Facebook removes Trump campaign ads using Nazi symbol

These are people (the progressives) who have already canceled a successful black female entrepreneur and former slave no less who made an indelible mark on the world by excelling in her field and becoming a signal of success and empowerment.

I could care less how they want to interpret anything else or what gets their knickers in a wad. They are a joke and anything they say or do is a joke; unfortunately, not a funny kind of joke, but a joke nonethelss.

One might ask just how stupid could the Trump campaign committee be to use a symbol tied to Nazi concentration camps.

Apparently as dumb as whomever decided my province's road signs?

Lots of red triangles. In both directions! Yellow, green , and black ones too.

By that logic practically everything is a Nazi symbol. The Red Cross is a Nazi symbol. They had a Red Cross Society after all.

This isn't a Nazi symbol. Most people will not associate it with National Socialism. It was a categorisation system the Nazis used for concentration camp inmates that people would probably not know about unless they were actively looking for a connection.

Neo-Nazis do not wear an upside down red triangle with pride. They don't display it on their websites or their flags.

Trump would start wearing a military uniform holding his hand up like Hitler, ordering police to shoot at people and his base would think this is as American as Obama, Bush, Clinton, Bush Sr, Regan, Carter, Ford, Nixon, etc...

... and just a few short days ago, the right was praising Zuckerberg ...

Now he's the EEEVIL progressive again.

Nazi symbols have no place in advertisements for anything in the US, much less a Presidential Election.

I feel one day 5 or 10 years from now I'm going to be sitting in a Trump built concentration camp literally kicking myself at not taking this red triangle seriously.

This is the day people; the day we could have turned it all around if only we took the red triangle seriously.

If my children read this in the future; understand I truly am sorry for the life I left you, I wish desperately that I had taken the Red Triangle Facebook ads more seriously... but it was a red triangle for gods sakes.

Nice appeal to emotion.

Facebook removed ads featuring Nazi symbols per their policies.

/thread

Thanks; I thought I did a nice job appealing to emotions as well.

I'm glad Facebook removed red triangles from its message boards as their own attempt to "appeal to emotion"; they did a much better job than I did I have to admit. Look how frighten people are now of Triangles ..... ok crap when I write the word Triangle using my smart phone a red triangle shows up in the predictive text box

Triangle.... there it is again

Triangle.... and again

Do you think this is Samsung broadcasting their desire to build concentration camps in the US? They are a South Korean company... thats real close to North Korea.... crap when I type North Korea my phone shows me the North Korean flag ....

North Korea.... there it is again.

This is getting way to scary for me.

Is this the 3rd time big tech has tried to strike you down President Trump. Stop trying to play patty cake. No more playing nice.

Don;t be afraid of these RHINO Mitch Mcconnels out there that say this is private bussiness dont set this precendence.

No smash these big tech conglomorates to smitherens.

You can try to redefine the argument, but the fact is that the inverted red triangle was, just like the Star of David and the Pink Triangle, used by the Nazis to mark prisoners in concentration camps as political enemies.

You're an intelligent poster; no need for disingenuous crap to defend Trump. He wasn't attacked, he'll just have to advertise with his Nazi symbolism somewhere else.

This is not funny anymore, and this is a big deal. I fear Trump wants to build concentration camps in the US.

Don't worry, we won't let that happen to you.



^^This is the correct response to anyone who is afraid of how extreme the current situation might get....left or right.

It's crazy how I included Fox News debunking the claim it's an Antifa logo, and an ATSer says it's an Antifa logo, with no proof, and that post has the most stars. That's insanity. So far right they don't even believe Fox news anymore. Scary. It's either people are that ignorant, or they are playing dumb and want the rise of Nazism in the USA lead by Trump.

It’s amazing the unintended consequences all of this of late is having. I feel his voting base growing by the day. Thank God only the left is moronic enough to believe this nonsense.

Do you mind being more specific? I'm not impressed by your vagueness.

I wasn't vague. I don't share your politics but I will never allow the government to round you up and put you in a concentration camp. And I really don't think Americans-at-large would stand for it either -- not even conservatives.

It doesn’t surprise me that Leftists are afraid of red triangles.
Maybe you guys should take a Rorschach test to see how far advanced the Leftist mental illness is.
Your heads would explode.

That symbol is not actually a Nazi symbol. Even the swastika symbol is a stolen symbol, it was actually a good symbol at one time. I think too much is being made out of everything lately. I am still trying to comprehend how come they are taking Aunt Jemima off of the syrup bottle and also Uncle Ben off of the rice. I mean, uncle Ben's rice has always been good rice, and although I prefer real maple syrup over fake stuff, Aunt Jemima Syrup was good fake syrup, just as good as Mrs. Buttersworth...Oh yeah, maybe they should get rid of the lady shaped bottle too, that is sexist.

They are making things out of Nothing in this country at alarming rates these days. I have no problem with a team being called the Redmen because they wear red sports uniforms, yet people are saying it has something to do with native Americans and should be changed....if the team sucked, then I would say the Native Americans should be irked, but there is nothing to all of this BS lately, it doesn't matter, focus on the big picture, do not focus on little pieces of the picture.

Most of the arguments are parroting what is heard in the echo chamber. They know that "ANTIFA" is bad, so by labelling anything in any venue as such, they think they've dismissed it, at least for the true believers.

Mr. Trump has already designated Fox as the enemy now. How long until we see the "FOX IS A TERRORIST TRAITOR THAT MUST BE DESTROYED" posts?

The inverted Red Triangle most certainly is a Nazi symbol.

It was clearly used intentionally in the same format the Nazis used.

Good, I hope so! That's why I created this thread to hear the opinions of Republicans and Conservatives. The far right base is predictable with their response.

Your condescending, passive aggressive attitude, is absolutely not welcome. Find a more polite way to express your opinion towards me or anyone on the internet going forward.

This just in......The Nazis and Hitler Himself drank water AND breathed air! Please stop doing both or I fear
For the concentration camps your building.....

Very tricky language you are using here.

Star of David dates back to 14th-century Prague and was
one of the main symbols of Judaism.

The Nazi's didn't create it, so to say that the symbol is generally
used by Nazi's is complete disinformation.
