Facebook removes Trump campaign ads using Nazi symbol

The inverted Red Triangle most certainly is a Nazi symbol.

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

Yeah, I do agree that the Trump campaign lacked taste in using Antifa's symbol as a marker to promote dislike for Antifa. I actually hate the actions of the Antifa group from watching their promotional videos talking about causing trouble. They are nothing but a bunch of people trying to cause trouble, this is not a political issue, it is a legal issue, our government should just take action against that group that is inciting terror on people and not make it a political issue, both the Republicans and Democrats should unite against that group and the White Supremacist groups. Also, something should be done to get Black lives matter under control, some of their members are inciting arson, that kind of activity is not included in our right to protest.

This is like discovering that the OK hand sign is one of white power.

You had to discover that? Are you sure you aren't a white supremacist? Cause only a white supremacist wouldn't have know that the OK was a white power symbol. The rest of us are born knowing these things.

Facebook vomited all over themselves today !

Exposed as supporters of violence ! 😀

Facebook is an American company that can deny ad sales per its policies.

Anyone seeking government intervention in the matter of an American company following its established policies can be accurately described as a:

a) Communist
b) Socialist
c) Fascist
d) All of the above

Nazi symbolism cannot be posted here either or I would demonstrate graphically.

The Nazi badge to indentify Jewish enemies of the state was literally a gold Star of David with the word Jude inside it.

Anyone can Google it that doesn't already know that.

This is the Antifa symbol that incorporated
the actual Nazi triangle.
www.foxnews.com...

Scroll down it is in the top of the article.

I see what you are doing.

Keep reading the fox article, it's in my OP too.

While Antifa operates in a semi-autonomous fashion, most imagery associated with the group does not feature an upside-down red triangle. Instead, the symbols most commonly associated with the group are a circle with red and black flags in it or a circle with three arrows pointing down and to the left.

How so?

By following their company policies regarding Nazi hate symbols?

Or inaccurately, as Farcebook has done here.

Next up? Probably any yellow stripe!

Like The Rolling Stone article said, you all are going
to be your own worst enemies.

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.

The Star of David is a Nazi symbol too?

Did anyone tell the Jews? They might want to know they are using a Nazi symbol; someone might mistakenly think they want to start concentration camps in the US.

The golden Star of David was used in Nazi Germany to identify Jews as enemies of the state.

Are you trying to deny that?

For gods sakes no; I'm not denying that ... please don't call Facebook on me ... I have kids to feed.

I was just wondering if the Jews know they have placed a prominent Nazi symbol at the heart of their religion.

And what does Facebook think about that? I have to imagine there are many Jewish organizations that post that hate symbol regularly.

Coincidence? I think not.....

You're only making these jokes to deflect from the situation. It doesn't make Republicans or Conservatives look good when you and others do that.

I didn't mean to be condescending.

You seem confused. Are you posting on Facebook?

This is ATS.

A red inverted triangle was used in the 1930s to identify Communists, and was applied as well to Social Democrats, liberals, Freemasons and other members of opposition parties incarcerated by the Nazis. The badge forced on Jewish political prisoners, by contrast, featured a yellow triangle overlaid by a red triangle so as to resemble a Star of David.

The red triangle appeared in paid posts sponsored by Trump and Vice President Pence, as well as by the “Team Trump” campaign page. It was featured alongside text warning of “Dangerous MOBS” and asking users to sign a petition about antifa, a loose collection of anti-fascist activists whom the Trump administration has sought to link to recent violence, despite arrest records that show their involvement is trivial.

When I lived in Spain the red triangle was used to warn about pornographic or adult content. Just goes to show really.

You're in favor then of the government telling Facebook how to run their business?

Should Trump have the DOJ sue to protect his right to display Nazi symbolism?

By the looks of that picture Hitler also wore ties?

Lots of male politicians ware those .... gulp

Pretty good take by Pool:



Seems along the same lines as always.. Bizarre behavior precipitated by media, folks embrace the take like a drug, social cohesion continues to deteriorate.

Its amazing how people seem to communicate with others literally using media as a middleman.

a reply to: DanDanDat

Sure Dan Dan. But not all campaigners. However, the top folk yes. For sure. The campaign managers in charge of public relations. That should after all be their job.

It's kind of like that rally he wants to hold in Tulsa.I don't think for a moment that that date was chosen to insult anyone, more it was just chosen randomly. But given the pulse of the country now, would it not have been smart to look into local customs and national history to avoid that conflict of ideologies?

In Nazi Germany it was used to denote Communists, Social Democrats and other "enemies of the state" ... I wonder which one the Trump campaign meant to invoke in this context?

So the red triangle is on ANTIFA stuff? Wait ...

They're anti-fascist. How could they be walking around with a giant Nazi symbol on one of their banners for the Trump campaign to even end up with Nazi symolism in its ad?

There's a real awesome one of Hitler holding a Bible too.

That's been really popular lately again, holding up Bibles as a political stunt.

According to the link below Nazi's used donkeys! Any image with a donkey is now a Nazi symbol!
