Conservative/libertarian site Pajamas Media finally makes the connection we’ve all been waiting for: Don’t those hashtags look an awful lot like swastikas?
Don’t these people see an echo of the swastika in their new power symbol? Don’t they realize that the early Nazi Party was (among other things, obviously) also overtly anti-capitalist?…Don’t they know that the early Nazis tried to garner sympathy with street rallies and marches?
One month in, conservatives still have no idea how to respond to Occupy Wall Street and it is freaking them the fuck out.
Agreed, a twisted analogy and if you have to use ‘nazi’ anything to demonize an opponent, you’ve already lost the argument.
On the other hand, one month in and I have yet to see anything but filthy parks
“Occupy Portland” Nazi Occupation”…I see what they’re trying to do there! Wow. That’s so…deep.
I hate it when the far right hire lit major drop-outs to do their semiotics for them, it’s not only insulting, it just plain muddies the cultural touchstones.
As if Occupy Wall Street was the first organization to use hash tags. As if the right-wing never used them. Yeah, gimme a break.
