It's a fucking "T", a letter. "Oh, but the letter "T" in runic script is popularly associated with white supremacists!". Then dis-associate it and make your associations based on its actual history instead of Nazi romanticism and mysticism.
They don't own your heritage. Fuck the MSM, Bjorn. Scandinavians have a great history and heritage. Wear that shit proudly. Those sweaters are fucking awesome.
The MSM is attacking your heritage by associating it with something that is verboten, causing you to not be proud of who you are.
Guilt by association is a powerful shaming tool, and it doesn't need to be accurate to be effective. What I hate is that it can be the mental associations of the
ignorant and uneducated who get to dictate what - for example these athletes - should or shouldn't wear. To be fair, though, this is not a (big) problem in Denmark (yet?). There is political correctness, but we are not Sweden, and I even suspect that most Norwegians would think this is blowing things out of proportion. But obviously the people who want to read shit that isn't there into respect for one's history, don't need to be a majority to paint ridiculous things like sweaters with a "T" rune as "signifying Nazi ideology". Because that's the limit of their understanding.
I'm just now reading the comments to a Norwegian article on the story and the three highest rated comments read:
"Take the symbols or they will win" and "It is a bad decision to grant neo-Nazis ownership of parts of our cultural heritage. Down in Europe, (if) they use Norwegian flags, the royal lion (of the royal seal), and viking ships as symbols, do we surrender those, too?" *
Looks promising, tbh.
