Displaying a swastika if used satirically or as part of an anti-Nazi political statement is not against the law.
A decision by the Bundesgerichtshof declares displaying Nazi symbols, including the swastika, as legal, if it is obvious that they are used to distance oneself from Nationalsocialism.
Maybe if you would have asked me I would have explained it to you... maybe. Mine was clearly an anti-Nazi political statement.. "ignorance is unacceptable".
I'll explain it to the person who reported it also. Although the person who reported it is Canadian.

government needs to GTFO (or in this case, stay the fuck out) of our personal lives

Well the point was, as it relates to the topic, is that the use and context of Nazi "things" is important. It is historically relevant, and I don't think it a good idea to hide/outlaw history. .. good or bad

anyone viewing this in germany in breaking the law. it isn't fair to them to have the nazi symbol show up without warning.
Was I supposed to contact the U.N.?

No, collecting anything like this shouldn't be. I don't care if you're a neo-nazi, a KKK member or whatever...you're free to spout whatever bullshit you'd like. Words don't bother me. However, if you threaten me or my family, or start breaking the law...then it's not okay.
That went right over your head....Dilbert_X wrote:

The Swiss accumulated plenty of Nazi memorabilia, why shouldn't I?

That is why many German releases of WW2 themed video games are scrubbed of Nazi symbols.Kmarion wrote:

Nah. Nazi shit is cool.
But when you do stuff like fly Nazi flags like that shitforbrains 13 year old a while ago and got a slap on the wrist for it because he 'thought it was cool', then it obviously isnt good.

Individuals should be able to fly the Confederate Flag wherever they want to, as long as its on their private property.DBBrinson1 wrote:

I don't think so. White washing over the dark parts only makes you forgetful and vulnerable.
I support a state government flying the Confederate Flag if they want to, but it's something that I think should be put to a referendum in the states that are interested in it.
I'm pretty sure a state like South Carolina would probably vote against it, because while a lot of the white people would vote for it, all of the blacks would understandably vote against it. I think you'll find that even most Southern States overall would be against having their governments fly the Confederate flag.
But again, I support individuals flying it under the conditions mentioned above.

The use of Nazi symbols is restricted under German law. They can be used for art and education, but little else.

Despite everything they did, those Nazis had a good sense of style.
"....SS Totenkopfverbände (Death's Head unit). It was the Death's Head unit which eventually made up the guards of all the concentration camps. On their caps, they wore a silver emblem of a skull, the same emblem that was worn by the Waffen-SS. The death's head was supposed to signify that they were loyal to the death, not that they were murderers. The motto of the SS was "Loyalty is my honor."
