French ‘Anti-Hate’ Site Lists Mainstream Catholic Symbols Alongside Nazi Devices
Breitbart ^ | 1/5/23 | Chris Tomlinson

A French “anti-hate” website claiming to catalogue far-right symbols has listed several mainstream Roman Catholic symbols, including crosses and the Sacred Heart of Jesus, alongside well-known Nazi devices.

The French “anti-hate” website Indextreme claims that it is looking to “observe, catalogue and publicize the graphic symbols used by the far right in France,” and places various mainstream Roman Catholic symbols alongside those of Nazism and other far-right ideologies.

The project, which was created by graphic designer Geoffrey Dorne and photojournalist Ricardo Parreira and has been promoted by the leftist French website StreetPress, lists many symbols broken up into various categories from phrases to animals, flags, gestures, numbers, and crosses.

In the section on crosses, the Nazi Swastika is highlighted alongside several mainstream Roman Catholic symbols, including the Jerusalem Cross (the Christian symbol for the city of Jerusalem), the Cross of Burgundy, the Cross Pattée and the Cross of Lorraine, which is seen on the flags on Hungary and Slovakia.

Swastika next to Cross of Jerusalem.

Gee, that makes perfect sense.

The French don’t have free speech, so what are you going to do.

Does this come from the French version of the ADL?

The radical Left is very brazen in its attempt to cancel any symbols that are not explicitly Leftist. Labeling all of these as “far right” is absurd and ahistorical. This is just another part of the Leftist campaign to destroy all historical memory.

In addition to the Jerusalem Cross, which is a religious Catholic symbol, several of the others are well-known historical symbols in France.

The Cross of Lorraine was the symbol of the Free French during WW2 who were fighting the Nazis.

The Occitan Cross, also known as the Languedoc Cross or the Toulouse Cross, is a heraldic symbol that is used extensively in southern France, including in the official symbol of several French regions.

The Burgundy Cross has been associated with Spain for centuries.

France has had a history of being anti-Catholic during the late 18th. century and since the 1980’s Christianity has been declining in France. Like Britain in time, 20 or 30 years Christianity will more than likely be extinct in both countries as Islam becomes dominant.

Not quite. The authors appear to be two leftwing radicals, in league with a leftwing radical media outlet.

Just two rather “ordinary” crackpots being given a little of a forum on the Net, I’d say.

Kindest regards to everybody on this thread :-)

The fleur-de-lis is missing, the swastika is Buddhist, only this representation is the nazi version.

Remember, the rosery beads are a WMD to the leftist.
