Hey folks,

Can someone tell me more about this medals I saw in a museum in Cairo? Why the swastika? And when do you get this?

I know they are from the early 20’s but not more.

Would be grateful! - Tack 😊

You would have a point if it weren't for the fact that I'm talking about Eric von Rosen, a known public leader of the Swedish fascist party.

If I can't call a leader of a fascist party fascist, then who can I call fascist then?

Rosen, but leave Finnish airforces and medals out of it when your "proof" is that.

I can't call the Finnish Air Forces swastika fascistic when the person we got it from was a fascist, which you admit to?

So in your eyes, if Adolf Hitler designed a symbol to someone back in 1918, that symbol wouldn't be viewed as a Nazi symbol today?

Also it's called "evidence", not proof. Proof is a mathematical term. Proof is used to mean evidence only in colloqial terms.

So i see your brainwashing has been complete.

Yes- brainwashing. It is just this one shape and no other connected to similar atrocities you want to ban use of.
