    Hey, German here: in works of arts and satire that are meant to critically examine Nazism instead of glorifying it, swastikas are not forbidden.

    E.g. these are totally legal:

    On the street you may have the occasional right wing police officer who tries to give you a headache for your patch with a swastika being thrown in the bin but they can’t do anything about it besides getting on your nerves.

        I have seen neither of these outside before. Though “Good night White pride” is often seen in the alternative / left (youth) clubs around town.

        Fun fact: The one in the center is pretty similar to the pictogram that is used for communal trash bins (e.g. in parks, public pools, …). The image is often accompanied by the text “halte deine Umwelt sauber” (keep your environment clean). For the sticker / patch they only exchanged the paper with a swastika and kept the rest as it was. Which makes this the most “German” for me.

          I do see the similarities in the middle one. Probably a good idea because it is recognizable enough already.

          I like the top middle because mohawk hair. I like the bottom middle because as a person from the US, I’ve known far too many white pride dillholes, so I love seeing them get stomped.
