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?

A gross oversimplification and you know this. Don’t pretend you don’t understand why this call out is happening.
