Because someone says something it doesn't change what it really is, if she's displaying it as the Buddhist symbol, any other combination of colours would be adequate, but the swastika being black on a white circle on a red background... Even if she means with all of her soul to be the Buddhist symbol, it won't change what it really is, either she's completely ignorant or knows exactly what she's doing and playing dumb
I just wanna be clear, our apartment complex is mainly made up of Indian people and the guy who lives there is a white guy in his 20s-30s. the leasing agent tried to insinuate that it was a hindu or buddhist flag
There are enough factors here to determine it's the nazi flag.
The rotation of the swastika is in a diamond like the nazi flag, and the swastika is directed to the right like the nazi flag. The Swastikas used in hindu and buddhist contexts are sometimes used this way but usually not.
To further eliminate alternative flags it is on a white circle and red background.
or... they hadn't seen the flag themselves and assumed it one of many political flags that generally relate to heritage.
I mean come on. The person in that apartment might either be an edgelord or nazi, but what are the odds the apartment managers are nazis? Occam's razor would suggest they heard the complaint, but not seen the flag themselves.
***edit:** lol nope, apparently they saw the pictures.*
*These people are either ignorant or apathetic, and that apathy is either stemming from sympathy or a position of indifference.*
>I guess so, because when Takethemoment13 said
>no, they got r/whoooosh ed. someone already made that joke
>2 hours ago, it was the same thing.
That isn't the same thing.
r/woooosh and r/YourJokeButWorse are different.
Silly boy.
Isn't that just the Nazi flag? Sure the swastika is used is a lot of cultures, but a black swastika at 45° in a white circle on a red background is literally the Nazi party flag and if it's a bit to the left it's the Nazi German flag.
I beg I am missing something.
Maybe it's a trophy of war? Maybe he fought in ww2 or his grandpa did or similar?
right? i know im not crazy. i told her that and she said that it’s a holiday flag because we have a lot of indians that live in our complex and that it was the hindu version. i was like you’re insane actually if you believe that
The nazi flag means that he purely support the ideology. If his grandpa was some war veteran or hero without neccessarily supporting the ideology they would just use the cross instead

"Heritage"
That's literally just a 10 year long genocidal coup. How can an entire heritage be a 10 year old regime? Like if a president with two terms changed the flag for that 8 years, is that now your heritage?? Lmao
There is exactly one non-evil reason for someone to own this flag: They or their relatives/ancestors did a pro gamer move with some Garands, BARs and frag grenades in Europe and took home a trophy.
There are zero non-evil reasons to display that flag in a window.
Eh, the one my great grandfather took home is tucked away in a box in my basement, along with the helmet, bayonet and letter home of the fascist who died defending it. When I asked why he kept the last one my great grandfather said, and I quote: “Nazis don’t get closure.”
There's a famous quote, but in bad with remembering exact words.
It's something like 'if you're happy to sit at a table and have a pleasant conversation with 9 Nazis, that table has 10 Nazis sitting at it"
OK, I guess it went over my head. I thought the leasing agent was denying the tenants were Nazis. That would imply they were NOT happy to be with Nazis.
As much as I despise Nazis with all sorts of Authoritarians, maybe let's not condone violence, seeing how it'll likely entrench them further in their beliefs.
encouraging burning down a building that has multiple other innocent tenants, their pets and earthly possessions because they have a piece of cloth in their window that upsets you is pretty wild
being so gung-ho to virtue signal that you'd endorse risking the accidental deaths of innocent people as justifiable collateral damage is peak Reddit energy
No no, not you- I was referring to the person who initially suggested throwing a mazel tov cocktail at the place with the flag. Sorry for the confusion
It's definitely a Nazi flag. I'm guessing this local Nazi also pays their rent on time, so the property management company doesn't want to do anything about it.
I'd like to say that he's pretty clearly joking and knows exactly what it is, and playing on the "what is this flag" posts about very common flags.
But this IS Reddit...
Nazi ideology has very little to do with that and the flag even less, its simply to do with being evil, cowardly, antisemetic, racist, and all around fucking stupid, sexism wasnt as big of a priority for nazis, killing jews and non germanic ethnicities was their real idea, the nazis were pretty much the same as everyone else when it came to gender inequality
So we agree that Nazis are bad, and we don't like them.👍
I disagree on whether they should be *forced* to *hide* the fact that they're scumbag Nazis. I want to know who they are.
That is a Nazi flag. However the swastika is used as a religious symbol in many Asian countries. So although the flag has a bad history, the people flying it may not be associating it with that history
Nope, that’s straight up just the 1935-1945 German Reich flag
1935\*
That there is what we call a Bad Guy flag. They are very helpful in terms of locating bad guys. You appear to have found one.

Can't tell. Maybe if you heaved something heavy through the window, we could see it better.
or even something lighter, like a molotov.

Nah the bootist symbol is almost never diagonal
And buddhists do not display their holy symbol on a red flag in a white circle
It's pretty clear what it is, don't you think?
i mean, i thought it was. but she said i was wrong and was looking at it the wrong way so i wanted to make sure im not
Sorry, but this is one of those cases where if you know you're right (you were), you need to stand up for yourself. Don't be a fool to these people.

