I think it's great graphic design, wasted on a project that doesn't need branding or identity, and certainly doesn't need any more publicity than it already has. That logo could have been used on something that brought joy into people's lives.

For some people systemd "brought joy" into their lives.
Segregation brought joy into some people's lives. I'm sure Stalin was quite happy about engineering the famine in the Ukraine. Every great human-created disaster was pleasing to someone. There are inevitably people who enjoy conflict, destruction, and tragedy. I mean that this logo is a waste of graphic design in the sense that the SS uniform is one of the finest examples of uniform design ever made, but wasted on an organization that would have been better off never existing.
Are you seriously comparing systemd with some of the worst crimes against humanity ever?

If so please look in the mirror. If not serious and just jokingly, please consider how you got to a place where you thought that was a rational and decent thing to do.
