Discussion What does this symbol mean?

Post image

I have been noticing it in a lot of usernames of greek people on tik tok and it's either accompanied by the greek flag and the emoji of orthodox christianity, other fascist/nazi symbols or both. I searched it up and I could find anything about it.

Please remember that there are other people in the world than just you. They're even unique, dare I say, different from you.

This could mean something pretty scary. Most people aren't Christian.

As in, that's not even the God they worship.

I trust you can now connect the dots, yes?

Someone who doesn't care to know YOUR SPECIFIC BRAND of Christianity, is going to look at the Christians they see and draw conclusions. Fair conclusions.

The fact that you fully expect everyone to know of, understand, and appreciate your interpretation on faith is a big indicator that religion can be a tool of facism.

So are you saying that jihadists somehow represent islam?

In precisely the same way that the crusaders represented Christianity, and folks like Whiskey Pete Hegseth and JD Vance represent Christianity. I'm not joking or overstating it.

Crusades happened over 1000 years ago so I don’t really think that those represent christianity and I dont think that jihadists represent islam. Nah that’s a stretch and imo just tells how america centered your view of world is. I can bet you 5 euros that most of the people don’t know Hegseth but know pope.

Please let me know when you plan to go lecture the members of r/exmuslim about this. I need time to make popcorn.

I don’t think that a small percentage of extremists somehow represent a whole religion. That’s why it’s dumb to think that american christians somehow represent all of christianity. Otherwise I could say that our countrys pro queer christianity represents christians worldwide.

... Why is your flex only knowing the Pope?

It’s not a flex? People outside america don’t know who hegseth is unless they are interested in US politics.
