Roe v Wade was overturned under Biden, correct? And Kamala Harris campaigned on being the “most pro-Israel president” did she not?

  • random thing i wanted to add but to be fair i thought i first saw the totenkopf in trailers for inglorious bastards but that came out in 2009 and the are we the baddies thing was something like 2007

    Also i think characterizing it as a skull and crossbones is different than saying a swastika is a hooked cross because it like, literally is a skull and crossbones? Just with very specific crossbones placement, fractures in the skull, etc. tbh the totenkopf looks kinda cartoonish. but i guess the pirate stuff also has ‘pirate elements’ i.e. the eyepatch, while also somehow seeming less cartoonish

      Yes a Totenkopf is literally a skull and crossbones, as a swastika is literally a hooked cross or to be more accurate the Hakenkreuz(what the Nazi’s used) is literally a Swastika(which is originally a Sanskrit term for the symbol) the hakenkreuz being a swastika at a specific angle and with straight edges

      Both cases are the same: Skull & Crossbones and Swastikas are categories of symbols, the totenkopf and hakenkreuz are specific and unique versions of the more general category of symbol

      But regardless that’s all semantics, my main point here being if you paying more attention than a just passing glace then it is easy imo to identify the totenkopf as being different from pirate jolly rogers even if both are literally skull and crossbones, as is it also easy to determine than a hakenkreuz(at least in official NSDAP usage) is not the same what’s used in Hindu and Buddhist religious symbols even though they are literally the same shape
