I had to look it up, too. From Wikipedia, it’s a white nationalism flag.

This white power cross is a popular symbol amongst Europe's hardcore Nazis. It is molded after the Celtic cross, seeking to make an heritage issue of it.

Edit: links are hard.

I'm Welsh, dad did the family tree, goes back a proper long time, so probably a Celt. They're not my people, they can get in the sea.

It's cultural appropriation!

It's also, interestingly, the symbol that the Zodiac Killer used.
