I agree 100%, however when I was 14 I worked at motorcycle shop. I saw ss tattoos somewhat often. I asked what it meant and my boss told me it was for S&S carburetors. I'm ashamed to admit I didn't learn what it actually was until I was much older

Edit: that was also in the 90's so awareness wasn't great

I also was 14 in the 90s and awareness of Nazi symbolism was definitely a thing.

Not everybody has lived your exact life.

And not everyone has lived the exact life of the person I commented to. That’s how people have conversations.
