alt Hacker NewsA lot of the aesthetic and the "9" in a circle seems inspired by Death in June, who have similar Nazi-adjacent imagery, sans-serif text over reappropriate historical photos and use "6" as an icon similarly
It seems really weird and misplaced for OSS

The 9 in a circle was inspired by a meme about Cirno of Touhou fame; in the manual for Phantasmagoria of Flower Garden, she is labeled "⑨ バカ", hence the memes about her being kind of stupid and having the ⑨ as her personal symbol.

Or maybe ask Ori Bernstein (the contributor of gefs for 9Front) if he see that too, or maybe you are just an incredible hypocrite.
Hey 9Front! See what your wannabe LGBTQ/Palestine/Wokerism/BLM-flattery does? You get yourself into a Purity Test of insanity, and you can only please those people if you take their exact and most extreme position.
mentally I associate all that stuff with the punk/hardcore/post-punk thing rather than nazis anyway -- but all those groups were known for copying nazi aesthetic in a mocking tone.
pil, 7 seconds, dead kennedies, black flag, husker du, bad religion, bad brains, off, crass -- everyone in the 70s and 80s had a band logo that would've looked just fine on a red arm band.
thinking about it, kinda sucks the nazi got the branding and aesthetic permanently attributed to them , the punks have been employing it for way longer -- and I like them.
