Yeah, it's a compass rose. No relation at all to the Swastika as far as I'm aware. They probably picked it for the nautical connotations of North Atlantic Bla blah blah.
Not that the symbol is some secret secret "i told you "
but one still should "know some things" about NATO

NATO is a deeply fascist organization , where you think Anti Communist get "recruited from" in 1940's ?
Yeah we can be mad about them for bombing hospitals without pretending them riffing on the compass rose is actually them failing to suppress the need for Third Reich symbology.
And we can point out stuff like operation Bloodstone, Gladio, and the ties between the remains of the SS, West Germany, and early NATO. Talking about the resemblance between the NATO flag and the swastika is some real wingnut numerology weak sauce.
resemblance between the NATO flag and the swastika
Apart from the lack of it.
The dark diamonds make a somewhat convincing backwards swastika if you're already looking for it, the intersecting mid angles are a giveaway
Yeah and if you add up all the angles the number comes out to the name of god.
We do not, in fact, need to do this.
I think they mean the negative space on the star, but yeah it's a huge reach.
Wasn't one of the former heads of NATO like an SS officer?

and these aren't just random wehrmacht draftees (not that it would make it any better). Heusinger was in the room with Hitler when the failed assassination attempt was carried out against him by Claus von Stauffenberg
Wow, so every head of NATO from 67 to 83. Even more than I expected. I knew comrades here would have a list ready
-
NATO and the post war western intelligence services were just a who's who of the Abwehr, SS, and various other fascist intelligence services. Which does not mean the NATO compass rose is a swastika.
Its not, but a nazi inder any other symbol is still a nazi
Oh don’t just stop there comrade https://youtu.be/1WFbTZ6rnXo

It's totally a coincidence that like many other neo-nazis, "former" white nationalist Richard Spencer, who now pretends to be a "moderate", and simps for Biden, has the NATO logo as his Twitter profile header.
No it's not. The Nazi Aligned Terror Organization is the central organizing body of the liberal branch of international fascism. But their flag has nothing to do with the Swastika.
You can tell they dropped the populism/mass movement from their political project because the flags blue now instead of red
Yes, it's a swastika for the purpose of shitposting.
No, nobody actually tried to hide a Nazi symbol in there like some Dan Brown novel.
