    Providing zero context for these flags for those who aren’t chronically investigating far-right symbolism.

    Or maybe just basic understanding of history? Like, you know that this exact symbol is all over our the US Capitol building, right? Maybe you should know what it means…

    Kind of a self-report.

      What is it with people on the internet and slagging people off rather than explaining simple concepts?

      I am not from the US or Europe, and have no familial links to any world war. The last time I took a history lesson was 20ish years ago. So you’ll have to forgive me if two obscure flags don’t immediately trigger understanding in me.

      Could I Google it? Sure. Am I going to? Probably not. Does shutting down conversation and shitting on people for not having your life experience kill online communities? I guess we’ll see.

      There is no need to be hostile toward someone who is clearly on our side. If they weren’t they wouldn’t mention the other abuses Walmart commits.
