1 month agoSwastikas, okay. Happy merchant, sure. But how is Pepe an alt right symbol now? I read half of an article about it which seems to conclude that it depends on the context the meme is being used in. If it’s by a nazi in their username, it’s a nazi symbol, wow. To me this feels like “serial killers often ate bread for breakfast, so all of Germany is now a dogwhistle for serial killers.”
If I had a meaningful sum of money stored there, I would close my bank account with them and specifically give this as a reason (although I’m not sure how much my local branch Volksbanken-Raiffeisenbanken in Germany would even impact RBI)
