There's been some pretty horrific acts carried out by people flying a Union Jack. Is that an appropriate symbol to be on our flag?

So it's high time then we ditched our Colonial enslavement moniker in favor of adopting the Aboriginal flag as our true mark of independence & identity.

I can just see that one going down swimmingly with the establishment & the RWNJ's

Aboriginals never had a flag until the 70's ?, thats a white man thing.

I notice that they’ve removed it from the ad now.
Probably because a few viewers complained.

The unfortunate thing is it has been removed quietly without any public conversation about it in the MSM. Therefore an opportunity for public education about this symbol has been missed.

Wow.

We better get rid of the Union Jack then!

No one has presented a cogent argument to explain why we shouldn't.
Didn't they squeeze a Dutch flag in there? Which was a flag inside a flag (inside a flag)?

Truly, that was Apartheid's greatest crime.

Notice how the dangers and failures of communism/socialism are just about never talked about at schools or Universities ? strange given there is so much focus on colonial imperialism, male patriarchy and the oppression of black people and Muslim women.
I take it you’ve not studied modern European history at any third level institution within the last decade?

Regarding the OP I think much of it is down to World War 2- the Soviets were allies of the Western powers, the Nazis weren’t. Then of course there’s the fact that the gulag system was largely dismantled during the Khrushchev era. There were no Belsen style newsreels of the gulag’s horrors, and the sheer isolation of the largest camps makes them a logistical nightmare for tourists, where Auschwitz is located an hour or so from one of Europe’s most popular tourist destinations, Krakow.

Good points.

The other key difference the Nazis had over all others is they were deliberate and efficient at a scale never before seen. They effectively killed over 10 million (Jews, Poles, others), through deliberate genocide, in the space of 4 years from 1941-1945. That's seven thousand people per day.

Stalin, Mao, etc were all brutal, but their death toll was partially achieved through sheer incompetence. The Nazis set out to kill millions of people for no other purpose but to kill them and achieved it.

Most of the NAZI victims were in fact Russians.....The real reason for the creation of the NAZI war machine was to try & destroy, or at least weaken Russia.....Communism was their number one avowed enemy, not Jews.....In spite of all the bullshit Western propaganda to the contrary, ever since the end of WW11.

Another 're-editing' of history.

The NAZI war-machine was built financed & created by the banking houses of Wall Street & Europe....The current day U.S war-machine is prefaced upon the exact same principles....and yet....No one seems to notice, because our MSM has done a supreme job, of hoodwinking the masses.

why does your anti Semitic Holocaust denialism survive on this forum?

There are at least 2 other regular posters who deny the Holocaust.

No one is denying that both of the 2 World wars were human Holocausts.....Like to try again.

If people wish to characterize WW11 specifically as a Holocaust then try the Russians Holocaust, for they lost more than twice as many people than any other race or country....Like I said....Lets not allow facts to get in the way of propaganda bullshize.

There's a thread on the conspiracy board to do with all things & claims re the 'Jewish Holocaust'.....Might I suggest you take it there.

This has nothing whatsoever to do with the Hammer & Sickle....Which became the representation for the direct enemy of the Swastika.

Hitler & his gang of Nazi's blamed the Commies for the burning down of the Reichstag....Which was used as the false-flag pretext for the Nazi's to then up the ante.

Can you answer my question, do you believe in the Jewish Holocaust? yes or no will do.
