The rapper formerly known as Kanye West directed viewers to his website, where the homepage was selling a T-shirt with a swastika on the front.

    There aren’t a lot of jurisdictions in the world that ban the sale or display of the swastika (in Nazi-supporting circumstances). Australia and Germany are the only ones that come to mind, and Australia has only done so very recently (this year).

      Don’t forget about Austria, although I believe that won’t be for much longer as the next head of state is openly a Hitler fanboy

        I didn’t know, but that makes sense. My state in Aus also went further and banned the salute, and has actually prosecuted people under that law.

          I’m not sure if displaying a swastika is banned, if it is I wasn’t aware of that.

          Most states banned the salute. The federal govt recently banned it too, with mandatory incarceration.
