Interesting that swatsicars didn't show up in Google searches. I guess we have to keep searching Google.

The Nazis didn't use the 'Swastika' per se, they used a specific type of swastika called the hooked cross or hakenkreuz. Calling the Nazi cross a swastika brings confusion and disrespects many cultures where the symbol has a meaning diametrically opposite to that of nazi ideology.

Indeed. Most people don't know what a real Swastika is because of Nazi fuckheads. They don't deserve to be able to continue using the term.

You make a very good point that i have not considered yet. Thank your for bringing this to attention.

I've been practicing dharmic religion for many years. Swastikas are used pretty heavily in dharmic spirituality to represent wisdom, or divinity, or the sun. I understand and have even used the symbol for its intended meaning.
