Pretty much everything is hate symbol now.

Someone shared this on my Facebook wall once. It's the ADL (Anti-Defamation League, a Jewish group) list of hate symbols.
I feel I should be very clear that I'm not making light in any sense.
I was blown away by the comprehensiveness. I can't imagine that many or any entries are knee-jerk. Each is probably on there for a reason. But the fact that SO MANY things have been identified just blows my mind.

Boots and Laces
We are all evil... Except for those who walk barefoot xD
But seriously:
100%
Swastika
shitload of old runes
Good that all of those things have additional description. You can turn pretty much everything into hate symbol - all that matters is context.

from ADLorg: "The acronym ACAB stands for "All Cops Are Bastards" and is a slogan of long standing in the skinhead subculture. Because non-racist skinheads may use this acronym as well as racist skinheads, it should be carefully judged in the context in which it appears."
Apparently, ADLorg is fine with the "All Cops Are Bastards" slogan as long as the person is non-racist.
So, if the Aryans have a slogan among themselves LGGIC, "Let's go get ice cream." ADLorg must be careful when noticing that it is hate symbol, because it might not be.

I would say that "All Cops Are Bastards" is hate speech no matter what's the context... I think that they are a little bit too much focused on themselves warning - this post just became hate speech xD

From Sympathy for the Devil by The Rolling Stones: "Just as every cop is a criminal And all the sinners saints."
I do not want to align myself with such a blanket statement at all.
Nevertheless, it is interesting in our culture and society that an artist and songwriter can say such a thing, whereas most other people will be blacklisted/fired/ostracized/charged with "hate speech" for saying such a thing. (No backlash at all, of course, upon your comment.)

Wow, I stopped reading when I saw the triforce is somehow purely a hate symbol on par with nazi swastikas and stuff.

Everything and anything could be made into a hate symbol with enough work, even garlic bread.

If I had managed to walk past this class, I would literally walk in, flip a table and walk out saying "'MURICA~!"
Then I'd burn the class down because wtf... ._.
