View submission: How to fix a Swastika
As a white Buddhist I've just had to accept there is no possible way for me to reclaim it. No amount of context is ever going to put me in the clear.

We can start having the conversation about reclaiming it in 2045, when I am sure we’ll be done with all our nazi problems

At least no way to reclaim it in any of our lifetimes at least.
I have a feeling that the negative meanings are going to be a lot more personal to a lot more people in the coming years, but I would like nothing more than to be wrong.
