5. I hate how those groups have taken our symbols and twisted them

I had several people in college ask me about those ties when they would find runes or other Norse designs in my notebooks and doodles. It normally took only a minute or two to explain it to them and all was well. I didn't think much of having to do that, it was Standard Operating Procedure (SOP), but I realized how important it is to tell my curious friends when I saw two classmates telling off (berating, verbally assualting...) a few dumb racist kids passing through our building that they did not appreciate their use of runes and symbols with their hateful message.


Hopefully one day there won't be a need to explain it to people.
