where are you located? in my part of the world, in my corner of america, that is the white supremacist symbol. you don't often see people with it, but when you do it is a tattoo or morale patch on someone wearing other hate symbols. i assumed it was widely understood to be a white supremacist symbol in any context aside from displaying pride in Georgian national identity, so i'm learning new things today.

i still think though we can safely assume that for the people putting out this propaganda that who they're speaking to and for is racists

in America, that’s not a very common symbol…
we don’t actually see a lot of white supremacists on the street though (they would get murked)

quite a few christian nationalists have adopted other crusader symbolism so i see it as a horrible, christian nationalist, invader/colonizer symbol… but i’ve never seen it associated with white supremacism…

my argument isn’t that it’s never used by white supremacists, it’s that it’s not an outright white supremacist symbol.
i’d call it a dog whistle, though.
