Comment on Email came out of nowhere
squaresinger@lemmy.world 3 days agoI’m gonna need some proof of this. I wonder why a German, designing a sign for the German members of the SS in 1929 (10 years before Germany invaded Poland), would choose a sign with the purpose of harming a Polish feminist/pro-abortion movement.
It makes no sense and I can’t find any sources saying anything like that at all.
So cough up some sources. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

Article is in Polish, but I thing google translate or DeepL should work for you to get the gist. They picked this symbol as “lightning”

One lightning bolt by itself is a very different meaning to 2 right next to each other.
Especially so when next to a Black Sun

The black sun alone is a Nazi symbol. Invented by Heinrich Himmler himself and used as decoration for their SS Ordernsburg.

Yeah, but also the red lightning bolt sign of the polish pro-abortion movement was introduced in 2016. The SS sign with the sigrune was introduced in 1929.
If nazis had time travel, how did they manage to screw their war effort up so badly? They must have been even worse tacticians than we thought!

On that I cannot disagree. All I wanted to defend was a singular lightning bolt.

Yeah, that article is about how the media deliberately misinterpreted the symbol as being nazi-like after the feminist movement picked it after the war and after the Nazis used their famous double lightning insignia.
This sort of contradicts your first comment … If I’m being kind I think you were just being inarticulate.

Dude, you got the timeline completely wrong: obieg.pl/…/210-the-red-lightning-of-all-poland-wo…
The red lightning sign as part of the polish pro-abortion movement came into existence in 2016! A whopping 87 years AFTER the Nazis created the SS sign.
