Scared traitor piggy
Reminds me of the time somebody in r/nursing asked if they would run into any problems having tattoos. Most places don't care too much these days and especially since they wanted to work psych which is pretty in-demand but I commented that if they're gang related or look similar to gang related symbols there could be trouble because there's a lot of crossover between the psych and corrections patient populations.
They told me "oh they're just some norse runes." Bruh. I thought you were gonna tell me it was a butterfly on your wrist or something you gotta be kidding me. They stopped responding before telling me which runes specifically but if an internet stranger clocked them from a few message board responses maybe they rethought some things.
I just really like Thor. It’s totally a coincidence that this looks like nazi shit.
Ok, legit though, a friend of mine started going bald in his mid 20’s. Tried growing his hair out but was eventually convinced that shaving his head was a better look.
Then he started to really get into Melodic & Power Metal and similar sounding music.
Then Amon Amarth. Which lead him to Norse mythology. So he gets a Mjolnir necklace. And he likes leather jackets.
Perfectly innocent!
And he visits some friends in Germany. Coincidentally there is an anti-nazi protest going on. This huge German dude takes one look at the pasty-white, skinhead, Norse symbol, leather jacket friend of mine and gets RIGHT UP I HIS FACE. Very intent on kicking his ass until the people he is visiting defuse the situation.
I think it’s a funny story, at least.
P.S. Fuck Nazis. 🖕
Fuck them for coopting fun symbols and ruining shit for everyone.
I just want to put this out here because it happened to me. I've had a deep interest in Norse mythology since I was a child and have several tattoos featuring runes and Norse mythological imagery. I knew that Othala was a common white supremacist symbol as well as things like the sonnerad, triskele, and valknut so I avoided them.
However, my most visible piece is a raven skull with 3 runes running down the middle. 2 of them are apparently associated with Nazi shit. Thankfully they're obscure enough that normal people don't assume I'm a white supremacist, but it's dog-whistley enough that I've had Nazis assume I was also a Nazi and try to strike up conversations with me.
For anyone considering getting runes, be very careful with which ones you select and how you present them. Here's a decent list of Norse symbols that have been associated with white supremacist movements
Adding more:
Also the full star of chaos sometimes gets you an anarchist, sometimes a Nazi, and most likely a warhammer player. It’s a weird symbol
Norse runes rule.
They don't belong to nazis, and everybody saying otherwise is an ally of the nazis and an enemy of the people.
Norse runes rule.
I once walked into a gas station (a local one, hooray) and the guy behind the counter had a giant swastika tattoo on his arm.
Considering the sort of management that would allow such a person to work there, I avoided that station from then on.
This tat is an artistic representation of "scratch a cop and a fascist bleeds".
Never forget what really started the Ferguson riots. After a peaceful candlelight vigil, Ferguson police let a K-9 piss on the memorial to Michael Brown then ran over it with their police cars
For real? God damn.

The overseer rode around the plantation
The officer is off, patrollin' all the nation
The overseer could stop you, "What you're doing?"
The officer will pull you over just when he's pursuing
The overseer had the right to get ill
And if you fought back, the overseer had the right to kill
The officer has the right to arrest
And if you fight back they put a hole in your chest
Some of those that work forces
Are the same that burn crosses
Ah, remember when the right got all up in arms that RATM was suddenly political when they dared speak out against... checks notes right-wing authoritarianism?
Love me some KRS One.
White supremacism in, white supremacism out.
Hi racist!
A racist cop. But I repeat myself.
hey! not all racists are cops
Got a warning for a tail light being out about 15 miles from Ferguson last month. The douche had a similar tattoo to the first one. Instead of Monster can logo it was a sweet tribal design with parts of the Confederate flag mixed in. Stay classy St Charles Police department
When you roll around in pig shit then take a pig shit bath to clean it off
Its absolutely awful, but I do like how they utilized the blue in the flag for the stripe. Very symbolically fitting, in a way.
Kind of worse now.
Like I'm sorry, I simply cannot get over this.. It's like you farted, but instead of refusing to own up to it, you just shit your pants and blame the smell on that.... Somehow thinking that that's better than having been found out as the one who farted..
Hi, my name was John Dumb. I didn't like my name anymore, so I changed it to Robert Dumb.
This reminds me the Hungarian "moderate conservative" who left behind Hitler's Mein Kampf for Evola's Rebellion Against the Modern World.
