      lol, express patriotism with a flag used by enemies of our constitution. actual patriots might express their allegiance in accordance to Grundgesetz §22 (2).

    2. notmyname0101 on

      No. Google „Reichskriegsflagge“. I bet you every Neonazi claims he’s just a patriot.

    3. minimalmaximilian on

      “I’m a patriot” for what exactly? This is not the german flag. This is a Nazi or “Reichsbürger” and they aren’t even trying to hide it.

    4. Your-Ad-Here111 on

      Any normal (non-nazi) person being told that their profile pic is a flag used by Nazis would immediately change it.

    5. Ne0nN00dle on

      He’s what is commonly referred to as a nazi.
      Even if he might not follow Hitler’s ideas.

      Genuine harmless patriots bound on using a flag as profile pic would just use the official German flag (black-red-gold [displayed as yellow]).

    6. RED_Smokin on

      Yeah, no you shouldn’t.

      Black-White-Red is the flag of the german empire, not “exactly” Nazi, but Neo-Nazis use it a lot.
      Combined with the iron cross it is a obvious dog whistle by a far right person. 

      Patriotism in itself is kind of a right wing dog whistle, for everyone not on the right, at least very conservative, side in Germany.

      So, is he Nazi?
      I don’t know.
      If you want to argue semantics, probably not. 
      But he’ll be very probably someone on the far right side of the political spectrum, a nationalist and may very well believe in conspiracies about the political legitimation of the german state.

      This is just stupid. If he was a real patriot, there wouldnt be need to use the imperial flag of Germany that was antidemocratic, antiliberal and militaristic (and much more but not something a person could be proud of)

      Real patriots should use the Federal Flag (Schwarz-Rot-Gold). Everything else is just their weird way of historical revisioning and trying to make it look less bad by glorifying old times (and probably war and more).

      This person is far beyond being a patriot or is just diving to hard into history without looking at the important parts (he might be fascinated but doesnt like to be discouraged in the thing he likes)

      rofl, how old are you two. seems to me like he’s either an edgy teen or an adult piece of shit nazi. either way, cut ties. or better yet, make fun of him.

    9. betterbait on

      If he was born before 1918 it can be true. He might just be a patriot. If not, he’s either the equivalent of a Free Traveler (Reichsbürger), who attempted a coup d’état with plans to overthrow the German government recently, or just a plain old Neo-Nazi.

    10. -TheoTheWolf- on

      Okay yeah no that guys a straight up Nazi ngl. I was tryna say maybe he’s a history nerd, but that’s his straight up pfp. Screw that dude, he’s a Nazi

    11. Triepott on

      So he is a Nazi. Case closed. We can all go home.

      (Say to him, if he is a patriot and uses this flag, he is a Nazi)

    12. -TheoTheWolf- on

      Yeah no this guy is a Nazi. I thought earlier he might be a history nerd or something? But I didn’t know it was his straight up pfp. Block that guy.

    13. jadonstephesson on

      It’s the iron cross (Eiserne Kreuz) over the flag of the German Empire. It’s used by either Kaiserboos or bonified Nazis, as the Nazi flag is banned so they use past imperial symbols instead. No one who has it and uses it proudly is someone good to know lol

    14. Interesting_Loquat90 on

      This is a very interesting tale, but aren’t there better things to do on Christmas Eve night?

    15. The swastika flag is banned in Germany that’s why nazis started to use this flag instead. People who use this flag aren’t patriots, they are in fact anti patriots since they want to get rid of democracy.

    16. rowschank on

      I hope the person whom you’re talking to is under 18 and misled by social media rabbit holes. Patriots do not use colours used by Nazis to denounce the modern German state.

    17. SpinachSpinosaurus on

      tell him, patriotism is the opposite of what he is.

      because patriots accept all cultures, welcome them with open arms, share them, greet influences of other cultures and people in their own, because they love their country.

      he is a nationalist, who think every other culture than their own is inferior, want to eradicate every other influence within their culture, and either kill or enslave people of other nations, since they think they are the hottest shit in god’s creation.

      In short, a sham and shame to true patriotism, because facists have always been liars and scammers.

    18. DoctorRyner on

      Isn’t that German empire? Honestly, I hate when people label everyone a Nazi, guys remember, call a Nazi…. only actual Nazis, because the word lost its meaning, everyone just calls each other Nazi. It’s so stupid. The left, the right. Nazi this, Nazi that, I’m gonna puke because of hypocrisy.

      For instance, many of my friends call current Germany Nazi regime because of very strict laws.

      Just think a little bit, what makes a person a Nazi? Some old flag? Isn’t it stupid to think like that? Aren’t their views, their cruelty, etc make them Nazis and not flags of old empire? People in the comments are focused on EVERYTHING except being reasonable, just labeling poor guy a Nazi for a flag with a cross that was even used in Russian Empire (pre Soviet Union). Hate people for their views, not for views you manually assign to people in your head or people will stop believing you because you scream Nazi in every corner, people are not stupid and will be extremely angry if you label them unfairly, be thoughtful and don’t use such strong words lightly.

      (I’m more than sure some people will call me a Nazi just for trying to make sense of things, loool)

    19. _Archangle_ on

      Pick your choice:

      A: Neo-Nazi

      B: Good old boy – “im not a nazi I just hate those dirty foreigners/muslims/jews”

      C: Reichsbürger – german version of the “Sovereign Citizen” movement. 10/10 Stupid 11/10 Batshit crazy.

      Can`t even tell which of the options is worse …

    20. TheBloodofBarbarus on

      I was actually about to defend him in that other thread, because I could see myself using that flag or something similar (Iron Cross) at his age (16?) as a profile picture on Steam. Didn’t have Instagram back then and granted, using it on social media is probably a bit different compared to using it on a gaming platform. My friends and me used to play WW1/WW2 games a lot and your Steam profile picture oftentimes is also your ingame profile picture (and yes, I’m aware that some people here will point out now that playing games where one has to “fight and die for ze glory of ze german fatherland” is very tasteless in itself and that it automatically makes one highly suspicious of me being right-wing as well, but all I can tell you that I never voted for a far right party, and I’m not going to engage in any arguments here, so just downvote and be on your way please).

      But if he’s justifying this with beging a “patriot”, then yeah, he’s an idiot. At 16 one should know better and be aware of the associations and reactions this kind of “patriotic” display is going to have on other people when they see this, and he’s obviously fine with that, otherwise why wouldn’t he just use 🇩🇪?

      Patriots fly the black, red and gold.

      Patriots stand for democracy.

      Patriots protect their country and its citizens.

      Patriots are supportive to all people of every ethnicity, sexual orientation, identity, religion etc.

      Patriots want to protect their country by protecting its nature.

      Patriots are against sources of energy that pollute the world we live in.

      Patriots are so much more than this tiny mind flying an imperial flag with an iron cross can comprehend.

    22. Young-Rider on

      The loudest self-declared „patriots“ are 99.99% of the time fascists or traitors.

    23. Hochspannungswerk on

      yeez throw him into the trash already. Edgy Teens are crazy weird these days. I dont want to know what his feed looks like with that attitude.

    24. Its a nazi. And you recognize them by them going a lot out of their way to day they’re not “but”.
