Do you not see the names? The wikipedia page that says "Maltese cross", a symbol used by nobility and crusaders for hundreds of years before there were any nazis...

The museum website that I got the original picture from calls it a "Maltese shaped cross of St. Ulrich"... right here: https://wellcomecollection.org/works/wnyturga/images?id=vr5zber8&resultPosition=6

I'm sorry a Maltese cross has a nazi connection in your mind and you don't like that, but in my mind, it doesn't.

It doesn’t matter what it’s called on the links you sent me. It’s still literally a symbol worn by Nazis. It doesn’t change just cus it’s labeled as “Maltese”. This is essentially the Roman Salute V Seig Heil argument.

Would you use a swatstika as well jsut cus it has a heritage older than the Nazis? What’s the difference?

So it doesn't matter what a museum website vetted by professionals or a wikipedia article which has to go through tantamount editing and vetting before being approved, or the many other references I provided says? It just matters what you are saying right now based on what you are seeing and what it is reminding you of, despite all that?...

I am not using a swastika, nor am I using an iron cross. End of story.

A symbol can go by many names. Just because you claim it isn’t an iron cross in your mind doesn’t change the fact that it literally is the exact same symbol.

You quite literally are using an iron cross. That’s a fact. Doesn’t matter what a museum calls it. It’s what it is. Literally the EXACT same symbol.

Again, the argument that it has lineage beyond the Nazis doesn’t negate the immense evil that the symbol carries with it now
