can this image be used as a flag?

Wait if people could use flags with trump hair or a red white and blue elephant on there flag why can't he use this.... It's both of these symbols are used by varey simmuler groups right?

No.

Not at all.

Since this is moderation and not NSG, I will not expound on the fact how the NSDAP and the modern Republican party are vastly different, it suffices to say that they are.

I've been contemplating making a puppet based upon esoteric ariosophy, what symbols are permissible? Are all Armanen runes forbidden for example? Essentially what constitutes a swastika dodge? Given that I am looking for far-right symbols although I'm looking for ones that aren't known for their association with Nazism.

Is the OP's particular hypothetical banned because of its resemblance to the Nazi swastika? I remember some months ago the flaming grenade symbol of the Croatian Nazi-aligned "Ustasha" was ruled as being legal due to its relative lack of infamy compared to other fascist groups.

And since when are "swastika dodges" banned? Neo-Nazis (and, because of the swastika ban, fash on NS) have used the Odal rune and Wolfsangel (among other symbols) as swastika dodges for years.

The lack of action against a flag does not mean it's allowed. The mods cannot monitor the flag of every nation. If you believe a nation's current flag is an attempt to evade a rule, please report it through GHR.
If you claim to be religious but don’t control your tongue, you are fooling yourself, and your religion is worthless. Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you. | Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’ But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.’
James 1:26-27, Matthew 7:21-23

It's hard to say without seeing the flag in question. Ergo, we don't rule on hypotheticals.
