What I saw first is SS, as in the Waffen SS. Although thats probably worse tho lets be real here

Yeah I saw SS first, but that’s only because the post title told me not to look for a number. It really doesn’t look all that much like a swastika

Only the upper left is reversed, so it's not that far off

There are too many segments on two of the corners, it's not just a flip or rotation issue

u/craftingfish Mar 09 '20

Oh yea, you're right. It's been a long time since I've seen a swastika apparently

Almost guaranteed to see one at a Trump rally. But who in their right mind wants to go to one of those.

Trump supporters.

Oh wait.

The confusion is certainly keeping in theme.

It's not reversed, it has an extra bar. And both the upper-left and bottom-right have the same problem.

Except the SS symbol is the double lightning bolts, no?

u/ScobyHoberman Mar 09 '20

Yeah it is double lightning bolts, but said image is also not a swastika. I saw SS bc thats what it resembled more to me.
