In this day in age, wearing a swastika brings along with it certain connotations. And I'm not even saying he should or shouldn't. But if you choose to do it, then expect backlash.
Nevermind, I misread. I took it as he was wearing the first image shown, not the skull one. Although my point still sort of stands.

It's not a swastika though, it's a skull and a palm tree.

But, that's not what happened.

If you’ll reread my OP, you’ll see that his patch omitted the swastika and instead had the SS version of the Totenkopf. Virtually everyone knows swastikas are bad. But you have to either be a Nazi or a WWII buff to know the Nazis also used a bastardized version of the Totenkopf skull & crossbones as well.

No it doesn't. Totenkopf imagery dates back to the 18th Century and Frederick the Great, at least.
Pussies who are offended by NOT swastikas can frick right off.

He took two separate Nazi images and combined them.
He didn't take just any skull and crossbones. He took a Nazi image of skull and crossbones.
He didn't take any just image of a palm tree. He took a Nazi image of a palm tree.
It seems improbable that he would not know the source of the images considering that both images are specifically Nazi images.
I'm not saying he's a Nazi, and I'm not saying he supports any Nazi ideology.
I am saying that he knew what he was doing when he combined two specifically Nazi images.

Unless you’re Ukrainian fighting Russia. We’ve just looked the other way on that one because there’s money to be laundered.
