He has WW2 items displayed on the wall. There's a Japanese flag hanging right next to it. They have military items every where in there. Think the owner was a former Marine

Was the first thing that popped in my mine. people are just dumb sheep.

It aint a museum


What makes you say that?

I would argue that it’s perfectly logical that a restaurant can also be a museum, especially when it has historic artifacts displayed all around. And as a history buff, this restaurant is right in my wheelhouse.

A dumb woman posting on Facebook. Imagine that.

If the flag was the only displayed piece of historical memorabilia I would understand, but like people said, the owner is a vet how has a ton of historical military decor. Point being that someone went out of there way to capture a flag and run to post their virtual signaling with zero factual context. Some people are obsessed with driving the “white supremacy” is real narrative. This is the type of shite that feeds into it.

I maybe mistaken, but I believe he has a wall dedicated to pictures of people’s family members that served. I’ve eaten there a couple of times and thought about bringing in a picture of my dad and asking if it could be added to the wall. He was a Vietnam vet who passed from cancer in 2015. It would be a cool place to honor his memory.

I PERSONALLY think this is very cool.

If you display Nazi memorabilia, you are a POS

I have several items that I’ll display in a home office. Next on my list is a banner or flag.

People are free to fly whatever flag they want and they can have all the WW2 memorabilia they want, but I have to think that as a business, having a flag with a swastika on it, visible from the outside without advertising that the swastika flag is part of his WW2 collection, has an underlying reason for flying it in that spot.

What I can't believe is the fact that there are so many people who downvoted your post and is defending this person.

There are ways to display a WW2 collection without making a swastika flag so visible. Why not have an American flag more visible?

---

Figures I’d have to explain this to you. The display isn’t just random Nazi flag. It’s a flag captured by American troops. There a plaque on the flag giving the details of its capture. The flag is a war trophy. It’s been common for centuries to display captured enemy flags as trophies of war to celebrate your victory over that enemy. What that flag display is celebrating is our victory over the Nazis.

I mean not really. No matter how much my restaurant focuses on memorabilia, the one thing I’m probably not going to hang up under and circumstances is a Nazi flag. The downside of that outweighs any potential benefits.

---

If it’s hanging alongside an Imperial Japanese flag with plaques stating they’re war prizes taken from their defeated enemies, then that’s a shitload of context. Some retard taking a picture through a window is like trying to watch an imax movie through a toilet paper tube.

Im not sure where i ever disagreed with this. Im like the most right leaning person on this board.

In your reply to me when you argued about context.

An owner of a business can put whatever they want to on the wall - what does it matter if it’s a flag or a skull? The whole point is to be human and find out - go have a conversation. To find out information. Don’t resort to Facebook like a coward and continue to be ignorant when the answer is right there.

That person in the Facebook post is way too old to be such a pansy.

Exactly. Anyone complaining about this can stick it up their perpetually offended a-hole. If we've moved to a point where you can't display the flag of defeated Nazis with a plaque and surrounding contextual items, we've lost our minds.

No one gives a frick about anything but looking for something to be offended about. When social media made being offended a currency, it incentivized the uneducated dipshits of the world to do this kind of shite. So now we have to sanitize and nerf the world so the people with the intellectual capability of a mosquito won’t be upset. We’ve reached a point in our advanced civilization where the dumbest people get to call the shots.
