In just about every context. The average person has no damn idea what it is, and probably thinks it's some Spiderman type of emblem before ever guessing it was loosely affiliated with the Third Reich. You'd actually struggle to find pictures from that era displaying the sonnenrad. But hey, a prominent National Socialist symbol.Unfortunately, when you pick and stick an icon that was a personal favorite of Heinrich Himmler and the SS, that's bound to happen.
In what context and to whom is the Sonnenrad "obscure"?

It has always been IMO an ode to the 3% in the revolutionary war, and a promise that they would do the same if need be. Never have I ever taken it to mean they hate black people. Guess this is the age we live init’s not. Based on my research there’s nothing racist about the group. It’s just super anti government. And members have used violence. Again just based on my research. SPLC is ready to label anyone and everyone racists and as far as I can see they haven’t labeled this one racist

Lol "personal favorite". And? So was Richard Wagner.
Maybe it's just that I'm pro gun myself, but I do not give a **** about the tattoo.
Love to know who the media **** was that b#tched about his tats...bet if his tats said refugees welcome or my body my choice or occupy wall street not ONE member of the media would question him
While I am not a gun owner nor have I ever had the slightest desire to fire one, I agree completely.
ETA - From his POV, if the III imagery meant something to him at the time and he thinks that the group has moved in a direction he no longer allies with, he can do as he said in the tweet, get it covered. He's a grown ass man and can and should make the decision based on his personal introspection.
I'm in the same boat re: guns. Never been in the presence of one, cops notwithstanding. I'm pretty far left politically, too. I just think some people need guns.
A guy who was eventually deemed a traitor once painted the symbol on the floor. Ok.So its sounds like you're safe to get that one. I agree that the average person doesn't know a lot about history, so you could tell em it is just that, a Spiderman emblem.
Ole Heinrich put it at the center of the of SS's main meeting place, which they considered literally the center of their ideology....typically not someplace you would put your tenth favorite symbol.

That's the lone instance of it being used from that era. I'm going to stick with, yes, it's an obscure "Nazi symbol".
