I think about hanging a N Korea flag.
99+% won’t know what it is.
Probably think it is Confederate.
Same if she had hung up the flag of Islam.
And it is highly reminiscent of the Nazi flag. Completely agree with your other points too.
Well, there’s another good idea.
I didn’t mention Cuba, Venezuela, and North Korea on my list.
I didn’t mention Mao and communist China either.
Thank you TigersEye.
Nobody. The people making the threats aren’t going to do a damn thing. And she got the flag sold, hopefully. Good for her.
I have a Nazi ceremonial SS dagger my father brought home from his WWII service under Gen Patton. It’s in my display case at home and people think it’s cool.
Anybody that doesn’t like it can KMA.
Henry Ford, not Brave New World.

Come to think of it, I built an Me-109E model when I was a kid. It had swastika decals. Oh noes!
People shoot each other over chicken nuggets.
Yeah, the bloodied Soviet Flag and pictures of Che? No problem with those. So next the flag of Scotland and all the Scandinavian Flags because they have crosses and people are offended by crosses? Funny, the Japanese flags aren’t a problem? The people who complained fought where during WW II, were they even alive? I guess I can’t even see a Confederate sword at that shop now. The new Nazi flag is the Antifa one. They should stop selling them along with the ISIS ones.

If I were going to sell such a flag, I would not unfurl it and hang it on a wall. I would fold it up and put it in a display case. I would not want to be confused with anyone who would display that flag proudly. As a war prize, it is priceless. As a display flag, it could be easily offensive.
I could have written the same thing.
I also have a stamp collection with swastikas on many of the stamps. The collection was amassed by my great-grandfather who died before they could kill him. His wife and one of his daughter's families wasn't quite so fortunate.

Excellent solution.
That’s exactly why the leftists are trying to get rid of all these things and not teach real history in schools.
The Union Jack should trigger me...and yet it doesn’t.
I agree. Things like this are historical items for most people, not something they’d have because they believe in it. It’d be a great conversation piece...lest we forget.
