Did you watch the video yet?

Such an awesome video. I just hope the majority of people will see this and understand that by calling it only a hate symbol is like letting Hitler still affect us all. The lies and stigma must stop so that we can see the truth of so much deceit and hypocrisy in our past that so many hold onto like fools.

It’s humanity’s symbol. Got one tattooed on my arm for my son.

Swastik is the symbol of peace and good luck.

But the thing to note is Hitler (and Germany) used the word 'Hakenkreuz' for the symbol. But for some reason, the west took the Indian Sanskit word "Swasthika" to describe the symbol later. That's what casued all the confusions. Now the west is against any Swasthika type symbols. Even Japaneese Animes are changing the designs because the white westerners get mad if they use an alphabet in their language! If the west just used 'Hakenkreuz' to describe the exact Nazi symbol and made it illegal, then it's not a problem.

In the U.S we are more concerned about if a symbol or image offends someone than what the real history of it is or the context in which it’s used, the Swastika is the greatest example of that.

This isn't an evil symbol, this is a symbol of good luck and hope

Great video. Just to educate you a little more on its origin and meaning. It is an ancient Vedic symbol representing the 4 ages that man encounters between ascension and descention. It is a Hindu symbol and was adopted by the far east through Buddhism, as Gautama Buddha was himself hindu. We are currently in Kali Yuga, or the age of the demon Kali, where righteousness is at its lowest. Hence, it seems to lack no irony that it was stolen by the Nazzis and now not accepted for it's original meaning. Germany has been forgiven for its past, but us Hindus have still not been given our symbol back due to the ignorance of people on the swastikas origin.

One problem: Thor and Mjölnir are Norse, not Celtic.

When unaccompanied by hateful context, it is a spiritual symbol or pattern. The ✝️ symbol, among other symbols, has likewise been appropriated by brutal, repressive regimes. No one stops using the ✝️ symbol because of its usage by bigoted, violent regimes of old

I was in a tattoo shop in the American midwest and two guys from India came in and one of them wanted a tattoo and it included the 卐 woven throughout. The tattoo person helping was unsure how to proceed. It made for a pretty interesting 5 minutes of ppl watching!

Totally agree, first time I saw the swastika as anything else than a Nazi symbol was tattooed onto the shoulder of a fit Chinese man.. It really made me thing.. WHAT THE... I mean the guy didnt look like a Nazi.. It made me go home that night and do some research.. I had known the Roman Catholic Church used it, but had not known much else..

Swastika is a Sanskrit word that literally translates to "Well Being" in English.

As many might already know, Germany can be very strict regarding censorship of nazi ideology and imagery, like the Hakenkreuz, outside of educational contexts, so even though this is not supposed to include any of the other forms of the swastika used throughout the world and history, being born and living there, I've seen many cases where localizations of foreign media depicting the symbol (as you said, it's pretty much as ubiquitous as the spiral, star or simple cross, so it's no wonder it's everywhere in media and pop culture too, especially outside the west) were overly cautious and either removed or changed the symbol, or anything remotely resembling it even, to avoid even the slightest chance of being accused of depicting the Hakenkreuz; some examples - mostly manga/anime bc that's where I usually encountered this - include Whitebeard's Flag from One Piece, Manji's emblem from Blade of the Immortal, and multiple Pokemon TCG cards. The regulations have become more lenient recently as far as I know, and typically they'd let it pass as long as it's clear from the context that it's not nazi related (ex. like on that buddha statue), but localization teams still seem to tread carefully

Hitler never called his symbol as "Swastika", its just some Western white Christians & NY Times, after Hitler's death who wanted to disown Hitler as a white western Christian & started calling Naazi symbol "Hukencruz" in German or "Hooked Cross" in English as a "Swastika".

It's not from Buddhism, but from Hinduism, the oldest religion,

Latvian people call it the fire sign, we use it as a mark of the thunder god Perkunas or pērkons, we have two variations - one that goes with the wind, and one that goes against it. the swasterka moving towards the right, against the wind, symbolises warriors and going against the flow, and the swasteka facing the other dirrection symbolises going with the wind, going with the flow.(i think...)

The end belike:

Excellent explanation of a lost symbol of fortune and good, that has been dis represented by evil.

Thank you for this somewhat Educational Video.
