An X is kind of a sans serif German swastika

Do people go around looking for Swastikas in stuff? Even if I was a conspiracy theorist, an X is still an X. Especially when it’s not even a symmetrical X, you’re really pulling at strings I think.

With the Slack logo, at least there was something tangible. Here there isn't.
- Is there something tangible? Slack's logo is a symbol that suggests clockwise rotation while the version of the swastika that the Nazis used is a symbol that suggests counterclockwise rotation.
  Especially given that the Nazis appropriated one version of a symbol that had many other versions/uses/meanings in different cultures, do we really need to equate every symbol or logo that has remote similarities to the swastika with Nazism?
- Damn you’re right, never saw it before
It's a shower thought baconator, nothing more serious than that. I think the idea of a shower thought it to pull strings. You know, to avoid pulling something else. :)

Sometimes an X is just an X.

sometimes a shower thought should stay in the shower, but we have this sub. So.
- I think he's just been super into X for decades starting with some /r/Ithinkthisisdeep mathematics symbolism he placed on it way back when he co-founded X.com before it was bought by PayPal. He puts it into literally everything. I don't think there's much more to it than an edgelord trying to brand himself around a cool sounding letter with quasi "I am very smart" mathematical symbolism. Highly doubt the dudes a Nazi. It's genuinely far dumber than that.

Your personal hatred is blinding you, OP.

You're in a showerthoughts sub, Fred. A showerthoughts sub.

Ya'll are positively obsessed with Musk and this drama. It's insane.

That's a reach if I ever seen one

You're going to rip the fabric of space time if you keep stretching this thin

I get the humor in it but this is probably not a road worth going down. Trying to equate the physical letter X with a Swastika feels like folks are really stretching it to the breaking point. Plenty of other things to shit on Musk over than equating an X to some nefarious Nazi conspiracy. That's like straight up right wing Pizzagate territory.

Yeah. His actual support and amplification of literal Nazis is what makes him a Nazi, not whatever additional dog whistles he tries to make happen or stumbles into.

I see a bat, leaning on a log!

This comment section is full of people who can un-Sans their Serif

I think people have forgotten what showerthought means. Not serifs, but sheriffs of bad thinking in the shower.

If something, that's the logo of the X window system

I don't doubt he's a Nazi, but that's still a bit of a stretch

what? all i see is an X? i must be too pure hearted compared to all you deviants.

Yeah, I get more of a cyperpunk dystopia vibe.
