    I don’t believe in these sweeping absolutes. Context and motive are important parts of any equation of what’s “acceptable”.

      @Humana
      I think the only system to believe in here is sensitivity to feelings and histories of others. If you don’t mind triggering literally millions of people whose families were hurt by soviets, it is your choice.
      And wouldn’t you be against public display of swastikas if they are displayed by “neopagans” and supposedly symbolize Sun?

        Do you ban them from museums? Textbooks? Documentaries? No because they are in an appropriate context. I would never wear or display a swastika and I feel disgusted to see one displayed by anyone with pride. Context and motive matter…