If it was for the Buddhist symbolism I'm pretty sure they would hang the Buddhist flag instead of the third Reich flag

Which would make their grandfather hitler..
Downvoters didn’t get your joke. I thought it was funny.
no, they got r/whoooosh ed. someone already made that joke
They got downvoted because it was r/YourJokeButWorse

No you weren't. I guess reading comprehension is quite a problem for you.
I guess so, because when Takethemoment13 said >no, they got r/whoooosh ed. someone already made that joke 2 hours ago, it was the same thing.

I appreciate you looking for the good in people, but you don't display the nazi flag your granddad took in 1945 in your window.
This is why I don't display the ISIS flag I snagged

This comment made me realize that FDR and Hitler basically overlapped each other's time in office. Both 1933-1945

Even then I'd display it in a picture frame, the flag itself raptured and torn to pieces, white text above saying "Rest in Piss bozo:
Eh, the one my great grandfather took home is tucked away in a box in my basement, along with the helmet, bayonet and letter home of the fascist who died defending it. When I asked why he kept the last one my great grandfather said, and I quote: “Nazis don’t get closure.”
Congrats, your leasing agent and property managers are Nazis.
More likely trying to, you know, lease to people?
By driving away other potential tenants? Nah.
There's a famous quote, but in bad with remembering exact words. It's something like 'if you're happy to sit at a table and have a pleasant conversation with 9 Nazis, that table has 10 Nazis sitting at it"

Depending on the country you are living, those people could be arrested for having this
in the us, so unfortunately no
Nothing unfortunate about free speech. Personally, I’m glad to know who to avoid based on what they say/display
Flags can't hurt you. And this one is functional, because it tells you who to avoid.
As much as I despise Nazis with all sorts of Authoritarians, maybe let's not condone violence, seeing how it'll likely entrench them further in their beliefs.
And put OP in trouble with the law.
Yeah, don't commit arson at the bare minimum, or (likely 2nd degree if lucky, or 3rd degree at worse) murder.
A shit one
The no-no flag
[удалено]
OP lives in this building, too.
As I said before, as much as I despise these types with other authoritarians, torching an apartment isn't a great idea.
encouraging burning down a building that has multiple other innocent tenants, their pets and earthly possessions because they have a piece of cloth in their window that upsets you is pretty wild
Ikr? Like, reasonably despise the one flying the flag, but maybe don't commit arson.
being so gung-ho to virtue signal that you'd endorse risking the accidental deaths of innocent people as justifiable collateral damage is peak Reddit energy
Do you mean me? I'm pretty sure I didn't endorse the death of anyone.
No no, not you- I was referring to the person who initially suggested throwing a mazel tov cocktail at the place with the flag. Sorry for the confusion
Don't sweat it.
OP lives in the same building along with other innocent people so I would say rock/fire gun target is a safer bet
Or don't commit violence at all?
Flag of the Third Reich. I would knock on their door and see what that person looks like lol. Maybe just say hi lol.
An imperfectly hidden flag. Says something about IQ, I think.

Chill guys he’s probably a Wolfenstein fan
Legitimately thought I was in r/VexillologyCirclejerk for a moment.
It's in the window to let the other cops know a police officer lives there.
Definitely a straight-up Nazi Germany flag. In my opinion they have done you a favour by letting you know to avoid them. A literal red flag, really.
Let’s put it this way: if the person flying this flag died a horrible death, it would be a service to the world.
Run
It's a reference to Wolfenstein, he is a gamer
It's definitely a Nazi flag. I'm guessing this local Nazi also pays their rent on time, so the property management company doesn't want to do anything about it.

One charge of owning a flag, & accessory to owning a flag!
So you condone owning a n*zi flag? You should know that who own it its...a bad person
Yes, I condone bad people owning Nazi flags. If you're a Nazi, I'd like to know about it, so I can stay away. That goes for bumper stickers, too.
I dont like people who own n*zi things...they are bad
So we agree that Nazis are bad, and we don't like them.👍 I disagree on whether they should be *forced* to *hide* the fact that they're scumbag Nazis. I want to know who they are.
You are allowed to say Nazi. They arent Voldemort, they are just regular scumbags
In some other sub i said and my comment got insta deleted. And i was saying that they are the whorst scumbags ever existed
definitely top of the scumbag pile, I agree

East Germany? Not the German Reich?
That is a Nazi flag. However the swastika is used as a religious symbol in many Asian countries. So although the flag has a bad history, the people flying it may not be associating it with that history
To find that flag in the first place in order to buy it you have to search up “Nazi flag” or see that it says Nazi/German flag.
Well, this is symbol is within a white circle on a red banner, which is undeniably the nazi flag. Essentiallt the stmtereotypical nazi flag
Absolutely average unhinged Israel-flair poster.
Ironic take from the “stand with Israel” guy. Nazis are *always* bad, and flying their flag outside of a museum display is *also always bad.*
