| Comment | The problem is that the swastika isn't just the symbol for Nazis. It's been used as a symbol for thousands of years for an abundance of religious and cultural reasons and still exists today mainly as a spiritual symbol in the east. There are even spiritual groups in Germany using the swastika, right now, today.
It's only been a symbol of hate for the past 80 odd years, and only really in the west.
I'm going to bet that the guy in the gym has had it done because he thinks he's being edgy and new age. If you were to ask him about it you'll probably get a load of: "Actually, this is not a nazi symbol, It's a tetraskelion and is a symbol of peace and I had it inked as part of my spiritual enlightenment while on the path of getting woke bla bla bla". If that's true, then there's nothing to be done about it.
Even if that's wrong and the guy is a full on white pride Aryan, there's still actually nothing that can be done about it. Sorry to put it like this, but this is not Nazi Germany. There's nothing illegal about being a Nazi or having a Nazi tattoo. He is allowed to be a racist. |
