swastika

Quite possibly the coolest symbol ever drawn but that asshole Hitler had to take it and it is now associated with Nazism. That sucks incredibly because if I ever wanted to have a symbol for whatever organization I had I would choose that but I guess that Hitler thought the same thing so now if I draw it (because it is fun to draw) everyone calls me a nazi.

Stupid Nazis had to take the swastika geez why couldn't they have chosen something stupid like a circle with a penis in it or something.

swastika

An ancient symbol in Eastern cultures to represent peace. Then Hitler came back and the dfinition of the swastika did a 180.

The different between the traditional swastika and the infamous Nazi symbol is that Hitler put his version at a 45 degree angle.

swastika

Although it is commonly believed the swastika originates from Hindu and Indian culture, there is also evidence that it was used by ancient Aryan/Indo-Eurpoean tribes as a symbol of the Sun; the Sun being a subject of worship by the ancient tribes.

It is not unnatural that the swastika was a significant symbol in both Indo-European and Sanskrit cultures sinse the two had a considerable amount of ties.

It also seems logical that Hitler would use a symbol connected to Aryan culture.

There are still uncertainties as to where exactly Hitler acquired his idea of the swastika.

swastika

was actually a hindu symbol of peace until that bitch adolf hitler took it, flipped it in a different direction, and claimed it was his. He took a great symbol and made it one of death and destruction

Whoever thinks the swastika is a nazi symbol is an idiot.
Whoever thinks the swastika is a hindu symbol is smart.

swastika

Most commonly known to represent the nazis.

For over 3000 years it meant happiness, good luck, and harmony... this was Hitler's ideal. So he used it to represent what was to become of the National Socialist German
Workers' Party. Of course, this ideal Hitler had required conquest, and the swastika was used in their flag.
It has thus come to represent the nazis, the holocaust, and even to some extent WWII.

This is what the native Americans called it, but its German name was Hakenkreuz.

swastika

A really pretty symbol, which is also fun to draw. In ancient times, it was used all over the world as a symbol of good luck and prosperity.

If I had an organization, then I would totally use a swastika as the symbol of it. But it turns out Hitler beat me to it.

So now the swastika has the exact opposite meaning of what it used to be- except for some random white supremacists.

Sometimes I just don't know about that Adolf.

Me: I love drawing swastikas- they're so pretty!

Jew: I HATE YOU, you Nazi!!

Me: Up yours!!

Jew: *sobs and runs away*

swastika

A symbol which was and still is used my Nazi and Neo Nazi groups. The symbol is commonly mistaken for the sign of peae and prosperity used within the Hindu belife. This is a misconception because where as the shapes may be identical, the Swatika is flipped vertically and rotated 45 degrees.

The Nazi's arm patch portrayed a swatika and eagle.
