Iron Front/Three Arrows Symbol

I’ve seen a lot of ANTIFA/Anarcho-Communists adopt the iron front/three arrow symbol and I’m kinda confused as to why this is the case? Wasn’t this symbol created by the German Social Democratic Party to destroy monarchism, nazism, and communism? Why are so many anarcho-communists using a symbol that means destroying communism?

Edit: Okay, so I received a lot of comments. Frankly I assumed this server was mostly ancom but I guess not. Communists should not and cannot ever work with social democrats/social liberals as fundamentally they are capitalist reactionaries that will side with Fascists regardless of whatever "antifascist" imagery they promote. The main argument (sorry if I missed yours too many comments to read them all) I see is that these soc dems (which tbh should be the end of the discussion) were referring to "authoritarian" communists. That just goes to show that these commenters don't understand what communism is. MLs, Maoists, MLM and whatever other nonsense exists are authoritarian socialists and as they believe in the authority of the vanguard to implement a "proletariat state". On top of that anarchists (or atleast ancoms) argue that authoritarian socialists (state socialism) is state capitalism and a complete abandonment of the basic definition of "workers owning the means of production through worker's democracy and unionization". None of these "communist" ideologies or implementations were communist since communism is DEFINED to be the ABOLISHMENT of the nation state and ERRADICATION of hierarchy (egalitarianism). In fact, the whole notion of "authoritarian communist" is the literal definition of liberal propaganda that was used to denounce communism as a "radical" ideology. Everyone keeps saying that soc dems were referring to only Bolsheviks???? Did everyone forget Rosa Luxemburg and the KAPD??? I won't even elaborate because if you don't know her and her criticisms of Lenin (literally wrote an essay calling Lenin a spicy soc dem) and her death at the hands of the SPD, you shouldn't even be commenting under this post. As such I find it completely reprehensible that antifascists have adopted a liberal symbol, a symbol that was created by parties that historically SIDED with fascists. Let's stick with our red and black flag, it's fine as it is.

Note: I do not mean to seem hostile or attack anyone individual, this is just a general response to several comments I've seen

What's the deal with subreddits using ++ -- as upvote and downvote symbols instead of the arrows?

Is it some kind of legacy upvote symbol? It doesn't seem to be a custom symbol as a lot of subs have it and its mentioned in the Reddit docs somewhere I believe.

Here's an example of the ++ symbol: https://imgur.com/a/A1fwM5Z

and here's the standard symbol for comparison: https://imgur.com/a/3LmCIAl

Customisable keyboard (or even better, something like Hackers Keyboard with symbols, arrows, etc) that supports glide typing?

I use gboard, but I really wish it was more customisable. E.g. I wish I could set the height higher (it's already on very tall and is too short). I really like the old HackersKeyboard for example, the amount of features it adds is brilliant.

But my problem is I can't leave gboard as I'm so much more efficient using the glide functionality. The Hackers Keyboard dev says that his was split from the Google library such a long time ago, that adding glide support through the Google library (Google exposes glide) would be a huge task.

Are there any good customisable and feature rich keyboards out there that support this?

One arrow in a circle trade symbol meaning

(Playing on Switch)

When I'm selecting new trade routes a list of cities appear. Some cities have the trading post symbol (which looks like a market stall) and some have just half of the trade route symbol. What is that second one? It looks just like the trade route symbol but only has one of the two arrows.

Thanks in advance.

Finally found a definitive answer:

It means the route is boosted by an existing trade route, canal, railroad, ocean tiles, tunnel, etc.

YSK the "chasing arrows" triangle symbol on plastic containers is NOT the recycling symbol. It just tells you what kind of plastic it is. And if it's not #1 or #2, it's probably not recyclable.

Why YSK:

Recycling used to be done by hand, and knowing the type of plastic helped sorters. Many states even required the "chasing arrows" triangle and still require it today. But now that it's largely done by machine, the symbol just confuses people, because it looks exactly like the recycling symbol. This leads to contaminated (25+%) recycling. But it helps the plastic industry by making people think their waste is getting recycled.

Confused? That's kind of the point.

Rule of thumb - if the number in the triangle ain't #1 or #2, it might be recyclable in a specialized facility, but probably doesn't belong in your recycling bin.

EDIT: This is for the USA. Check your local recycling guidelines, they're online somewhere

EDIIT: For clarity: The chasing arrows triangle IS the real recycling symbol BUT with a number inside it becomes the sneaky lying Resin Identification Code

Logical explanation for the enigma puzzle with symbols and arrows

This is one of the tougher puzzles and I wasn't satisfied with the online explanation of how it is solved. I recently played through again after the patch and some of the translations in the enigma maze changed and made it clear how this was solved:

  1. >! There are 6 portraits of the symbols in the puzzles scattered throughout the maze. They all have captions like "I am the Marilith that brings evil with every hand" or "I am the planes of evil that give birth to demons, devils and daemons". Each of these is a hint to a number. Marileths have 6 hands, so 6. 3 planes, so 3.!<
  2. >!When you've looked at all the symbols, you can turn the grid into a number grid like so:!<

>!1 6 4!<

>!2 1 5!<

>!1 3 1!<

>! 3. Imagine each arrow creates a line starting from it's tip - that line will pass through 1,2 or 3 squares depending on how you point it. Each square needs to have x lines pass through it, where x is the number. Using that logic, the solution actually makes sense.!<
