What do you think this flag means if they put it over a 'hate fascism" sticker?

[u/confusionista → u/3vr1m]

But nice that they didn't even manage to cover the message of the sticker underneath

[u/[deleted] → u/confusionista]

The master race at work.

[u/Super-Cynical → u/[deleted]]

They wanted to show who they were opposing in the sticker war

Gentleman People

[u/Shiros_Tamagotchi → u/confusionista]

Makes the message of the sticker below even stronger

[u/xixbia → u/3vr1m]

It's also clearly a mockery of the LGBTQ flag.

It's pretty obvious what it's about.

[u/OracleofTampico → u/xixbia]

I am as leftist as they come, I have been to Germany several times but not since 2013. I, with 100% honesty want you to know, i had no idea...

I imagined it could have been a pc gaming thing or a Soccer team insignia. But neither felt right.

The fact that it was over a anti-fascist sticker that i do recognize kept me intrigued but also didnt think much of it because lots of streets in Germany are covered with them.

SO i really did not know until they answered.

P-people who just play the kaisserreich mod for HOI4 for a fun historical what if right?

Right?

There are dozens of us!

[u/TimePressure → u/Theresafoxinmygarden]

I know that you are joking, but just to spread awareness: the "Reichskriegsflagge" is frequently used by Nazis.

[u/Theresafoxinmygarden → u/TimePressure]

Oh yes well aware. Such a shame, I think it's honestly a kinda cool looking flag too, shame people have to ruin it with stupid ideological beliefs

[u/TimePressure → u/Theresafoxinmygarden]

Well yeah, it looks cool, but once you think about it, it never stood for anything but an imperialistic and nationalistic ideology.
It's the war flag of imperialist WWI Germany, after all. Flying that flag would have been not okay before Nazis started doing it.

[u/Theresafoxinmygarden → u/TimePressure]

Also true.

[u/Name_Taken_Official → u/xixbia]

Should they just assume they are correct or should they ask

[u/PeaceDeathc → u/3vr1m]

It tells a lot about AfD

[u/Fearless_Entry_2626 → u/PeaceDeathc]

They're not exactly subtle...

[u/noteasily0ffended → u/3vr1m]

Maybe they can't read English.

[u/[deleted] → u/noteasily0ffended]

That’s a good point, I can’t read English either 

[u/Veboy → u/3vr1m]

lmao for real man.

I don't think (or at least don't like to think) the op has ulterior motives, but how naive do you have to be to ask such a question.

[u/NotThreeFoxes → u/Veboy]

I mean guessing the general vibe doesent mean you instantly understand what exactly something stands for, they probably just wanted to know specifics about It

[u/nirghtrogr → u/Veboy]

it’s almost as if thats why people ask questions. so they can have CLARIFICATION of something they’re unsure of. like do you only have 2 nueronal connections in the critical thought center? here’s the golden rule: just because YOU know what something is doesn’t mean EVERYONE else does.

[u/Botanical_Director → u/3vr1m]

To me it looks like Gay-German

Maybe with a Bear or BDSM twist

[u/ArnoldBlackenharrowr → u/3vr1m]

Sometimes, questions are the best answers

[u/liquidflows21 → u/3vr1m]

The stupidest thing ever is telling the world you are fascist like it is a thing to be proud of

[u/Zephoix → u/3vr1m]

Less of a hate fascism sticker and more of a “commit arson and hit random people with bike locks” sticker.

[u/Analternate1234 → u/Zephoix]

How so?

[u/NaivePretender → u/3vr1m]

What do you think this flag means if they put it over a 'hate fascism" sticker?

When your side is called fascist regardless of what you do, then a sticker saying "hate fascism" is just saying "hate afd".

[u/Machovec → u/3vr1m]

I'd just like to point out that the sticker underneath is the symbol of an anarchocommunist terrorist group, which is something everyone should despise just as much as fascism, despite how much they try to paint themselves as moral and just by fighting "fascism." In reality, they fight whatever and whoever they feel like and call it "fighting fascism" to justify their actions. This is politically motivated violence which is the definition of terrorism.

[u/Toa_Senit → u/Machovec]

Which group? There are a lot of different antifa groups. There are at least 47 in Germany alone. So which one are you talking about? Hm?

[u/JaskaBLR → u/3vr1m]

Idk, I think Antifa is the kind of guys to name everything they don't like fascism. So it doesn't really matters anyway.

[u/MartinBP → u/3vr1m]

Tbf that's not really a "hate fascism" sticker, it's a "red fascism" sticker.

[u/3vr1m → u/MartinBP]

Oh great I was waiting of one of you guys to show up
