Meh it’s more equivalent to something like cowboys in the west.
Like yeah far-right likes to use them for ads and pretend it’s their symbol but when Japanese spiderman shows a cowboy with skates it isn’t referencing “American far-right.”
The Grey Wolves officially known by the short name Idealist Hearths , is a Turkish far-right political movement and the youth wing of the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP). Commonly described as ultranationalist, neo-fascist, Islamo-nationalist (sometimes secular), and racist, the Grey Wolves have been described by some scholars, journalists, and governments as a death squad and a terrorist organization. Its members deny its political nature and claim it to be a cultural and educational foundation, citing its full official name: Idealist Hearths Educational and Cultural Foundation.
Maybe many use the symbol and they don’t know what it represents, but i don’t take it as an excuse. Same goes with many other fascist symbols.
