I hate that I keep having to whip out this column, but two years ago I explained this exact path with PewDiePie and his fans either said I was an idiot or guilty of "slippery slope" thinking. But the path is the path.https://birthmoviesdeath.com/2017/02/23/p.c.-culture-vs.-the-big-joke …

It is also shocking how many headlines ARE NOT INCLUDING THE IRON CROSS. THAT ISN'T EVEN A DOG WHISTLE.

For f-sake y'all, the debate over whether it is or isn't an Iron Cross is part of the intentional muddying of this kind of crap, all built to further make such behavior allowable. It's the same exact thing as when people go "oh the nazi symbol originally meant..." WE KNOW.

But when you also know what the Nazi symbol / Iron Cross mean in the modern world, AND you wear it while you're taking away your donation to the ADL, well, come the hell on folks. Just come the hell on.

hey hulk, always 100% support you on this, but I am from Georgia and I gotta say the cross is genuinely a relic from our ancient national symbolics (FAR predating nazi germany) that was injected back into the mainstream by one of our more successful fashion designers (1/3)

To be clear, people have tweeted these exact facts at me about 100 times today. You are literally the first to not use them as a staunch defense of PDP and say that this is the problem with "the left." This gets at the obvious problem...

Whatever nuance always gets swallowed up by two automatic facts 1) most people know what an iron cross looks like 2) wearing it in THAT context, has a context, and it rarely happens by accident. Everything else makes it noisier.

for sure it’s a bad look, no doubt. just worse when here the bolnisi cross is worn by damn near every orthodox christian around their necks and pdp roping it into fascism symbology discussions is.. just sad. I get an extra sad topping out of this mess, is what I’m saying. ugh
