All you can say is "your biased contrasting" - exactly what, in my points 1 and 2, are wrong? To clarify: Which wing slopes down? I don't think this does your point any favors. Objectively, each of these individual parts are equally distinct. I would have to say that in this microcosm both the USMC and the Trump logo are equally close / far away from the Nazi iconography. If you can't see that maybe you need to step back a little. Which end of a line is the closest to the middle, the top or the bottom? The problem is the OVERALL composition, not individual components. While one thing being close is coincidence, several is unintentional plagiarism at best. Again, I don't think Trump is deliberately sending out smoke signals to fascists and white supremacists. I do think it's probably a tasteless accident which a less morally bankrupt campaign would have stepped back from as soon as it became evident. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't mistake me - you're in the wrong here. The overall composition is unmistakably similar to that of the Third Reich. Anyone who says otherwise is deluded. The individual elements share similarities with a multitude of national, political and warrior symbols but put all together they look like a nazi standard. I was simply pointing out that the way olof was making his argument wasn't the best way to make the point, in my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's Trump Defensiveness Syndrome, the slightest perceived criticism about their Dear Leader and they jump to the defence of a man who neither knows who they are or cares about them.

Aaaand you still haven't answered my question. I did acknowledge the Nazi wing was straight, but overall I think most people would find more similarity between them rather than the USMC one which slopes down. Are you willing to put money on that? Then you have no rebuttal on the closeups of the bottom bit which shows that the tail is only visible on the USMC one. Anything to add on that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

While one thing being close is coincidence, several is unintentional plagiarism at best. You think it's overall composition, I think there are 2 specific elements. Coreece has no argument for either. You've actually been clearer in one post than he(she?) has in half a dozen. I'll summarise how the argument has gone so far: Coreece: posts link to eagle logos implying that USMC logo is also similar and there's nothing Nazi-like about the Trump one Me: I lay out 2 points: the wing position sloping down vs up/level for Nazi and Trump eagles, and the visibility of the tail/position of the circle Coreece: you're wrong Me: why? please be specific Coreece: your biased contrasting Me: posts closeups of wing, which one slopes down? Coreece: lol, they're all different, do you support Trump now? Me: you didn't answer my question Coreece: ok I'll ask again, why are you posting photos of the wings? Me: SLOWLY explains the same thing I said in (2) Coreece: No the Nazi wings are level Me: So are you willing to put money on which two people will find more similar? Coreece: just pointing out how dumb it is, and how dumb you sound repeating it ad nauseam. Why are you wasting time on this? Me: you were the one who kept asking so I had to repeat it I laid out just 2(!) points, and several posts later only one is being argued after me having to repeat several times.

You attack his enemies, and anyone who criticizes him you label as a Trump-hating extreme left liberal. And everyone here sees it. You can say "oh, I don't like Trump that much" but again, people see what you do, not what you claim. That poster, BTW, was a poster of Castro intentionally altered to use the same style as an Obama poster and then used for a different purpose, in this case to attack Obama to try to create a comparison between the two. Are you saying that a Nazi logo was intentionally altered and used by Trump for his own purposes? No. I'm saying that the correlation between them is ridiculous, and unintentional. It is on par and similar to the altered posters, and for the same reasons. It's just your side doing it this time, so there is no outrage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

" In its over 200 years of existence, the Marine Corps has used several different emblems and official insignia, yet no design has had greater staying power than the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor (EGA). Eagles and anchors have been used in Marine Corps insignia since the turn of the nineteenth century." Funny how people will weasel and spin to protect Trump. Its even funnier to watch as you guys pat yourselves on the backs and congratulate each other, for what? Deliberately making a false comparison and convincing yourself that it is true?

Thanks for that - The amount that the wings slope up (Blue) and the amount that they slope down (Gold) are almost identical, compared to the exact horizontal black eagle.
