I wouldn't assume someone carrying a Nazi flag means all of those things. I wouldn't assume everyone was gay or supported gay rights if someone held a rainbow flag. I might assume the person holding the flag has support for the flag but it's not necessarily true.
If the Nazi flag had Justin Trudeau's face on it I would instantly get the message that Trudeau is a Nazi not support for a group from a foreign country in the 1930s.
- BizarroLand 5y agoLot of people working in overdrive to excuse displays of Nazi symbolism these days. Never would have thought I would see it on y-combinator but here we are.
- adriand 5y agoI am with you. Thank you for speaking up!
- ipaddr 5y agoA nazi flag with Justin Trudeau as the logo is very different message to an actual flag with different intent. A nazi flag is a taboo topic with certain imagery attached. These protesters think Justin Trudeau has been acting like a nazi would. You may agree or not but don't fail to understand the message.
