Why we should RECLAIM the Swastika

[Deleted]

http://reclaimtheswastika.com/

The swastika is an ancient symbol present in numerous and diverse cultures around the world, including the cultures of India, Asia, the Middle East, Europe and North America.

In India, the swastika has thousands of years of history and still retains its place of pre-eminence among the sub-continent's spiritual symbols. It remains one of the most prominent spiritual symbols in Hinduism, Jainism and Buddhism, and is found adorning temples and religious shrines throughout Asia.

After its misuse by the Nazis, it became associated with murder and oppression on a scale never before witnessed on this earth. For this reason, in Europe, for many millions, the swastika came to symbolise evil. There arose, as a result of this, a move to ban the swastika.

This website is dedicated to "reclaiming the swastika" - to sharing information that reveals its long and varied history and the spiritually deep meaning that underlies it. For, if we allow the swastika to remain forever distorted, then those responsible will have won.

This has been an ongoing discussion since day one in the antifa cell of my town. I understand opposition, but pretty much like every nazi official name, I think the time has come to reclaim the names, symbols, and memories those fascist pigs stole by association.

The swastika is a millenial symbol. It is a symbol of peace and tranquility. We can, and should reclaim it to nazis. Strip them of their "identity" and give it back to the people it belong to. That racist cultural appropriation ends now.

You can support this by spreading awareness on facebook and social media. I know its maybe too early to ask you to adopt it yet. I personally am not afraid.

Thanks for your open mindedness.

You need to reclaim pepe first.

So good that it doesn't need to be reclaimed here in Asia, it's quite widely used in religious context here.

However, it's always fun to watch poorly educated non-Asians, Asians who're born and/or grew up elsewhere and brainwashed Asians being offended by it

This was a tshirt company marketing idea. It didn't go well. Attempting to profit of a Nazi associated symbol isn't a swell plan.

'The Auschwitz Memorial Museum even vocalized their aversion to the designs. "You will not escape from the fact that [the] swastika was turned by Nazis into a symbol of racism, hate, antisemitism and mass murder," the museum said in a statement.

Your avatar is stupid as is this idea. Grim. Some fucking commy antifa you are lmao :

It's far too late, make up a new symbol and just let it go already. It is firmly associated with the deadliest war in human history and nothing is going to change that, get over it.

That's all well and good for those parts of Asia who were not involved in World War 2 (because, i'm sorry to put it bluntly, they had absolutely no power in the world) but for all those countries that were, the swastika is linked to the deaths of over 70 million people.

Weren't there the same thread here like month ago?

If you have it at an angle, you're not "reclaiming" anything, you're a Nazi. The traditional Buddhist symbol is not angled.

I would hope that the OP isn't this terribly demented, and is just a long-term troll. Unfortunately, that may not be the case.

Maybe that person supports the Dodgers, meaning you apparently support peaceful Nazism.

The problem with your avatar is that the pre-Nazi swastika is displayed flat like a square, whereas yours is displayed on its corner, which is how the Nazis displayed it.

Also, 'reclaiming the swastika' is something that I can understand one level, but really, it's just too controversial, especially whilst combatants of the war and victims of the Nazis are still alive.

A nazi from France... now I've seen everything. How about you fuck off and explain your parents that you wish Nazi Germany had won the war.

That was my point, which is apparently invalid because I don't play for the Dodgers.
