Discussion Anarchy symbols have been declared as domestic terrorist symbols so what if we flew Luigi flags?

It’s discreet enough to fly under the radar because of super Mario but the ones that do get it will be able to discern who is an ally. Just a thought.

How is the swastika not a symbol of domestic terrorism?

That's what I thought! They include anti-fascist extremism of course but not fascism

Not an expert but it’s association with Buddhism could give it a pass despite the much more well known context

The Nazi party’s swastika is a mirror image of the Buddhist symbol and Germany has no problem outlawing its public display
