    That’s not the sig rune.

    I hate ICE as much as anyone here, let’s be accurate.

      What else is it? It’s common to use a symbol that’s close enough either because the actual symbol is out right illegal or to have some plausible deniability

        Thunder bolts of various designs are pretty common military symbolism, even in the US.

        The version they used is readily available in unicode fonts ⚡︎

        So is a closer equivalent to sig rune ϟ

        So to your point, they may have chosen the close enough symbol.

        My point is, their actions are plenty to judge them as the militarized police of an authoritarian administration. We don’t need to grasp at straws to prove this.

      why are you pretending like that matters?
      do you think nazis care about being perfectly historically accurate?
      it’s not nazi cosplay, it’s neonazi dog whistles…
