Hell if you want to go for something ancient there some pretty awesome bronze age symbols, how about something Etruscan, or perhaps something kinda forgotten like the Neo-Hittites. I'm saying this as a fucking Neo-Pagan who fused ancestor worship with Odin worship, those symbols are just too fucking volatile most of the time unless you use them as a base to work off of and be transformed into something not immediately recognizable.
I hate this. I'm of Scandinavian heritage and so basically I just don't get to celebrate, explore or display any history or culture. Because some terminally online person will accuse me of being a secret nazi.
Well, unless you’re doing it to cover up a Nazi tattoo I think you’ll be okay. I’m just saying if I were Platner I would have gone with Mickey Mouse or something.
ah yes, a character created by the famous anti-communist, anti-Semite Walt Disney. Good choice.
Oh I feel ya on that one, mixed Germanic-Celtic for me kinda a mess if I'm being honest, but it's kinda frustrating. Though let's give credit where credit is due folks looking for dog whistle symbols isn't new nor is it necessarily called for, Nazis will happily use a tri-knot as much as a black sun if they feel the black sun is too common. Mind you that is partly because Nazis are at their core delusional trolls but still it isn't an unfounded thing. While I haven't done it personally I've seen some folks combine such ancient symbols with more modern progressive symbols, for example I doubt the dude a sticker that says Iz Wodanaz Weraz next to a Woody Guthrie next to it on the back of their car is gonna be a fascist unless they are very very confused.
