In the Western world, it was a symbol of auspiciousness and good luck until the 1930s, when it became a feature of Nazi symbolism as an emblem of Aryan identity and, as a result, was stigmatized by its association with racism and antisemitism.

Angola_Merkel said:Im struggling to remember when it was up to other people to decide what I find funny. Yes, some neo-nazi bois may use it but they also ride the bus, so should we not get busses too? If we let neo-nazis chose what we can and can't do, based purely on the fact that stamp their name on something, then aren't we just giving them the power they want? I find the image and its surrounding community amusing, in the same way that I find crazy left-wing communities funny
DarkLight said:I was in a party the other day and I came in wearin a Real Madrids jersey, loads of my friends are Real Madrid fans and they love the club. I was approached by a cute girl wich looked at my shirt with a smile and said;
-"Oh DL! Thats a cool jersey! I am Madrid fan too!"
So I hit the hoe in the face and screamed at her;
-"How can you imply that I am Real Madrid supporter! I hate the club and everything that represents! I am just wearing the t-shirt because of the aesthetics, obviously! I wont let Real Madrid fans decide if I can wear their jersey or not!"

This analogy would make sense if we were talking about an actual neo-nazi/alt-right symbol, but we aren't.
Angola_Merkel said:Can we clarify things here please bois. No one is denying that some neo-nazis use clown world memes. No one is denying that clown world has some neo-nazi connotations. The choice of avatars by myself and Mandingo are not from neo-nazi positions, but from one of enjoying the visual imagery combined with funny political debate that takes place between the left and right on various platforms. When M first asked about the Honk Honklers, he was given an answer, however from there different community members have tried to take the argument in all sorts of directions. I personally was not surprised that questions were asked about my avatar, but was not worried because I knew that I could explain my choice. Unfortunately, some people are incapable of understanding that explanation, perhaps for those people a slight amendment to DarkLight's analogy may be useful.
Angola Merkel wears a Real Madrid jersey, some guy on the street approaches Angola Merkel:
-"Ah mate, do you support Real or som'thin'?"
-"No not really, I don't watch much football but I just like the way the shirt makes my nipples look."
-"Ah thank god, I'm a Barca boi me, no worries bud, have a good one."
In this situation, the man has accepted Angola's response because no one knows what Angola is thinking, other than Angola.
Therefore I would suggest that people think a bit more carefully about the accusations they couch at certain avatar choices, given that they clearly have no insight into the thought processes behind the choosing of the avatars. The more that people insist that we are things that we KNOW we are not, the stupider they seem.

OurGloriousLeader said:Your explanations are utterly mundane, it's just that it leads to you looking like an idiot. "Yeah, I knew this stuff was connected to bad stuff, but I don't believe in it so when I put it up everywhere, even though I know that will cause assumptions, I'm beyond any connection." It's just a modern version of:
And of course, as a completely separate issue, not connected at all, you also have sympathies with the views that the clown world people espouse. But no that's not WHY you're displaying it - 'tis just a coincidence!
