    Where was the outrage when actual white supremacists were flying actual Nazi flags as part of the Freedom Convoy. And they didn’t just fly Nazi flags … three percenters, don’t trend on me, confederate flags, soldiers of Odin … groups that are either far right, white supremacist, neo-Nazi or sympathize with these movements.

    This recent example is a protester equating Nazism to Zionism … it doesn’t say they are supporting Nazism, it’s trying to convey that Zionism is like Nazism. Like the story points out … someone presenting an image doesn’t always mean they support it.

    Context matters and politicians are always ready to feign ignorance in order to send a quick message.

    At the Freedom Convoy, white supremacists flew actual Nazi flags for one reason only … because they themselves supported Nazism. And it wasn’t just one instance in one moment, some of those flags stayed for weeks.

        They didn’t care. The only thing they really commented on is that they made a lot of noise and sometimes blocked the roads. You had what basically amounted to an invasion from America and they downplayed that shit so hard that I bet you didn’t know they were Americans.

    Even just looking at the image the guy is clearly drawing a parallel between Nazi Germany and Israel rather than flying a swastika as an expression of their personal beliefs.
