TBF, i would never hang a fricking Nazi flag in a restaurant and be like CONTEXT. It aint a museum and thats....a little odd....no? Like its important to learn about gulags, and pogroms, and the Holocaust, but not over brunch, huh?

If the owner was a doctor and had human skulls and organs in jars and pictures and diagrams of the human body during surgery all over the walls of an unrelated RESTAURANT i would question that persons judgement as well

But also TBF, if it has some plaque about who captured it and whatnot id probably sit there and eat my country breakfast with a sense of pride as i thought about my badass fricking country.

Beyond that, it's really just perspective or bias.

Perspective, as in, look how the Facebook post intentionally made it look like it's just a flag all by itself. Even though they couldn't hide the fricking plaque on the flag explaining why that flag was there.

Or bias, as in, you are looking to be offended. And when you see this you immediately jump to "the restaurant must be racist".

The restaurant is essentially a museum. Or at the very least a shrine to battles won against terrible enemies of freedom. And the entire front of the restaurant makes that plainly obvious, unless you are an idiot. It takes a special skill to turn it into something offensive. And that's exactly what this person did.
