The U.S. Coast Guard soon may raise the Nazi Swastika on ships, in a new ruling that the hate symbol offers them utility as a “potentially divisive” tool.
…the Coast Guard will classify the Nazi-era insignia as “potentially divisive” under its new guidelines. The policy, set to take effect Dec. 15, similarly downgrades the classification of nooses and the Confederate flag…
Nazi-era? How ironic to say that while writing about its modern utility.
Clearly divisive because they are hate symbols, enabling these things means the Coast Guard intentionally is creating a clear division between its white nationalists and everyone else.
