Yeah, that definitely looks to be a Swastika. Just gotta change the lines to make it look correct.

Is this a Nazi symbol? Of course it was used for many many years before Hitler decided to take it, but it is now known as a bad thing. |

"Swastika" means well-being, and it was meant as a positive thing before Hitler misused it. They were used as a lucky charm, and were thought to symbolize prosperity. Though many people link it to Nazis, its innaccurate to say that a swastika is a bad thing. Would be like condemning Kane, because one of the high school killing spree murderers wore a Kane mask. That isnt saying your wrong at all, because you're not, im just saying you CAN use a swastika in a positive way. |

well it was used as a symbol thousands of years ago for life since it looks like a never ending cycle.

Is this a Nazi symbol? It was more common for the Nazis to use the symbol with the ends pointed to the right, not to the left as your picture. But same as everyone else said, about the symbol being used long before Nazis. |

It's pretty much the same way that anyone flying the Confederate Flag is labled as a racist.

Swastikas are just not accepted in modern culture anymore. Anyone who tries to fly them around to say "Oh it used to not mean anything" knows a sh*t storm is coming with doing so and are seeking attention. It may not be "fair" but you have to appeal to the general public and do what society deans as normal. If you are pissed at it then blame Hitler.

I'm pretty sure the only thing that is viewed as offensive is a swastika cocked to the side like that on the Nazi German flag... as has stated before the Swastika in general has been used for years as a symbol of hope and prosperity.

U guys know jacksheet. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika In the Indosphere (South Asia, Greater India), the swastika remains ubiquitous as a symbol of wealth and good fortune. In India and Nepal, electoral ballot papers are stamped with a round swastika-like pattern (to ensure that the accidental ink imprint on the other side of a folded ballot paper can be correctly identified as such).[95] Many businesses and other organisations, such as the Ahmedabad Stock Exchange and the Nepal Chamber of Commerce,[96] use the swastika in their logos. The red swastika was suggested as an emblem of International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement in India and Sri Lanka, but the idea was not implemented.[97] Swastikas can be found practically everywhere in Indian and Nepalese cities, on buses, buildings, auto-rickshaws, and clothing. [edit] East Asia Swastikas continue to be widely used in Buddhist temples in China, and the symbol is most commonly associated with Buddhism. Japanese maps continue to use the swastika symbol to denote a Buddhist temple.[98] In Korea, maps also use the swastika symbol to denote a temple. The swastika is also a very common sight at both rural and urban Buddhist Temples. [edit] Central Asia In 2005, authorities in Tajikistan called for the widespread adoption of the swastika as a national symbol. President Emomali Rahmonov declared the swastika an Aryan symbol and 2006 to be "the year of Aryan culture," which would be a time to "study and popularize Aryan contributions to the history of the world civilization, raise a new generation (of Tajiks) with the spirit of national self-determination, and develop deeper ties with other ethnicities and cultures."[99] |
