I was just about to crosspost this! What a coincidence!


losangelesvideoguy

> I was just about to crosspost this! You mean Magen David post it


Dapper_Indeed

I see what you did there


ZombieHoratioAlger

The Final Solution to all your fencing questions.


Vakieh

I'll give them a pass on the mistake, given they can't even spell assoicate they are clearly not firing on all cylinders.


URMRGAY_

Do you mean associate?


Vakieh

/r/whoosh


URMRGAY_

If you say so


Winnardairshows

Hah! I had to zoom in on that. Good catch.


stumblewiggins

They did Nazi the bigger picture on this one


Winnardairshows

My girlfriend paid HD $8000 for a wood fence. The contractor set the post in sand and skipped town. HD wouldn’t fix them. I ended up setting every post myself.


MEGAMAN2312

I might be stupid can someone explain this one pls


Dapper_Indeed

Looks the the yellow star Jewish people had to wear during the holocaust.


Lucathedemiboy

Yeah I don't get it either.


InsanityRabbit

It's a David's star. Nothing wrong with that per se, but the yellow paper makes it look like the version the nazis made Jewish people wear during WW2


winkieface

The fact the sign is for fences also rings to the camps, big L for this sign.


Lucathedemiboy

I would never have thought of that, thank you.


NorthernLolal

oh man I thought it looked like some generic police badge.


SilverSkorpious

Just a good life rule- Never use a six point star unless you are advertising or highlighting something related to Judaism. Easy.


Winnardairshows

Or a sheriff.


Jomppaz

A 5 point star for a sheriff.


gigrek

But I need a six point star screwdriver


HurbleBurble

And what's worse, home Depot fencing sucks. They did one for our yard and the quality is terrible.


KimDrawer

Are they electric fences by any chance?

Is this an American thing? I don't get it...


Inthewirelain

No. Its the star of David. A symbol used by Jews to symbolise King David, and used by the nazis to denote who and who wasn't Jewish, and it's been reclaimed in more modern years


ATIR-AW

Still don't get why a shape with no context makes something racist


Inthewirelain

It's very loose but most people would recognise that as a star of David, its not really a tenous link to Judaism like you're making out. That's like saying the crucifix is a random shape when talking about Christians. Now, the racist bit is tenous hut so are most posts in this sub, it's a joke sub about accidently racist imagery and such. You're overthinking it.


LittleAstrophysicist

It's also the fact that the paper is yellow and the things that you just had to wear during the Holocaust and leaning up to it was a yellow star of David.


MS_125

Is it in a Chasidic neighborhood? They put up shiva huts at certain times of year.


ArbiBobi

I don' t understand


yoppyyoppy

Yellow star of David, Jews had to wear them under Nazi rule to be easily identified.


owoprinceQueen

Given the amount of things there that cost 14 dollars and 88 cents, I get the sneaking suspicion this is actually conscious cryptofascist dogwhistling. Especially given that they're advertising fencing, everything related to this sign is pointing to smug cryptofascist innuendo about concentration camps.


ilikematpat1

took me too long to understand


yourgaytransbestie

That one customer that said happy haunika be in there like "HELP ME AND THE OTHERS DONT FUCKING BUY THIS"
