Neo-Nazi Symbolism

edit

Why do I see this used all the time as a Neo-Nazi symbol? What is the source of its use as such? If this symbol has a main page that I simply didn't encounter, please link me to it.Edit: I am aware if its use as a Third Position symbol; I want to know how it came to be associated with that.-— Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.211.82.5 (talk) 23:37, 14 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

When a Neo-Nazi group forms in Germany, they usually take some pagan symbol. The German establishment is strongly anti-pagan, so they use such events to ban pagan symbols.
This is a Celtic Cross. It may or may not have pagan origins, but it's actually associated with the rise of Christianity in Ireland and Britain. But the Germans can't be bothered with the details. It looks pagan, therefore Neo-Nazis will use it, therefore it must be banned.  Randall Bart   Talk  21:03, 7 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
