How the hell does this look like a swastika?

An SS Officer, notice that there's no armband on the coat

We don't see the comparison

Roger Waters (Powerword: George Roger Waters) is the second, and best, leader of Pink Floyd who took his place as the front man for the group after Syd Barrett suicidally poured a half-liter of liquid LSD into his bathwater and decided it'd be fun to see what it would be like to deep fry his brain, or at least that's what the Urban legends say.

He is best known by Trendy Fuckers like you for songs like Another Brick In The Wall Part 2, (more popularly known by you as We Don't Need No Education because you can't be bothered with learning a song's real name and only download what's currently popular. Plus, your Hipster ass knows nothing about the albums and could care less that Another Brick In The Wall has 3 parts.) We'll take a wild guess and bet that Comfortably Numb, Money and Brain Damage/Eclipse are on your playlist and really the only Floyd songs that you know.

Then there's the songs you've never heard because they're not as popular and your trendy group doesn't talk about them. Unlike the previously mentioned songs - these don't make it to the trending lists or have been recently used in a movie or TV show and for all your fussing and Bitching about the mega-corporate-overlords using Delta Waves and hypnotic suggestion to control your brains you'll let corporate America pick your music for you. This means you've never heard Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Welcome To The Machine and Pigs (Three Different Ones) despite calling yourself a "hardcore" Floyd Fan. Even more, the more obscure and early works are completely lost on you. If we were to start talking about Floyd's more "obscure" works such as One Of These Days or Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun , we may as well be trying to explain the singularity of a Black Hole as you polish your drool cups.

Recently Roger Waters has caused mega-Butthurt with Berlin and Israel over his 2023 concert tour This Is Not A Drill because they're saying that his hammer logo (which he's been "only" using for only 40+ years) is now, all of a sudden, offensive and looks like a Swastika.

More so, Jewish groups who want the world to forget about the 13 million people that died along with the 6 million Jews in the Holocaust so they can make the Holocaust their own, took offense to Waters using Anne Frank's name, most likely because it preceded Shireen Abu Akleh, a veteran Palestinian-American journalist who was killed May 2023 by Israeli soldiers during a shootout with Palestinian militants.

Berlin City officials have said that Roger Waters is one of the biggest Anti-Semites in the world.

The Cause Of The Butthurt

	“	We're gonna find out where you fans really stand Are there any queers in the theater tonight? Get 'em up against the wall ('gainst the wall) Now there's one in the spotlight, he don't look right to me Get him up against the wall ('gainst the-) And that one looks Jewish and that one's a coon Who let all this riffraff into the room? There's one smokin' a joint and another with spots If I had my way, I'd have all of you shot	„
	—Roger Waters, In The Flesh

The big problem at hand is that assholes are reading too much into the second half of the album The Wall.

Waters was famous for hating his fans in the 1970s and 1980s - even rightfully spitting on a piece of trash fan in 1977 when the fan crawled up on the stage while Waters was trying to play the Acoustic song, Pigs On The Wing. Waters saw (sees) them as brainless, rotting zombies that would jump when he said to "jump" and wanted to build a wall between him and them, where he played and the fans did whatever it is that they do. He saw the fans and himself as completely different entities. Him being the leader and the fans as an unruly mob, whom if they were given direction, could be lead around like they were on a leash. Really no different than you. SIT BOY!!

What the second half of Pink Floyd's The Wall actually is, is a fantasy where he creates a fascist world by using his fans' fanaticism to turn his character of Pink into a demagogue, while he turns them into his goon squad, (or the same racist, sub-groups that you aspire to join but have been kicked out of for muddy, crack smoking genes that Ancestry tests show you as a mutt equivalent to a dog from the pound.) Groups like Hitler's Brown Shirts, Mussolini's Black Shirts or many of the unnamed Islamic morality police forces that are running free and pushing their sense of justice on people can be led by one charismatic person and in the second half of The Wall. Waters created this person. We're gonna find out where you fans really stand - Waters, In The Flesh.

What Israel and Jewish speakers find offensive is that they are being included in this metaphor of Waters naming Fascist countries. Just as Anne Frank died by Nazi hands, Shireen Abu Akleh, a veteran Palestinian-American journalist died by Israeli soldiers in May of 2023. Israel doesn't like the closeness of Anne Frank and Shireen because it gives a soul to others and Names to people Israel has killed, because Israel's hard-line military stance of shooting up Palestinian housing districts until there's nothing but gravel might not be the right stance to take.

Like everyone that dares to question Israel's politics, no matter how obscene they may be, no argument is made back in opposition and they simply play the "Anti-Semite" card while shitting themselves, looking for the first person to sue and crying that 6 million of them died but never saying anything about the other 13 million deaths, since their goal is to make the Holocaust their own and get the world to forget about all the others that died- because it's advantageous to them as a group. Accidentally bomb a Palestinian school?; cry how 6 million Jews died in the Holocaust! Shoot a group of children throwing rocks at Israeli Soldiers; Just use the "But 6 million Jews died in the Holocaust" card again!

