Facebook removes Trump campaign ads using Nazi symbol

a reply to: ketsuko

No, of course not!

I see the most ridiculous lies posted all over
farcebook and they do not seem to care.

On the other hand, you can get in serious
trouble for using ordinary words like "carp".

It is sheer lunacy, and 1/3 the population
buys into it hook line and sinker.

Those camps have been coming from Trump since day 1. At this date, they only way they could possibly happen would be if he's getting re-elected, but we keep getting told that can't possibly happen because Joe Biden's basement is 50 pts ahead ... or something.

You forgot that Trump might just not call an election and take over FER THE TRUPMZI's. I mean it's ridiculous, but it's really happening so, at the end of the day...

What is stupid anymore?

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.

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?

Well I don't really know, but considering Spain and US relations are much closer in history, why opt for the old one?

Seriously, if you look for an image, and relate it to a movement, you can find a relationship. It's stupid on almost every level except the base.

Why do you do this? Do you believe that the vast majority of people in the US even know about the red triangle?

You confuse me sometimes. You can be very lucid and then very strange a day later.

Well, you do you as they say in the smart places.

I've said the same thing using different words, Gryph is a mystery to me too.

I don't believe I have ever noticed a red triangle on anything. If I saw one I'd initially assume it was some sort of construction or safety warning sign.

Except Fox news debunked that claim. It's in my OP.

No, what Fox said was "most" antifa signs don't use
that symbol. It did not say "all". Very tricky wording,
but this is a common tactic.

Yet the same symbol is an active emoji available on Facebook. Utterly unbelievable, but no longer unexpected from this group of insane idiots

The Nazis had a whole system of badges worked out for their camps. They used primarily triangles and colors. So colored triangles of all kinds are suspect for Nazi symbolism now per Facebook.

Single Triangles

Single triangles
Red triangle – political prisoners: social democrats, socialists, communists and anarchists; rescuers of Jews; trade unionists; and Freemasons.
Green triangle – convicts and criminals (often working as kapos).
Blue triangle – foreign forced laborers and emigrants. This category included apatrides, French refugees from Francoist Spain, whose citizenship was deprived and emigrants to countries which were occupied by Nazi Germany or were under German sphere of influence.[2]
Purple triangle – primarily Jehovah's Witnesses (over 99%) as well as members of other small pacifist religious groups.[notes 1]
Pink triangle – primarily homosexual men and those identified as such (e.g., bisexual men and trans women)[3][4][5] as well as sexual offenders including rapists, pedophiles and zoophiles.[6]
Black triangle – people who were deemed asocial elements (asozial) and work-shy (arbeitsscheu), including the following:
Roma and Sinti (Gypsies). They wore the black triangle with a Z notation (for Zigeuner, meaning Gypsy) to the right of the triangle's point.[7] Male Romani were later assigned a brown triangle. Female Romani were still deemed asocials as they were stereotyped as petty criminals (prostitutes, kidnappers and fortune tellers).
Mentally ill and mentally disabled. Their triangles were inscribed with the word Blöd, meaning stupid.[8]
Alcoholics and drug addicts.
Vagrants and beggars.
Pacifists and conscription resisters.
Prostitutes.[9][10]
Lesbians.[11]
Brown triangle – Romani males.
Uninverted red triangle – an enemy POW (Sonderhäftling, meaning special detainee), a spy or traitor (Aktionshäftling, meaning activities detainee), or a military deserter or criminal (Wehrmachtsangehöriger, meaning service member).

They would create different colored stars - inverted triangles over another triangle depending on the need. Red inverted triangle over a yellow one was for a Jewish political prisoner.

There were other markings like letters and bars and other things added to the triangle badges that created a system to distinguish prisoners at a glance.

More tricky language. Its a great point that you brought
up, as the actual factual reason for the few "reported"
antifa arrests is that since Antifa is a political organization
the police and DOJ must be very careful to avoid targeting
them, arrests must be based on crimes committed.
Actual Antifa involvement is obscured due to politics.

Antifascist/communist ... what does it matter? Either way, it's tyranny.

Nothing wrong with being anti fascist, just like there is nothing wrong with being anti communist. The issue isn't anti fascist, it's Antifa using the idea of promoting themselves by the use of their name for a false doctrine of fighting everyday working people by demonizing them as fascists when they are not.

Do you understand? Tell me you understand because if you don't then there can be no discussion.
