I use swastikas to keep away the Rakshasa.
Better safe than sorry.

Whatever it’s orientation, whatever it’s pre-Nazi history, ....the fact that TENS OF MILLIONS WERE MURDERED under that symbol—in living memory—should cause us to give pause.

People are right to be upset at the owners of this store.

The “Hakencreutz” (German for Swastika, meaning “hooked cross”) has, and rightly should have, a permanent evil association to it—at least outside of the historic Indian or Navajo context.

Also: check out the swastika in the center of each of these 1917 Bolshevik banknotes.

Of course in these cases the swastika is the same swastika as that used by the Nazis - not a harmless Buddhist or Amerind symbol. The German National Socialists were a subset of the monstrous Left Wing Totalitarianism that engulfed much of the world in the 20th Century.
