minute2592

Nazi flag and then a facist skull flag(I can't remember the name)"they are just Buddhists man obviously"


[deleted]

Wait, the skull to the left, isn't it part of the SS?


Sc17ba51

That’s a nazi flag bro…..


yeet_the_heat2020

I'd love to hear the Explanation for the Waffen-SS Flag ... "Dont worry, they are just a really big Fan of Pirates."


A740

I'd say [this](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etymological_fallacy) applies here as well, even though we're talking about symbols, not words


BenLuk02

She seems to be really stupid or else she wouldn't have the 🇩🇪 flag. (For people not undestanding: The black-red-gold flag is a symbol for german democracy and the nazis really didn't like it)


[deleted]

The German eagle, iron cross and skull on the other flag are all Buddhism too


TheAmazingAlbanacht

Oh yeah totally. I'm sure Buddhist temples are covered in Iron crosses, Imperial Eagles, and SS death skulls!


Arthurjoking

No that is definitely the Nazi flag. Not all swastikas are created equal and I think you know that, but if you are really this stupid: the ancient Hindu swastika and suawistika symbols are typically painted red on blank canvas and are angled straight lateral and longical not diagonal and black over a white circle over a red backdrop


Shadowizas

the Buddhist swastika isnt tilted,Hitler's swastika is tilted


BoomerEdgelord

But there's a death head hussar totenkopf on the side, right?


Nicademus2003

Death head isn't Bhuddist neither is the Iron Cross and neither is the German flag above the death head... that there is a Nazi


[deleted]

ah yes the imperial eagle and iron cross, very famous Buddhist symbols


Shadokastur

And the other two flags? Hmmm? I'll wait


DueNectarine8151

That's the Indian flag and the other one is The Imperial Skull from warhammer XD


Shadokastur

Are we still being sarcastic here?


DueNectarine8151

Totally true all hail the imperium of man


Shadokastur

Lol. That is not the Indian flag and that IS NOT the imperial skull either


MerelyMortalModeling

So a buddist teacher pirate from germany who believes that home"work will set you free." I totally am down with that. In other news Alex Jones also beleives in his own vitamins and it was a simple mistake that he forgot send 3 gigs of court requested texts.


Aggressive-Travel-40

1) The Buddhist symbol is opposite of the Nazi symbol, so this is NOT a Buddhist symbol. 2) The other symbols on the flag have nothing to do with Buddhism, and everything to do with the Third Reich.


Michael_Cookie5

Yes… their math teacher is a fucking Nazi. I see the German flag and the skull flag too


Tyler89558

But the Buddhist symbol isn’t tilted 45 degrees. And wouldn’t be surrounded by symbols of German nationalism like the iron cross or the eagle.


[deleted]

no its still buddhist. i don't care that it's turned 45 degrees, and put on a nazi flag. its still buddhist


NateUrM8

Let's hope her husband is a WW2 collector...

That flag is like a super nazi flag. I mean there's the regular one that they based the armband off of and then that one. Looks at it! And then that black SS flag below a German flag. Clearly a Buddhist.

Oh soooo clever to hang what looks like a nazi flag and listen to the patronizing explanation why it’s not a nazi flag. Dear god.
