Hi, my name was John Dumb. I didn't like my name anymore, so I changed it to Robert Dumb.
Reminds me of the time somebody in r/nursing asked if they would run into any problems having tattoos. Most places don't care too much these days and especially since they wanted to work psych which is pretty in-demand but I commented that if they're gang related or look similar to gang related symbols there could be trouble because there's a lot of crossover between the psych and corrections patient populations.
They told me "oh they're just some norse runes." Bruh. I thought you were gonna tell me it was a butterfly on your wrist or something you gotta be kidding me. They stopped responding before telling me which runes specifically but if an internet stranger clocked them from a few message board responses maybe they rethought some things.
I once walked into a gas station (a local one, hooray) and the guy behind the counter had a giant swastika tattoo on his arm.
Considering the sort of management that would allow such a person to work there, I avoided that station from then on.
I hate how these bastards ruined Norse art and mythology imagery
It's the beginning of a maze!
I just really like Thor. It’s totally a coincidence that this looks like nazi shit.
I just want to put this out here because it happened to me. I've had a deep interest in Norse mythology since I was a child and have several tattoos featuring runes and Norse mythological imagery. I knew that Othala was a common white supremacist symbol as well as things like the sonnerad, triskele, and valknut so I avoided them.
However, my most visible piece is a raven skull with 3 runes running down the middle. 2 of them are apparently associated with Nazi shit. Thankfully they're obscure enough that normal people don't assume I'm a white supremacist, but it's dog-whistley enough that I've had Nazis assume I was also a Nazi and try to strike up conversations with me.
For anyone considering getting runes, be very careful with which ones you select and how you present them. Here's a decent list of Norse symbols that have been associated with white supremacist movements
Adding more:
88!? Dafuq, that's my favorite number! 😭
It's dumb numerology shit. Obviously Nazis can't go around saying "Heil Hitler" since they will immediately be clocked as a Nazi, and H.H. is pretty obvious what they are alluding to. So they post "88" since H is the 8th letter of the alphabet. You'll often see it coupled with "14" which represents the 14 words "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children"
It's also why they think that everything is a bad code that they can descramble. They have these super obvious codes to signal to others and assume every other group has a code that's just as poorly disguised. That's how we ended up with shit like Pizzagate. If you order certain pizzas that unlocks the secret basement with the kids! It's also why a lot of them think there's a super secret cabal running everything.

Ok, legit though, a friend of mine started going bald in his mid 20’s. Tried growing his hair out but was eventually convinced that shaving his head was a better look.
Then he started to really get into Melodic & Power Metal and similar sounding music.
Then Amon Amarth. Which lead him to Norse mythology. So he gets a Mjolnir necklace. And he likes leather jackets.
Perfectly innocent!
And he visits some friends in Germany. Coincidentally there is an anti-nazi protest going on. This huge German dude takes one look at the pasty-white, skinhead, Norse symbol, leather jacket friend of mine and gets RIGHT UP I HIS FACE. Very intent on kicking his ass until the people he is visiting defuse the situation.
I think it’s a funny story, at least.
P.S. Fuck Nazis. 🖕
So norse runes are nazi symbols now?
Can we make a list of symbols that aren't associated with nazis? How much of the Latin alphabet can we keep?
The Nazis were super into Norse runes. Hitler legitimately thought that they held magical powers.
I'd say I'm surprised you didn't know that, but honestly, I'm not because there's a lot of those kinds of things that they don't mention when teaching about WW2. Plenty of skinhead dog whistles that I didn't learn about until later on.
Nazis have borrowed Norse symbology since like the beginning of Nazis. Their most recognizable symbol is also borrowed from other cultures.
Unlike the swastika, Norse symbols aren't so strongly associated with Nazis that they're now completely unacceptable, so some Nazis use them as a way to broadcast their interests while keeping some plausibly deniable "I just think they're neat" shit.
Don't forget they also called themselves Aryan despite the Aryans being from central/south Asia. They're generally considered to be Indo-Iranian based on where they ended up and where they started. But it flows off the tongue better to put the former first.
