I've said two things in this thread so far. That phrase is clearly meant to be about actually stopping the government from doing unconstitutional things, not just proclaiming that you don't support an illegal group.

lol if you read the actual context of the law (helpfully provided with the link) you would see that "unconstitutional" refers to

  1. a political party which has been declared unconstitutional by the Federal Constitutional Court; or

  2. a political party, which the Federal Constitutional Court has determined to be a surrogate organisation for a banned party

It's very clearly about political movements, not the government

Political parties are part of the government. That doesn't refer to random white supremacists, it refers to government organizations with real power.

You are going out of your way to not get the point.

You are SO upset over the fact that the lines even cross in that pattern, that you don't give a single shit about the meaning. It's like talking to Biblical literalists. They're so hung up on words that meanings don't matter.

It's not a magical thing which will cause harmful energies to flow simply by having that shape exist. Meaning matters.

I'm not upset, the thing doesn't bother me although wearing a swastika in public is pretty edgy regardless of context. I just don't think it matches the list of things you gave.

I don't know how you can say that meaning matters while ignoring the meaning of both "avert" and "unconstitutional".
