And what is achieved ?
Asking a private company to reconsider their position on selling the iconography of genocidal regimes isn't censorship. If Wal-Mart decides to stop carrying it, that won't be censorship either.
??? Humor doesnt need to achieve anything, it can just be funny without being deeper than that man
what is achieved by banning it
Who the fuck rated this disagr- oh.

I just realized this is literally the exact same thing as Japanese and Indian people wearing the Nazi swastika as fashion statements without any real awareness of the horror that symbol represents to some. The Soviet Union was much the same to many other countries and cultures. In the US it's just a fashion fad.
BTW, just in case anyone means to point out that the original swastika (oriented opposite to the Nazi one) is a religious symbol in India, I already know. But there's still a weird fascination there with Hitler among people who really don't know any better.
Same thing by Germany banning the swastika.
Fuck all?
There's a great deal of debate about that. Wouldn't bet on it.
After all, the term 'Aryan' was derived from the sanskrit word ārya - a term ancient Vedic Hindus who migrated to the Indian subcontinent in 1500 BC used to refer to themselves. It was also the term used by another related culture at around the same time - Persia. With so much influence from south Asia, there's no guarantee the swastika itself was derived from Scandinavia.
I fucking had enough. Not gonna call out certain people but here's the story. It all started as innocent pictures of topless online character with a purpose of just testing and doing stuff that only a small amount of people do not just on pc, and just to try out (yes i admit i kinda overdone it). Now some genius decided to whine and harass me just because i do those pictures, and still doesn't want to accept the fact that other people do that because they like to do. That genius is saying that i'm a virgin that never met a girl and trying to satisfy my sexual needs by doing this. Why would i be that stupid to do that. So yea, if this offends you, it looks like i'm not welcome in this crew because i'm a "virgin that "faps" to virtual girls", gonna take some short vacation from FAPS

You just got a rating from a literally who, guess the reinforcements got called in.
I by no means endorse communism or consider it a way to improve society, but I'm pretty sure this applies here.

Unrelated, but has anyone taken a more recent picture of this? I feel like it would’ve been done, but I’ve never seen it.

This looks more recent, but the name has changed and it may not even be the same place. Thailand has a shitload of these weird Hitler references too, like an advert for laxatives with Hitler shouting "RELEASE THE DEMON!"
