I think the trick is to use more rounded and curved shapes instead of hard angles

for example, I wouldn't tend to think "fascism" when looking at a traditional triskele

but contrast that with the nazi versions of the triskele: (CW for nazi hate symbols)

actually that 2nd one is pretty similar to the shoe logo, hmmm

I wouldn't have mentioned Ukraine if it was just green, it's the combination of yellow-on-military green that I found very reminiscent of that shirt Zelensky is always wearing. maybe a stretch but I feel like whoever designed this was inspired by Ukrainian military wear, intentionally or not. & I wouldn't say everything from Ukraine is fascist but their military has certainly aligned itself with neo-nazis

it was really the symbol that felt fashy to me more than anything though. hard geometric lines and rotational symmetry will always make me think of nazi symbols. like "copy my homework but don't make it too obvious" but with a swastika

gamecube logo is innocent (though, Nintendo is not)

and yeah this isn't an actual fascist symbol, it's just giving that vibe

granted my only exposure to this clown is via the Hasan and Sam Seder "debates" but I genuinely can not understand how this guy has fans. did he used to be a completely different person or something?

chuds mispronouncing Iran is so funny because it's not even consistent. they call the country "EYE RAN" but then they call Iranians "uh-rain-ians". mfer you just changed both syllables and it's still wrong

well you wouldn't want to burn your tongue on a hot pair of dice, now would you?

most of them have, for example, never actually met a transgender person, and most likely never will

they very well may have, but that person is in the closet because it's unsafe to be openly trans, especially in very conservative places

came here to say this, pretty much exactly what OP is asking for. it's a product that's been on the market unchanged since 1991 because it's industry standard

the only drawback is that the cord is not detachable, and there is only a coiled option. some people even make detachable cable mods and sell them. I don't know why Sony doesn't do this themselves, or at least offer a straight cable version

hmm is that a video game reference? well you should know that all gaming is illegal in the CSR, so enjoy your stay at Alcatraz

this has to be a prank right? I find it hard to imagine anyone putting this on their own car, even as a bit. the S being a dollar sign (in comic sans no less) is actually pretty funny
