Corollary: If you call medival scholars or nerds Nazis for using runes in whatever arbitrary context, you're a fucking idiot.

So once again the racist, white supremacists are out and following me, trying to subvert folklore and all that goes with it for their own twisted narrative. Because you love runes so much, here is a handy dandy chart for you #FolkloreAgainstFascism

Recollections of a German paper posting pictures from a Polish reenactment fair selling "Nazi symbols" (jewellery with runic emblems) at a "Nazi gathering". Simultaneously, in Germany, 10000s of Neo-Nazis held a Nazi concert w/armed police protection.

German media loves to do this to literally every other European country, especially Poland & Hungary, while in Germany: - Neo-Nazis are present in local governments across Germany - They almost had a fascist military coup recently - Bullshit like this concert is openly tolerated

All of this is probably a result of the massive narcissistic shame complex in German culture. Why such a complex? Schools teach modern Germans that they are somehow complicit in ancestral crimes. When people can't process shame, they turn to denial, projection and reenactment.

It is absurd and abusive to "hold people to account" for crimes committed by their great grandparents. There may be inequities in the present that need to be redressed, but that is never the younger generations' fault Germans who are/were not Nazis are not complicit in Nazism.
