Seeing a pattern on its own is fine. The reason the meme turns into a racist dog whistle is the fact that the person was banned for it.
Something innocent like amogus (which is most commonly used in the meme) doesn't result in a community ban.
I'll be honest, I have no idea how this is related to Nazis in any way at all.
It's gaining popularity again right now because of the Chatbot Grok who has been using it.
The Nazi part is that the pattern seen is how "Jews are always in charge when something bad happens" or when grok said that it could tell someone was evil because they had a Jewish sounding last name and it was able to pick up on the pattern.
"The pattern" is just an obfuscation of classic neo-nazi talking points and is kinda like the Nazi version of "just asking questions" where something that seems entirely innocent on its face has a hidden, much darker, meaning underneath it if you look into it literally at all.
Ah okay that makes more sense, thanks for the explanation.
