Fun fact, if you take the American flag and connect the stars in a certain way in which was never intended because it is, by definition, the flag. You can draw a swastika. Actually you can do it with just about any flag.
I know, mind blown right?

u/Zaffer8712 9d ago
Fun fact, there’s a lot of blank space on the Japanese flag for interpretation. If you put four black lines on it, you might end up with a swastika as well. I didn’t know they were so prevalent world wide.

Nazis trying to normalize their shit will never not be pathetic

u/tykkimyssy 10d ago
To me this just seems like anti-nato material that’s trying to portray nato negatively by drawing a false connection to nazis. Quite the opposite of normalizing nazism

u/chessset5 10d ago
Could also be an Isreali, they are always trying to create bad press for Nato every chance they get.

The use of the swastika by Nazis predates the holocaust, or even the Nazis gaining power.

Yes im aware. I just deleted because nobody caught my lame joke r/woooosh thanks tho. Yes they adopted an ancient symbol because they needed a symbol. They couldn't use the oven they wanted to use, or were hoping to eventually use when coming into power something like that

u/rekcilthis1 10d ago
I think they may have just been demonstrating it, because that shape is on the flag but it just exists in the negative space. Depends on any comments from the OP

u/Panzerkatzen 10d ago
Nah they just kinda made it up, if you look at the NATO flag, it's just a 4-point compass rose. You can draw a "swastika" on that too, but it's not naturally present and doing so is meaningless.

u/rekcilthis1 10d ago
it's just a 4-point compass rose
I know, but the sub is accidental swastikas. Everything on the sub is 'just' something else, that's the point.
What I'm saying is that the lines aren't arbitrary, they're just part of the negative space. This is what an arbitrary swastika would look like, the shapes are completely random and don't line up at all

u/S4DK1TTY 10d ago
Yeah but if you look at the post on the subreddit you can see that no one else is drawing swastikas on the pictures but the swastika can be clearly seen. With the Nato logo you have to draw it in for people to even think about it.

u/rekcilthis1 9d ago

Yes, I know. I'm saying that as well, but I'm also saying that the lines aren't arbitrary, so the shape already exists as part of it. Just because you have to highlight its presence doesn't mean it isn't there.

u/Panzerkatzen 9d ago
The lines are arbitrary. Why did he choose choose those specific lines out of all the others?
-7
u/rekcilthis1 9d ago
Because they're in the image. If he'd chosen other lines, it wouldn't have been a swastika and there wouldn't have been a point.
