I mean, nazis aren't the only ones who use the eagle. However, it has the nazi S in it so yes.

Right, that's the obvious resemblance (plus the symbol that looks like an SS lightning bolt) but it's got enough differences that it seemed like it could maybe be something else.

Just weird to see it so openly in my area.

Reverse image search on a tight crop of the insignia gets me nada and it doesn't exactly match the Nazi eagle but it makes me wanna say "yikeseroo".

My first impression was more "Air Force Thunderbirds logo" than nazi eagle, but it's kinda halfway in between.


Might be a native american thing I guess, but until proven otherwise I'll assume fascist.

But yeah it's probably some lovely militia group that confuses white supremacy with patriotism.

I think this is it, actually. While I can't find the exact design, I'm finding enough Thunderbird-related designs that I feel pretty confident that it's supposed to be a Thunderbird with a stylized lightning bolt on its chest.

It just tripped some really unfortunate heuristics that have been driven into my brain over the past 4 years :sigh:

Native american designs almost never have feet and rarely have outward facing feathers, I'm still leaning fash.

Native American designs have Nordic runes incorporates into them exactly 0% of the time.

Eagles and runes are combined by nazis considerably more than that

it's actually a "z" as in "Weezer", and you can see the similarities to their logo. This particular person just happens to be a big fan of the pinkertons

What an obscure-assed show to reference. This must be some 4chan thing. "Let's use this fascist-looking symbol in public so we can tell people they're dumb when they say it looks fascist!"

after digging way too deep into the fandom's wiki I can inform you all that it's fake 70's japanese tv show fash who are canonically lefover nazi holocaust medical experimenters (please hold all questions about Unit 731 until the end of the tour) and are really into gimp suits.
