Fascism looks a little different in Spain, as it did in Chile, as it did Italy, as it did in Britain.
Every nation seems to put their own spin on the iconography, and the iconography mutates further when it's driven underground.
I see what looks like the Francoist Falange symbol with a celtic cross over it, an a wheel of swastikas. Which looks more hindu/buddhist than fascist due to the rounded edges, which are very rare in fascist iconography.
People who lose their shit over swastikas are some of the worst of the smoothbrains, despite often being "highly educated."
I was in a jewelry shop in the ME and the person next to me saw a piece with swastikas around the edge and started making a big deal about it. I had to explain that one, we weren't in the west, and two, other countries see it as a symbol of good luck, or religion, no different than a four leaf clover or cross.
EDIT: And, since we were in the ME, I doubt very much that anyone there would have cared about the feelings of Jews.
Saw this first hand when I was in Japan, there's always a few tourists who flipped their shit at a temple. Americans and Germans were the typical nationality to make a scene. Some others made odd faces or looked shocked but either moved on away from them or asked an English speaking guide about them.
The cross with arrows? Kinda. Up facing arrows (usallly slanted to the right) has been used by Fascist groups in the past and the Celtic cross was coopted by skinheads as well. The swastikas interlinked I've seen before in Indian Buddhist and Hindu temples, always as floor or wall tiles in the more ornate ones.
Is that weird symbol actually a fascist symbol? Looks like it could be a game icon or band icon, anything really
"Everything I don't like is fascism! Now ignore those of us over here using the fascist playbook!"
