    I assume anyone flying a swastika is antisemitic, when to be fair, they might just be a fan of the Nazi stance on affordable housing and infrastructure.

    Or they’re Hindu and it’s got nothing to do with Nazis at all.

      Yes, that’s sorta why I picked that example. It’s a symbol that’s been used in other contexts and is almost entirely associated with a specific negative use case.

      If you see a guy walking around with a swastika arm band, do you really think "oh, look at that man showing pride in his Hindu beliefs”?

        If they’re dressed in Hindu garb, sure. I wouldn’t assume they’re a Nazi then. Granted it’s not what we’re likely to see.
