View submission: How to fix a Swastika

View parent comment

Well newsflash, what you call Nazi swastika is actually Christian cross.

Nazis used to call it Hakenkreuz, which means hooked cross. They never called the symbol as Swastika. Western translators did it because they didn't want cross to be associated with Nazis, so they besmirched a Hindu/ Buddhist/ Jain symbol.

Hope you'll give up on cross now. Sucks that the cross had a beautiful meaning before it was taken over by evil, but it was, and that matters.
