They should update their name to "Swastikabutnotthatkindofswastika", or just "Notthatkindofswastika" for short.

In Hinduism it's not a Nazi thing.
From what I saw, they say it was named after the Hindu symbol, not the Nazi one.

"Michael Alcamo lives in New York City but loves cycling through the Adirondack Mountains in northern New York, with their tiny towns and hamlets and historical cemeteries.
He was on a trip like this, winding through a remote stretch this summer, when he noticed something else, a small brown street sign with the name "Swastika."
At a time when symbols and place names with links to white supremacy are being debated across the U.S., Alcamo found the name of the unincorporated hamlet he had crossed into unsettling.
"So the effect was just jarring and profoundly, I thought, disrespectful," he said, especially to the veterans of World War II with graves nearby.
"I think it should be obvious that the town should update its name and should pick a name that is not so offensive to so many Americans and so emblematic of intolerance, hate and tyranny," he said.
So Alcamo reached out to county officials in August to see if they would consider it. He was soon directed to email the town of Black Brook, a town of about 1,500 residents with jurisdiction over Swastika.
Article continues after sponsor message
The town agreed to add it to their agenda for their meeting this month. And after five minutes of discussion at their Sept. 14 meeting, the town's four councilors unanimously voted against it.
"Swastika was named by the founders of the area who settled there," said Jon Douglass, Black Brook's supervisor, who was at the meeting but didn't have a vote.
None of the councilors returned a request for comment.
Douglass says the hamlet's name far predates World War II and came from the Sanskrit word meaning well-being. The four-sided geometric character that represents the swastika has been used for thousands of years in Indian religions and seen as a symbol of good luck."
link npr article
It has meaning for them, and it predated world war one and two by a lot.
Honestly it's pretty messed up that someone bicycling through tries to make them change their name.
Anyway.
Maybe the way it was portrayed here was a little loaded, or not maybe. Definitely.

I think they just enjoy being contrarian with this tradition. Why not rename it to one of the many other words that mean well-being? It's like using the word "niggardly" to describe a stingy person so that you can tell people that the origins of the word are completely separate from those of the word "nigger". Which is true, but it's still an asshole move.

while i can see where you're coming from with this, you have to remember - america is a country made up of cultures from across the entire world. when you reject other people's cultures like this, make them feel unwelcome, it results in conflict and massive problems down the line, leading to racism, inequality, and well... you can see the kettle boiling as we speak in the black lives matter movements, the way many cops treat minorities different from whites, and the massive difference in standard of living between whites and non-whites.
this is all because america does not welcome it's minorities, does not make them feel welcome and learn to understand their culture while teaching our own. instead we force our own culture down their throats and expect them to bend to our will, demand they learn our language, and don't even offer much of a helping hand. heck, many do the opposite - calling them derogatory names, refusing to give them jobs, or...worse.
if this was a family adoption, child protection services would come knocking at our door along with the cops to arrest us for child abuse. immigrants are like those adopted children - they may be difficult to understand at first, but bonds of love, while difficult to cultivate, are even stronger than bonds of blood, and the most worthwhile bonds you can possess.

I think it's more like Emerson and Thoreau, getting into Indian stuff..
This is also just an outsider though.
I think the central points are, this had nothing to do with Nazism, it was named long time ago.
I would say it's a little bowing to the people who co-opted the symbol to try to change the name. It clearly means a lot to them.
It's unfortunate that all this happened, but I think the main thing is, if you change it you're really allowing the people who co-opted it, yeah, Nazism and the whole schebang, to win the day.
It's a sacred, holy symbol in Hinduism. We've seen it primarily associated with other things, but that's because of our distance, geographically, from India.
The bottom line is, they named the town based on a symbol which to them means well-being, etc.

it does mention that the hamlets name predates WWII, and that the name has meaning for the residents. whether they're hindu or not doesn't really matter - it's part of the towns culture. i can understand that fully, living here in the upper penninsula of michigan - there's an entire culture dedicated to the UP. you can buy merchandise of all sorts, from necklaces to candy, licence plates to clothing... EVERYTHING you can think of. all of it related to the "yooper" lifestyle.
i think one thing the town could maybe do is use this as an "education" moment - perhaps having a sort of installation or such that helps to show and explain the difference between the swastika of peace and the corrupted symbol the nazis used - a way to both educate people on the history of hinduism and also educate people on the history of WWII as well, as many americans are woefully lacking on information of both. it could serve as not only as a source of information, but if done right, it could serve as a tourist attraction for the town, benefiting the residents.