Israel, Jewish Scholars and Rabbis actually think that there is some imaginary law that keeps what they believe or declare as being Anti-Semitic; As such they will automatically get acts of censorship carried out because they're tearing their shirts and crying over all the dead.

Current German laws says "Swastikas and other banned symbols can, however, be displayed in Germany if they are used for "civic education, countering anti-constitutional activities, art and science, research and education, the coverage of historic and current events, or similar purposes."

Now, if you're dumb enough to believe that Roger Waters' Hammer Logo looks like a Swastika and his costume an SS uniform, (and what the Hell are we saying, you probably are). Well then, you need a dictionary to look up the tough words that are being used in this article like Jew.

Again, if you do believe that Roger's stage props and costume look a little too Nazi, you also have to accept that he is using them to educate his audience about current/modern-day fascist states.

The Conspiracy Goes Deeper

This might take a little thinking on your part, don't hurt yourself.

First it's a bit suspicious that there was no protesting of the filming, showing and live concerts of Roger Waters The Wall in 2014. Why, all of a sudden, 9 years later do the stage-props and costumes become so obscene that they'll make shit come out of your eyes in such large clumps that the show can't be looked upon?

One theory points the finger at the Joos because he refuses to take their Jew Gold and play in Tel-Aviv while asking other musical groups to do the same and boycott Israel. (He has the money, he can pass up on jobs. You have to love those rich Socialists. Like Waters said in Money, "Keep your hands off my stack.")

This current stand of leading musicians boycotting Israel brings unwanted attention on Israel's shitty treatment of occupied Palestinian Territories - an amended truth from Palestine for people that have the willingness to believe it because they refuse to not believe Israel's amended truth.

Because he chose to not play ball with the Cumstain on the middle of your your back that's Israel and chooses to side with the asshole leakage, Middle Eastern Territory of Palestine, to get back at him picking the wrong side, Israel keeps throwing the word Anti-Semite at him until it sticks, pushing a media sensation (as it is doing now) where everyone has climbed on the bandwagon of screaming and shouting that Roger Waters is an Anti-Semite (because that's what social media platforms like Twatter are telling them to do.) Think Roger Waters' demagogue Pink, from The Wall and him turning his fans into a goon squad but in reverse.

A Second theory revolves around him condemning Joe Biden for the war in The Ukraine because of his refusal to negotiate and being a confused, dottering old fuck that wouldn't know where he was at any given period of time if he didn't have an assistant correcting him every 3 seconds with an electric shock and an update.

The Smear Campaign

Like most everything, all you have to do is sneeze wrong and if the Choo of your Achoo sounds a little to much like Jew, you will be hung out to dry as an Anti-Semite. Waters has said that his costume and stage props was a statement against fascism, injustice and bigotry while the negative criticism being used against him had the smell of a Junior High School Girl hate fest of the week and was "disingenuous and politically motivated."

Only Trump could describe this current event best. What Roger Waters is suffering through is Fake News because this whole event was started near the top with people like America's own Ambassador Deborah E. Lipstadt of the US Office of the Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Antisemitism using her office's Twitter account to retweet a European official and demand bloody justice for these imagined offenses adding credence to these Anti-Semitic claims.

Israel's Foreign Minister had no important duties on that day either saying, "Good morning to every one but Roger Waters who spent the evening in Berlin (Yes Berlin) desecrating the memory of Anne Frank and the six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust."

It's a good thing that Russia isn't attacking anyone at this time, or that there aren't any wars going on because we, the citizens, might actually get worried that our politicians have so much free time on their hands that they can play on Twitter all day.

And The PC Babies Cry Themselves Another Victory

Because world governments have nothing better to do than critique music and Bitch about how an Artist's Composition is being displayed rather than do their appointed/elected jobs and run a country, we can see why the state of affairs in the world is so shitty. "OH sorry. We can't work on Global Warming today because we got a pic of King Charles in a Banana Hammock and we have to see that everyone gets it."

As a result of all the negative publicity and Anti-Semitism accusations that have come along with the Berlin leg of his This Is Not A Drill tour, Roger Waters has dropped the "Fascist" Hammer Costume from the show because of the controversy of wearing it, the police investigation it stirred up with Berlin and the constant whining of the ADL.

Crying harder than PC babies at a God Hates Fags Rally, Jewish groups were able to make Roger Waters leave the Long Leather Hammer coat off to keep them from crying again and causing another shit filled diaper incident where they'll take their shit filled diapers off and throw them at Waters on stage.

Roger's words were poetic as always, "If you’re one of those ‘I love Pink Floyd but I can’t stand Roger’s politics’ people, you might do well to fuck off to the bar."
