If your standard is a Nazi flag nearby means everyone is a Nazi then if some random person came to a rally or protest that you support you would consider yourself a Nazi right?
It's not even an actual Nazi flag either.

Someone used a red marker to draw a swastika on a Canadian flag. Big difference. I suspect it is being shared in such a way to make unengaged readers think that it was a bona-fide Third Reich banner.
