the Ironic thing about the swastika is that it was originally a buddhist symbol. it can still be seen at buddhist temples in germany where they’ve banned the symbol otherwise.

while Buddhist swastika is still a sign of peace, it is different from the nazi swastika

The Buddhist swastika flows counterclockwise whereas the nazi swastika flows clockwise. basically they face different directions. The swastika in trumps logo would be a nazi swastika, not a Buddhist one.

Halfling Rogue: I thieve the puppies.

Dm: You thieve the puppies?

Halfling: Yes I thieve the puppies

*high roll*

DM: You manage to sneak around the parents and take one of the puppies.

Halfling: I ride my new steed back to the group.

DM: Fine. The parents are becoming even angrier now

Me, Tiefling Warlock: Charisma check to ask the first wolf who’s a good boy.

DM: You do realize these are WOLVES right?????

Me: I ask who’s a good boy

*rolls a nat 20*

DM: The wolf wanders off, pondering whether it is he that is the good boy.

a few thoughts about trump’s failure to mention the jewish people in his statement on holocaust remembrance day:

  • antisemitic hate crimes have gone up from their already high rate since his election, including 48 bomb threats to jewish community centers all over the country in the past month, so this is a particularly urgent time to recognize the ongoing threat of antisemitism. trump declined to do so.
  • compare trump’s words to the empathy and specific details on present-day antisemitism offered by barack obama last year.
  • a ton of trump supporters hate jews. erasing jews from the statement sends the message that trump would rather appease his antisemitic base than reassure jews that he gives a shit about their safety. this is in line with his use of the well-known nazi appeasement slogan “america first” in his campaign and inauguration speech.
  • it obviously would have been hypocritical of trump to pretend any concern for  jews anyway since antisemitic tropes were a hallmark of his campaign––nor could he unhypocritically mention any other groups targeted by the nazis; in addition to jews, nazis also slaughtered romani ppl, lgbt ppl, disabled ppl, and the left, and trump’s hatred and contempt for ethnic minorities, lgbt ppl, disabled ppl, and the left is well-known.
  • this is the same week trump is banning muslim refugees fleeing violence and war, threatening mass deportations, and ordering “the wall.” when nazis came to power in germany many jews tried to leave germany for america but jewish immigration was sharply restricted and most were not allowed in. for trump to acknowledge the suffering of the jewish people in his statement would have sharpened the horrible irony of pretending to promote the idea of “never again” while signing executive orders born of ethnic, racial, and religious animus.
  • so from trump’s pov it’s better to pretend that the holocaust was some vague bad thing that happened long ago rather than a specific and fairly recent atrocity made possible by the interaction of mass hatred and sadism with passivity and callousness, forces which made possible the presidency of donald trump himself

reincepriebus:

On the day that we remember the Holocaust and all of the victims that were denied asylum here in America, Donald Trump did this.
