Cult-like devotion to flags exists throughout history. This talk was triggered by the January 6 insurrectionists, many carrying flags and banners including the U.S.A.’s Stars and Stripes. I ask if you would revere the American flag when it is carried by a white supremacist or neo-Nazi? I refer to Black Sun, a 2002 book by Nicholas Goodricks-Clark who has extensively researched the occulture behind Nazism. I mention The Silver Legion, an overtly fascist group founded by William Dudley Pelley in the early 1930s. I indicate the origins and meaning of the swastika and how it emerged as the Nazi symbol. I discuss Odinism and it’s relevance to Nazi identity.
