We should take all things that fascists use to identify eachother and reclaim for good. Do not allow fascists to claim cultural ground or identify each other. Leave them with nothing.

The swatiska is a very cool looking symbol, and it being unusable for decades is a crime against design.

And it should be taken back, it has a beautiful history, and doesn't deserve to be owned by the scum of the earth.

in East Asia it has always been associated with religion and temples, not sure about south Asia where it came from

Nazi's only really used one style of swatiska. It's not too hard to differentiate if you don't knee jerk. Any Hindu and Navajo person really only needs to avoid one specific style.

Can you imagine being these guys as Nazism is talking root in Germany?

Vote Number One to Change the Team Name: No, fuck that! We came first, and those German assholes can't steal our cool symbol!

Vote Number Two, A Little Later: Okay, I think maybe we should go ahead and change the name of the team.

Behind the Bastards did a really good two parter on the history of the Swastika and similarly shaped symbols. It was used a crazy number of time before the Nazis took it.

I think a few of those are different enough you could probably use them, pretty sure I have seen something sweeping similar to the Chinese one before.

The dots help a lot. Just rotating it isn't enough.

I'd argue in the opposite direction. Can we turn cancerous un-fun heroes in games like Overwatch and League of Legends into Fascist symbols to get them deleted by the devs?

I mean imagine getting Teemo removed from League and 2XKO...
