in America, that’s not a very common symbol…
we don’t actually see a lot of white supremacists on the street though (they would get murked)

quite a few christian nationalists have adopted other crusader symbolism so i see it as a horrible, christian nationalist, invader/colonizer symbol… but i’ve never seen it associated with white supremacism…

my argument isn’t that it’s never used by white supremacists, it’s that it’s not an outright white supremacist symbol.
i’d call it a dog whistle, though.
