Everyone has been highlighting the guy in the Camp Auschwitz hoodie, but it needs to be pointed out that this guy’s torso is a greatest hits display of “Norse” white supremacist iconography. Straight up Nazis. https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/qanon-shaman-maga-capitol-riot-rune-pagan-imagery-tattoo-1111344/amp/
Is the 'QAnon Shaman' From the MAGA Capitol Riot Covered in Neo-Nazi Imagery?

Runes and other Pagan symbols aren't inherently racist — but they've long been coopted by white supremacists.

I understand how some people are touchy about this, but my point of posting the article was to make sure that ppl realize exactly how much white nationalist iconography was on display. It sucks that nazis appropriate Norse symbols. But even so, nazis must be outed.
The ADL index of these appropriated repeatedly includes disclaimer that benefit of the doubt needs to be given due to actual Norse and pagan use of the symbols (as does the RS piece). Qanon shaman has forfeited his benefit of the doubt privileges, imo https://www.adl.org/hate-symbols?keys=norse
