    Eagles were a symbol of the Roman Empire and every would-be successor. Mussolini’s entire deal boiled down to restoring Rome. Pigs in particular like to jerk off about how many different police forces they had, and the invention of law and order and such.

    His lower paunch is Thor’s hammer, not Celtic. Even besides the Nazi love of Germanic mythology, modern neopagan Asartu is riddled with fascists, like the maggoty corpse of a dead religion it is.

    You take either of these things in a vacuum and it’s probably fine. You put it all together and the portrait is far different.

      I fucking hate how the far right is co-opting germanic and nordic mythological symbolism. They have some cool as shit imagery and now you look like a nazi if you display it.

      I kinda hate how even today, German heraldry uses the eagle. I get that it descends from the “Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation” and doesn’t strictly have anything to do with the fash, but I can’t look at it and not see all the things that were done under that sign. Not to mention that Rome itself wasn’t a squeaky clean bastion of morality and democracy either.
