I am not saying i want to don a nazi cosplay, and i did express that in reality this is complicated.
Its more the principle of “i cannot do this” even if i have non offensive intentions, because if i do people will associate it with the bad intentions.
To me this leaves a dirty feeling of them having a super minor grip over creative choices.
Admittedly a lot of this is coming from a core memory of mine where a very young and innocent artistic child had to come to terms that i am not allowed to draw the momentum of windmills.
I love geometry a lot more then i like uniforms, but the same philosophical pattern applies.
That's a lot of words to say you care more about "aesthetic" than you do about the people around you feeling safe.
I do not.
A vast misinterpretation on your terms. I am sorry to say.
I can asure you my genuine outfit is as neutral and boring as it gets. Neither did i obtain a career where i can make geometric art for public display.
If you read my words a bit better you may realize i am expressing the concept and a power struggle, rather then actual action.
From my point of view you are, without intending to do so ,empowering and legitimizing a oppressive ideology.
A lot of words for nazi fetish.
You appear very butthurt that I suggest defiling nazi symbolism and appropriating the tools they are using to express their ideology.
At this point people who claim to not understand what i said are unwilling to actually read or no longer acting in good faith.
If that is not the case then please reflect that as a antifascist i have no reason to start a fight with you.
Leftist fighting only serves the right.
That essay shows your the butt hurt one. You wanna "take back nazi symbolism" is just an excuse to play contrarian. This is a childish thought not really well thought out.
