Saw a guy with some shit on his forearm the other day, wondering the chances of him being a fan of a really shitty vegan painter.

Less often than you'd think. Also, there's lots of symbols that like vaguely rune-like, but actually aren't, like celtic symbols and such. They might just be Irish.

Also, a lot of the Nazi runes aren't real runes, they invented a bunch of runes in the 1930's. Genuine Nordic runes might not have that same Nazi association.

Any resources if made up Nazi runes and how to spot them? I know different Nazi logos well enough to spot them - saw a guy at a local gun shop with those three intertwined triangles on his hand that were very distinct from similar Celtic symbols.

A pretty good indicator is if they also wear things like kilts or are big participants in Nordic Festivals. Some of the most 'gender-fluidity and pansexuality are a part of our heritage' people are Midwest Nordic enjoyers.
