Hello I was wondering if you know of any up-to-date resources for identifying fascist symbols. I saw a flag being displayed on my commute to work and I suspect it may be a white nationalist flag but typing a description into Google got me nowhere. It was an American flag but in the center there was a white circle around a red cross (not a Christian crucifix, more like the iron cross)
It sounds like the symbol you saw might be something like this?
Which is a Templar cross, used mainly by far-Right islamophobic Christian groups when it is in red on white like that. Similar crosses and designs are used in many countries and by many groups though, so context is important: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_patt%C3%A9e
These seated ancient Egyptian statues depict the divine Isis and her husband Osiris. They were found together in the tomb of an official Psamtik from the time of the reign of king Amasis (ca. 570-526 BC). Isis wears a sheath dress and a crown in the form of the emblem of Hathor – a solar disc set between cow’s horns. In her right hand she holds the ankh, the sign of life. Osiris, carved in the same beautiful style of the 26th Dynasty, is wrapped in fine cloth, as he holds symbols of sovereignty – the flail and crook.
The inscriptions around the bases of the statues were intended to invoke ‘Isis, mother of the god, great in magic, mistress of the Two Lands’, and ‘Osiris who presides in the west, great god, lord of Ro-Setaou’. Following his judgment of the deceased, Osiris could grant wishes for a peaceful arrival in the netherworld, while Isis gives life – the carved life symbol reveals her to be a magician stronger than death. This divine couple belonged to a sumptuous burial and would have ensured perpetual protection for the person with whom they were interred.

This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
