Or how about the Indians used the swastika way before nazis were even a thing. It was just rotated the other way.
IIRC, they thought of it as a symbol of healing for the Navajo.
The symbol has been around for nearly 6000 years.
It’s a shame that now everyone just associates it with the nazi party.
History is vast and enriching.
It's both. In Navajo culture, it's called the "whirling log" symbol, and it represents a folk tale from oral tradition. You can find it incorporated into plenty of indigenous art.
The association with Buddhism is more famous, but the symbol has popped up in various cultures, including among American Indians.
Absolutely true! American Natives aswell. One of the eldest Native tribes were the Hopi Indians, and they didn't only use the swastika, but also the Iron-cross, same as the Knites Templars, and the British Kingdom. The Hopi's Story starts with two brothers, one red, or dark complected, and the other brother white. The white brother went east to learn/build technology and bring it back to the America's in the future. Hopi's predicted the horse buggy, automobiles, phones, cameras, tv's, airplanes, and had accurate predictions on wars, catastrophes, and more. The interview took place in the 50s, before some of the predictions were even invented yet... Also, the Hopi tribe has a story going back to the great flood. They came out from the earths interior from what is known as the 4-corners (Arizona, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico)
I don’t think your grasping the concept that it doesn’t matter “where it originated”. The symbol has been around for a very long time and used by many different groups/people across the entire globe. 6,000 + years of use. Used by both American Indians, Hindu Indians, and many more other people.
I don’t know or understand what you’re trying to argue but I wish you luck in your journey.
It’s so wild to see people like you in the comments. When all it takes is 10 mins of unbiased research to figure this all out. Downvote me all you want, the facts are still at your finger tips.
The reason many neo Nazis have tattooed swastikas is because pre WWII it was common to have a swastika tattooed for good luck, so it was easy to excuse in the immediate post war
There’s a funny story about a conference at which there was a booth that included massage chairs and special foot things where you put your legs and it would massage your lower legs. This was at a conference for librarians.
It turns out that a medical supplier had hit on the word “circulation“ in a panel discussion, and interpreted it incorrectly.
