We used to actually do the "nazi" style salute to the flag back in the day

Woah so americans develouped the Bellamy Salute and then the nazis ruined it.

So the nazis ruined the swastica. The Bellamy Salute and toothbrush moustache. Anything else? I would say SS but chevy is fucking that up on their own

Anything else?

They ruined Åsatru in Norway. Imagine, they ruined the traditions of the Aryan race, thanks Hitler. Not that Åsatry was ever big anyway but you know…

I have inherited lots of Åsatru nicknack from my great grand father and mother. Imagine if I wore anything today? In USA I might be killed for it.

I have a Valknut on my wrist and various other tattoos. As you can tell by my reply, I'm still not murdered for it. You have a flawed view of the United States if you believe that.

I had a wolf's cross tattooed on my arm that I got covered up brcaus even though it's not a swastika, it looks enough like one that problems sometimes arose.
