Sounds like a good time to make insignias of swastikas hanging from nooses.
US Coast Guard is now classified as a terrorist organization.
Next step, put it on their flags?
They can reclassify all they like, people still know when they see someone wearing one of those symbols, they're looking at a POS.
The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.
Ohhh, boy, this is going to go over well with the Jewish and black servicemen and women, won't it?
I’m sure that’s part of the intentions so they can fill the ranks with white incels
ding ding ding
How long before they're flown on said US Coast Guard ships
So, this naturally raises the question... if those things are taken off of the list of hate symbols, then what's left on the list of hate symbols?
I tried to find the answer by looking at the article, but all it has is this Excerpt from February 2023 U.S. Coast Guard policy document,
The following is a non-exhaustive list of symbols whose display, presentation, creation, or depiction would constitute a potential hate incident: a noose, a swastika, supremacist symbols, Confederate symbols or flags, and anti-Semitic symbols. The display of these types of symbols constitutes a potential hate incident because hatebased groups have co-opted or adopted them as symbols of supremacy, racial or religious intolerance, or other bias.
So, if that's non-exhaustive, there might be others, but surely, they'd list the worst symbols as examples. So, basically, there's nothing left that is identified as a hate symbol.
I personally find it interesting that they didn't do this in stages to hide their intent. Like, first remove the Confederate flag, and later remove the Nazi swastika. They did them both together at the same time, which I think shows that they do actually understand that the Confederate flag has the same basic meaning as the Nazi swastika today.
They will be adding trans and pride flags in their place, maybe a Palestinian flag for good measure.
Well I still hate them.
Sounds like it's time for the targets of these symbols to quit the armed forces.
Overall, the researchers found that Grokipedia includes 12,522 citations to online sources that previous academic research has deemed as having very low credibility. And they found that Grokipedia cites those domains three times as often as Wikipedia.
Unlike Wikipedia, Grokipedia centralizes its editing process. Users can submit suggested edits to Grokipedia, but instead of assigning a group of volunteer community editors to decide on the edits, xAI, Musk’s artificial intelligence company, controls whether or not a certain edit is approved and implemented on the website. The process of review is not entirely transparent, but the company has suggested that Grok, an artificial intelligence chatbot, plays a part in reviewing edit submissions. When a user submits an edit, it is approved or denied with “Grok Feedback.”
