Stop letting Nazis have shit. When they claim something, the proper response is to say “nah” and keep doing the thing—but more loudly and joyously than before.

This is—incidentally—why I’ve started wearing a hammer.

Don’t. Let. Them. Have. Shit.

Not Nordic imagery.
Not medieval iconography.
Not Pagan mysticism.
Not Christianity.
Not Classicism.
Not “the west.”
Not the Renaissance.
Not the SCA.
Not HEMA.
Not Nietzsche.
Not Tradition.

Nazis don’t get anything. By dearth of wanting it, they should be denied it.

All of it.

Let’s make birth control pills with Molon Labe on them. Take that fucking shit from them too.

We cede territory too readily, friends. I’ll taste six feet of dirt before they can have my sword, my Tolkien, my hammer, or any sort of goddamn heritage.

No you eugenics-worshiping human tar-pit, you can’t have any of that shit. It’s mine. It’s humanity’s. Diverse & lovely.

Not LARP.
Not folk-metal.
Not tabletop gaming.
Not console or PC games.
Not history.
Not high art.
Not even fucking Wagner.

Nazi dipshits get nothing. Push them out of your space and retain ownership of your symbolism. That shit is YOURS. They can only take it if you let them.

Small qualifier: when fighting to retain ownership of symbols and spaces the Nazis are trying to claim, your display and occupation of those spaces and use of those symbols MUST be combined with explicit, visible anti-fascist, anti-nazi, anti-racist sentiments and expressions.

Owning something, making it stand for something good, means making that good visible, explicit, and unambiguous. Otherwise nobody will know the difference, and you're just making people uncomfortable, and still ceding ground.

Go forth and serve others.
