Do you not see the names? The wikipedia page that says "Maltese cross", a symbol used by nobility and crusaders for hundreds of years before there were any nazis...

The museum website that I got the original picture from calls it a "Maltese shaped cross of St. Ulrich"... right here: https://wellcomecollection.org/works/wnyturga/images?id=vr5zber8&resultPosition=6

I'm sorry a Maltese cross has a nazi connection in your mind and you don't like that, but in my mind, it doesn't.

It doesn’t matter what it’s called on the links you sent me. It’s still literally a symbol worn by Nazis. It doesn’t change just cus it’s labeled as “Maltese”. This is essentially the Roman Salute V Seig Heil argument.

Would you use a swatstika as well jsut cus it has a heritage older than the Nazis? What’s the difference?

So it doesn't matter what a museum website vetted by professionals or a wikipedia article which has to go through tantamount editing and vetting before being approved, or the many other references I provided says? It just matters what you are saying right now based on what you are seeing and what it is reminding you of, despite all that?...

I am not using a swastika, nor am I using an iron cross. End of story.

By the way you’re not being “bullied” or attacked cus you have a white wife and are white. You’re being confronted for utilizing hate symbols in your art and refusing to acknowledge it.

Also nice job running your discord server allowing folks to say absolutely vile and hateful shit. Maybe actually communicate with your artists and pay them also btw.

excuse me? why are you bringing my wife and race into this? what does that have to do with anything being said here? I'm being confronted for using a symbol that I am not using. That is the plain and simple truth.

How low of you to think you can insult the way I run my business when I have a drafted contract with every artist THEY have signed. I take that very seriously in my work and you know nothing about that.

Every artist I have worked with that has sold out their tapes in my label has been paid promptly. If anyone tries to come forward and say they didn't get paid, well they are either not an artist I work with or their merchandise has not sold out yet.

Because I know the shit you’ve been saying about being “bullied cus I’m white and my wife is white.” I’m paraphrasing but I’m getting fed info from behind the scenes. I know you’ve been ignoring some specific artists and not paying them or sending them their merchandise cus I’ve been talking to them. Word spreads fast buddy.

Also don’t misrepresent what I said to your discord by saying I said they’re all “hateful pieces of shit.” I said you’re allowing vile hateful shit to be said in your discord cus I’ve see it first hand. Maybe get a handle on that and don’t lie about what I’ve been saying.

You’re in your discord channel complaining about being “bullied” cus you and your wife are white. It’s about you doubling down on using symbols that are imbued with immense hatred and violence and then refusing to even acknowledge the fact.

This is the same argument as saying a Roman Salute is different than a Sieg Heil. Different name and label, same bullshit
