Good point. Let's rephrase it a bit though to see if we feel the same way, though?

Let's say someone's navigating the ocean in an historical U-Boat and flying the Nazi flag. Would the flag then seem out of place?

RR: That you keep posting photos of blatant Nazi garbage kind of makes the point against you - no one here is featuring the flag like that. If they were, I'd have little doubt that they'd be reprimanded for doing so.

In the end, it'a all about context.
