Current Events > Anyone know what this (possible hate) symbol is?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I'm talking about that circle that looks like an infinity symbol with a 1 through it.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/7/726e3906.jpg

I've been trying to get a vendor removed from servicing my store. The dude is always saying low key racist shit. I've done as much as I can to make him coming here miserable but it's obvious that annoying me with his shitty world view brings him happiness.

He noticed my wife had a Human Rights Campaign sticker on her car. The next day he came in with some new stickers on his truck and told me to send my wife a picture of them.

I guess him talking about my wife was for whatever reason enough to finally trigger an "investigation" into his bullshit and they asked me to document his behavior and get proof of anything I can.

It's looking like the nail in the coffin is going to be the "World Peace" sticker, which for anyone unaware, is code for "white power". I've been having a hard time convincing the powers that be that the Palestinian/Confederate flag combo is nothing more than antisemitism and that "White Trucks Matter" isn't a light hearted joke about his truck being white.

He's always had the "Scott Pilgrim..." sticker but it's eyerolling incel shit that no one would pay any thought to.

I can't find anything about that circle sticker though. For all I know it's harmless nerd shit, but given the way this dude is, I wouldn't be surprised if it's more hate code.

Possible origin of that sticker ^. Look at the intro
I have no idea what this show is about. Just found it rn

Oh it's sam hyde related

I'm guessing it's a WWG1WGA variant (QAnon).

As someone that's only seen Scott Pilgrim once, can you explain that one?

Looks like it's a shitty meme from a shitty song and it's impossible to tell if people involved or sharing it are ironically or unironically women haters.

This guy sounds like an utter douche and I wouldn't be surprised if his next sticker is Trump 2024.

I got nothing. I'm certainly suspicious of it though.

The Confederate Palestinian flag confuses me.

Not sure, maybe try a reverse image search on it?

This truck has such a confusing message

Good pull. Not explicitly hate, but Hyde is a shitheel, so no surprises.

so it's a logo from that nazi adult swim tv show

Looks like a troll. The confederate flag should be enough to get him removed in any sane world. The scott pilgrim thing's overtly sexist too.

Its not about supporting Palestine. It's about hating Jews. Simple as that.

This seems to be the link. I don't know much about Sam Hyde but I know enough to know he's a huge POS and possible KKK supporter. And if the subtitle to the show was "World Peace", I'm guessing it's once again code for "white power".

Definitely won't be easy convincing anyone that it's a hate symbol but in conjunction with everything else, maybe.

take a picture of his truck send it to his employer and tell them about his racist shit he says to you

My gut is they view the southern states as occupied land as oppressed as the Palestinians. They have no sympathy for Palestinians, just want to turn everything into "but what about me"

Holy Hanna, Alberta that person is a haircut away from putting missing person posters on the truck, too.

They are bad news and should not be servicing the business. Huge yikes.

so it looks like it's the logo for this show.

and the show looks like a sort-of coded racism type deal where you have characters named moon man and shit like that. it definitely fits in with the rest of his stickers.

Mood Dissonance: The original logo was one and infinity overlaid in a circle. This symbol was taken from the notebook of Aurora theatre shooter James Holmes, and represents his belief that he could increase his own "human capital" by killing others, and here it's frequently displayed dead centre of the words "World Peace". Every instance of this symbol in the show was covered up in post by Adult Swim, usually with an opaque peace sign.Every instance of this symbol in the show was covered up in post by Adult Swim, usually with an opaque peace sign.

I would guess that they support the more anti-semetic side of Palestine AKA Hamas. They don't like brown people, but they like Jews even less.

Yeah, seems like the symbol itself is not explicitly bigoted but its use case here explicitly is.

I'm not defending people with shitty world views but trying to cancel people is also a shitty thing.

wtf @ that Scott Pilgrim sticker lol. What did they think it did to women? >_>

Knives > Ramona > Kim btw

If bigots feel that comfortable being so openly bigoted, that's a shitty thing.

I work with minorities. If I can keep people who wish they didn't exist out of my store, I'll do as much as I can to do so.

Don't want to lose your job for being racist? Don't plaster code for "white power" on your work truck.

I have many customers that say racist things, sing songs loudly when near someone talking on their phone while ogling women disgustingly but I still take the high road and remain kind to them. That's why it's called the high road. Be who you want others to be, don't be how others are.

be complacent, basically.

not viewing that as the high road at all. all you're doing is laying down.

Please tell us how you confront everyone you see not acting how you think they should act. Please.

please continue to tell us how you smile at people who are treating others like shit, right in front of you.

that's the person you want to be?

Thank you! I've been looking all day for a textbook definition of the word 'sanctimonious.'

No, I'm kind to the shitty person and the people around them they are being shitty to. Kindness to all and maybe the unkind will get the hint.

Or maybe the "unkind" will feel comfortable enough to escalate their behavior and the next thing you know, one of the people whose bullshit you smiled at and patted yourself on the back for ignoring kills someone in front of you. You are making the world a worse place. You are a bad person.

I see that you're completely ignorant of the Paradox of Tolerance.

"The paradox of tolerance states that if a society's practice of tolerance is inclusive of the intolerant, intolerance will ultimately dominate, eliminating the tolerant and the practice of tolerance with them."

Sam Hyde is an absolute piece of shit who fosters the shit you see in his comment sections.

It COULD'VE been a sticker for some TV show, but I'll bet good money he doesn't have a Simpsons sticker, too.

so like i said, you're complacent, and you've somehow convinced yourself that laying down is taking the high road.

this is a very poor way to deal with this issue. be a leader. be assertive. be direct.

How's Jordan Peterson these days?

hpow many posts until everyone not hiveminding gets called a boot licker/some other insult then put on ignore immediately? get that dopamine fix!

Pretty sure if you got the asshat cancelled, TC, hell simply get bailed out by the conservative griftosphere and hailed as a martyr to the cause, just sayin.

I dont agree with it either, but theyve been doing that a lot lately since they know it gets them a lot of money from their target audience, as unfortunate as it is.

What is the non-hivemind position on racism?

Is it 'nuanced' by any chance?

TC, I feel for you. If I hear I hear of any strategies I will pass it on.

This guy works for one of the companies supplying your store? Try to schedule him before the store opens.

I'm doing what I can at the moment. I've raised concerns about him in the past but there is very much a "burden of proof" response. I can't myself make the call to keep him from servicing this location.

When I brought up the new truck decals is when I got some hope. They told me to take pictures of them and they'll investigate. Unfortunately I just know this asshole is going to play ignorant and say he thought "World Peace" meant literal world peace and that the Palestinian flag was just in support of Palestine and nothing more.

We'll see.

That truck needs fewer bumper stickers and more fire.
