"Are you sure you're not Hindu?
Because that the only reason I can think of for you to be so pro swastika."

In reality, I'm more anti-bigotry than pro-swastika. But I can see how a bigot like you can't distinguish between those two things.

This thread looks more like a failed attempt to normalize the use of the Escalator by hate groups in the US.

You seemed to have confused me with someone else. I'm an Agnostic Fundamentalist, not a Christian.

"Historically speaking, 100 years ago is yesterday... and we are still seeing the effects of Nazism rising again in the US and Germany, among others."

All the more reason to remind people that their misappropriation of the symbol is an aberration, just like Daesh's use of Islamic symbols does not represent all of Islam. Likewise, Jewish people shouldn't have to practice their religion in the closet just because one of their symbols is associated with the flag of Israel.

"We already knew that prior to your private war to make us know that."

It's funny, because I hardly ever bring this up anymore, except in response to people who constantly bring up swastikas in threads which have nothing to do with them. But since you guys love bringing the topic up all the time, I'm happy to keep educating you about it and share new news articles to "dilute" people's ignorance.

"the modern meaning most often associated with the swastika for almost 100 years since it made world headlines and came represent **** Germany"

It's not modern at all. Like you say, it's almost 100 years since the misappropriation happened. It seems like you and other want to validate that misappropriation and ignorant association. Why else would you become so hostile to any factual information about how the original meaning of the symbol is still in use in many cultures today?

"Why is God killing all the babies!!?!?!?!"

I don't anthropomorphize God, so I can't answer that.

"this thread looks more like a failed attempt to normalize the use of the Swatiska by hate groups in the US."

That's totally baseless, just like most of your alias' observations about others on this site. I've condemned those who misappropriated the symbol many times.

"Colonialism and Imperialism already did that."

You're actively being a part of an extension of those things when you promote the hakenkreuz as the primary definition of a swastika and try to impose it on everyone everywhere. You're exemplifying the same type of ignorance and xenophobia that you regularly call out the MAGAs for every day here.

"And the idea that the swastika is just an Asian thing?"

Never said it was, but it still continued to be used ubiquitously after WWII and into the present day there. Most European countries have already ceded the symbol to the bastardized version, so in the present context this is about trying to impose Europe's culture on the rest of the world and invalidating the majority of the culture on the planet. If that's not white supremacy, then nothing is.

Maybe it's time for you to grow up and accept you live in a global society and stop promoting Asian hate. I'm sure the little Austrian would have been proud of you for giving credence to his perverted version of the symbol and helping him to eradicate all the cultures that used it independently both before and after his little blip of existence.

They said the same things about infanticide and slavery for centuries. Don't like it? Then don't partake in it and mind your own business.

About 96% of abortions are done for elective, non-medical reasons.

"If you believe abortion = death,"

you believe in science and biology.

"Miscarriage rates among all fertilized zygotes are around 30% to 50%."

That's like comparing natural deaths to homicides in adults.

13th century spinning whorl with swastika symbols discovered in Norway

Korean rapper Kim Namjoon, leader of the band BTS, found himself at the center of an unexpected controversy on January 1, 2025, after a photo of him in his military uniform surfaced online.

This incident highlights the challenges of cultural misunderstanding in a globalized world. Despite the initial backlash, many fans hope this moment will encourage others to explore the true significance of symbols like the swastika in their original contexts.

If she specifically directed it at Bezos, then this just dumb. Bite the hand that feeds you and then go into histrionics mode when told no? This is loser behavior by someone who apparently wants to be a "victim".

This is so ------- stupid. One of the reasons Democrats failed to hold Trump accountable for the things he did do is because they wasted all their energy and focus on things he "might" do. It's hard to believe this isn't the work of a mole operaton.

Eggs are 7 for a dollar here. "Organic" ones about 4 for a dollar.

Well, that was a nothing burger.
