Those swastikas are backwards yo. Just sayin. Talk about ******ry though.

i can't see the video at my office. is there something other than a skidmarxxx tag in one of the photos that makes this any more relevant?

excuse me for going out on a limb here, but i bet the swastikas and the skidmarxxx tag were done by different people. i also bet that if the bridge is anything like every other bridge i've ever been over, a LOT of that graffiti old.

i dunno. i'm not worried. although maybe i'm not reading that much into it.

Oh No

Skidmarxxx get a hand

Jonny Pockets

Anybody on this forum a member of Skidmarxxx? I am very curious as to whether or not they are affiliated with this nazi garbage.

Astronomical

For real yo.

goldenskeletons

wait, i'm still confused! was it confirmed that the people who tagged skidmarxxx also tagged the swastikas?

A backwards swastika is actually an Asian happiness symbol. Its much older than Hitler. Hell its older than Germany.

a thread on nazis is the last thing the forums needs at this point

If the ORLY bird weren't banned, I would post it here.

the orly bird is banned
?!?!?!

that aint right

The swastikas in the photo are in the correct direction (spinning backwards).

If they were in the other direction (spinning forward), that would be the Native American symbol for "Four Winds".

and while searching that i found:


Ranting, raving and dramatic arm gestures about the health and ethical implications of meat-eating are merely window-dressing in the great struggle that is National Vegetarianism. But we fight the battle against carnivorism knowing that inside every true-hearted veggie is an herbifascist waiting for a great leader to guide, inspire, and cover their main courses with sauce and honor.

That's why there's Backwards Swastika Brand Vegetarian Barbecue Sauce.

Backwards Swastika Brand Vegetarian Barbecue Sauce will ignite the fires of herbifascism in every vegetarian - and anyone else willing to go along for the ride. The good, meat-shunning folk of the land, having endured embarrassment by the antics of PETA and countless jokes about being pasty-faced, will be at once inspired to rise up. The vegetarian peoples will become a force to be reckoned with for the next thousand years, give or take a few.

Backwards Swastika Brand Vegetarian Barbecue Sauce signals the end of diplomacy and the beginning of a delicious, meat-free offensive. Its genetically perfect, nuanced flavors will take your taste-buds by surprise in a blitz of soy and sesame goodness.

All will look on in awe as you conquer their palates with the message of National Vegetarianism and a delightful blend of malt flour, wheat and salt. The world will be your oyster - which you will immediately put back into its oyster place that it may live out its life fully.

Backwards Swastika Brand Vegetarian Barbecue Sauce is the One Sauce for your barbecue. Any other sauce is inferior and should be subjugated.

The spices, peanut powder and coconut powder in every can of Backwards Swastika Brand Vegetarian Barbecue Sauce create a flavor sensation that is truly mesmerizing. So much so, that I was just following my tastebuds is a viable excuse for anything you might do under its scrumptious influence.

Backwards Swastika Brand Vegetarian Barbecue Sauce can dominate both eastern and western dishes. Preferably not at the same time, as it historically difficult to maintain a two-front tastekrieg.

Backwards Swastika Brand Vegetarian Barbecue Sauce is the final solution for your dinner plans. Retail: $1.85.

Available at select, culturally clueless Asian supermarkets.

And in India, they adorn Taxis and buildings with swastikas---- they are everywhere. I mean real Indians. It is some Hindu thing.

Dude, it dates back to the stone age. Seriously.

Hell, it's probably older than the wheel.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika

"The swastika has an extensive history. The motif seems to have first been used in Neolithic Eurasia. The symbol has an ancient history in Europe, appearing on artifacts from pre-Christian European cultures. In antiquity, the swastika was used extensively by the Indo-Aryans, Hittites, Celts and Greeks, among others. In particular, the swastika is a sacred symbol in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism — religions with over a billion adherents worldwide, making the swastika ubiquitous in both historical and contemporary society. The symbol was introduced to Southeast Asia by Hindu kings and remains an integral part of Balinese Hinduism to this day, and it is a common sight in Indonesia. It also was adopted independently by several Native American cultures."

CORRECTION:

The Swastika IS older than the wheel.

The wheel was invented in the late Neolithic period.

These arguments are absolutely stupid. They're tantamount to people who still say that "******" means "a bundle of sticks," or any other such nonsense.

No person vandalizing a bridge in Texas with a swastika was inspired by a can of vegetarian barbecue sauce.

piwonka

oh don't get me wrong. i still think whoever did the vandalism are idiots...but you know, like, uhhh, i just wanted to show you guys the vegetarian sauce after i found that stuff...

i've seen the "skiddmarxxx" thing spray painted all over the place. it's ********.

Suttree

Is a swastika quad-spoke wheel next? Christmas is around the corner. . .

kemmer

The skid markxxx tag is a bad show even if they didn't do the swastikas.

Suttree

the skidmarxxx tag only makes me think of some adolescents who need to do
laundry
