No, he really has sucked as mayor. Can't get to work on time, late for everything, he's a reply to: carewemust
A total communist sympathizer and leftist troll.
To me the peace symbol is marred by official narrative, associating it with communism. Really, it was an anti war symbol used by demonstrators in the 60s, subverted to communist symbology by the MSM, the same way symbols are still subverted today.

Here is what think is a symbol of hate. It fact, it is quite "deplorable" to me.

The " Peace Symbol " was designed by British Artist Gerald Holtom. It was commissioned by CND ( Campaign For Nuclear Disarmament ) for a rally at Canterbury Cathedral in 1958.
It has no links to Communism.

Mayor de Blasio said he already has one specific target in mind: a sidewalk marker in downtown Manhattan for Nazi collaborator Henri Phillipe Petain.
Well they better ban George Soros.
He was a nazi collaborator.
(i.e. The "Fighting Irish")

Well, you may as well add the British Flag to your list then.
I mean, my people killed a heap of Nazis and were proud to do it in the main. My forebears certainly were. And lets face it, if it ever goes down like that again, I will be under one of those flags, and I will ensure it drinks its fill of fascist blood, so you may as well include it, if being against fascism and Nazism and prepared to kill to defeat it, is a metric you are genuinely trying to apply for inclusion in a list of hate symbols... utter poppycock of course, but since we are all being good and stupid about this, and failing to see there is a difference between hate itself and the combating of it, you may as well.
Damned incompetents are everywhere.

I ask this question, because America's largest city, New York City, has started an intense 90 day investigation to identify all "hate symbols" in the city, and take appropriate action.
The city has already identified one "symbol of hate" for removal.

It seems that without a government-certified list of symbols that constitute HATE, identifying all of them is too subjective...too open to interpretation. And probably some lawsuits as well.
Do you prefer that each city determine what constitutes "hate"? Personally, I think the entire movement is crazy. A slippery slope that can end up making America barren of Statues, Christmas Trees, Crosses, along with banning certain nicknames and mascots for sports teams. (i.e. The "Fighting Irish")

Like Washington Redskins or the White House?
Symbols are different than icons or monuments (like statues).
Everyone knows a swastika, that it represents hate. But What about the cross, the peace symbol, the smiley face ?Someone is always offended.
I vote to ban traffic signs. But that represents the road we're all on, the future will be hieroglyphic, everything has symbols in the new multiculture.
Seriously, everyone? Hindus, Buddhists, and Jainists all have recognized the swatsika as a very good symbol. That is why the Nazi's claimed it for themselves. The other religions have a much longer symbolism than the limited and short lived nazism.

Believe me...America is still a melting pot and there are many of those faiths who live and visit here. Just because someone has a swatsika, does NOT mean they are a nazi or HATE!

So, you think that all those people with Swastikas, chanting Blood and Soil, throwing Nazi salutes, and screaming about white power, were somehow not Nazis? Would you rather ACTUAL fascism was not challenged? Because the only people challenging actual fascists in this day and age, are ANTIFA. The police are not doing it. The secret service are not doing it. Trump is not doing it. There are no people in MAGA hats beating down Nazis and laying the law down to the fascist horde, so what do you propose? Appease them? Allow them a platform?
Do you know nothing of history, or are you eager to see it repeat perhaps? How deep is YOUR head in the sand?
