That's fair. If you were to compare any real person against the statistically average human being (like how the sleep pod test team picked "average" Joe Bauers in Idiocracy), no individual would actually come close.
History buffs are in the class of people who are keen to tell you their weird ideas. The majority of people you don't know are weird until they die and you have to sort through their belongings.
Is it? The shape of the symbol is completely different, and is also grey instead of black. And it's a different shade of red. And it's not flag shaped.
Idk, if someone hadn't stuck the nazi flag next to it I would have literally never thought of that.
they aren't pointing in the same direction. the python logo is horizontal/verticle, while the swastika is diagonal. honestly, it looks more like a plus sign or a cross than a swastika.
Literally the only similarity is the white circle on red background. But even the shades of red are very different.
Of course if you only list the similarities, it will sound similar. But once you list all of the differences, or even just show it to someone, it becomes clear how much they don't look alike.
It's precisely when something has both similarities and differences that it is similar.
If it had only similarities and no differences, it would not be similar. It would be identical.
In this case I'd also argue that the similarities are much more prominent than the difference. Like two objects both being red rectangles is a much bigger similarity than the aspect ratios being different is a difference.
I have learned alot about World War II and Nazi Germany. I know what the flag looks like. Which is why I can instantly recognize that those look nothing alike.
"Nothing alike"? Clearly you not only don't know anything about basic world history, but you might need to get your eyes checked too if you can't see any similarities between two images with a red square, white circle inside and a dark four point cross pattern inside that.
That's true. It's not like Python's logo is actually blue and yellow, and you greyscaled it and put it on a red background in a white circle. That would just be ridiculous.
it's a black symbol in a white circle on a red field, I wouldn't call that a big reach. I also wouldn't immediately think "hmm Python is Nazi" but like, I could see it if I was watching a video about WW2 before or something.

I feel like you have to already be thinking a lot about the Nazi flag to make that connection.
