The correct response to such a request is "No Nazi bullshit"
I agree, I'd refuse it, but I can't judge someone who is self-employed, and needs to keep the money rolling in. Traditionally, artists have had to work for wealthy patrons they havent cared for, but that's the flip side of being an artist, and why the dream is always artistic independence.
Man, the difference is that the swastika sends a message of death. I know, I know, anything could be a message of death.
But some stupid fuck sees that stupid idiot wearing a fucking diamond encrusted swastika necklace, then he will be emboldened next time to harm some innocent person. All because, yes, because of someone willing to take the money. It's blood money.
That's a very valid perspective, i agree.
But it seems like if someone is going to be inspired by a diamond-encrusted swatika to commit hate crimes, they were already pretty far down that path anyway. I don't think the jeweler who is trying feed his family is at fault.
Unless that one commission is standing between them and survival then I think we can say they're slightly to blame. They're a part of the problem anyway.
He's just following the custom order amirite