I agree with you in general, but the whole "its a hindu symbol" thing is a myth.
it is part of hinduism but the historical fact is that the Aryan tribes passed it on to the tribes in the area where hindus now use the symbol. One of the central sites of the early Aryan tribes was in the ukraine, where they attached spiritual significance to the naturally occuring flames at gas vents in the rock. the earliest known depictions of the symbol occur there. far older than any in the hindu regions. It is an ancient Aryan symbol and that context is the context in which the NSDAP chose to use the symbol.
to say it is a "stolen" or "corrupted" hindu symbol is simply not true.
Now Im not going to say that I back Hitler's philosophy, but as a history nerd Im well aware of how they saw the symbol, and it wasnt "corrupted" or a sign of anything involving supremacy etc. They viewed it the same way their ancient Aryan ancestors did. to just put it in the context of " bad people use symbol, this mean symbol bad and corrupt" is lower than elementary.

It’s not uncommon to see swastika patterns displayed albeit in a hidden manner in decor or floor patterning. Though it may take awhile, I d be willing to bet the swastika will out live the current prejudice against it.

EVERYTHING you can think of. all of it related to the "yooper" lifestyle.
Yoopers!! I know all about Yoopers. Just about all of my Dad's side of the family is in Michigan not far from the Upper Peninsula. I think it would be cool to get a cabin up there someday in the UP.
I had a roomate from the Upper Peninsula when I was in fl. One of the nicest people I've ever met.

Symbol and word are not always the same. The word comes from Sanskrit and especially as this was what they said, it makes sense.
It's also in Buddhism and Jainism, but yes it appears to be from Indo European origin.
However, anything over 11,000 years is going to be muddy.
I would say it appears we agree on the main points.

Insanity here as ever.
That area was named in the 1800s. The Nazi party didn't adopt it as a symbol until 1920. There is no relation.
The symbol is ancient and was used in both cases based on this heritage. Why would you allow one group to appropriate it for perpetuity?
The swastika also happens to be a Navajo symbol for good luck, also translated to "whirling log". The symbol was used on state road signs in Arizona. Navajo were actually key to the US WW2 war effort, should we tell them to change their symbolism?

I was just clarifying because I get sick of EVERYTHING white people do or use being accused of being stolen from somewhere else. its pure propaganda and not supported by any history outside of marxist creative writing passed off as history. The whole "this symbol was stolen from hindus" is just one piece of that idiotic puzzle, and it pisses me off when people disrespect the spiritual paths of my ancestors because its hip and cool to talk shit about europeans and be a self hating loser in 2020. The symbol derives from my ancestors and I am more or less bound to ensure that at the least, this is brought up when the opposing lie is brought up.
no personal attack on you, just speaking my piece on the subject for anyone reading the thread.

where do you guys live?
i live in NY, and actually it's quite common for houses on the outskirts of cities, outskirts of suburbia, in more rural areas, to fly german flags instead of american flags. now, that's not a swastika... maybe it's a NY thing. i haven't spent enough time in any other state besides jersey to really know.
also, just to raise the point, that swastika that is allegedly a hindu or buddhist symbol can be seen in architecture that predates those cultures; for example, the temple at baalbek in lebanon. that is greek/roman/persian territory and the structures were built in egyptian times.
edit: i shouldn't say "predate" since i'm sure it would be debated that the upanishads predated everyone else or something. there was probably a regular exchange of "stuff" via travelers anyway.
check out baalbek:

If you don’t like the town of Swastika, don’t fucking go there, don’t do business with people there. Why do people suddenly have a problem with it now, and demand that the residents change the name to suit others that don’t live there? The residents should vote on it, and if they decide to keep the name everybody else needs to fuck off.

ukraine is the earliest known representation of the symbol, at the site of early aryan tribes. it is undoubtedly an aryan symbol that migrated to other cultures.

There's some confusion about the Aryan migrations because some current Indian movements seek to separate their history from colonial archeology, because early European archeologists misinterpreted quite a bit early on and because the Nazis used some of these early misinterpretations and ran with them to form its own mythological identity. Not to mention how long ago the migrations were and how mixed up they get with Indian mythology.
A Neolithic group called the Aryans did migrate into North India 3500 - 4000 years ago, and did have an effect on the bronze age culture that had already been established in the continent. The vast majority of these migrants were male according to DNA evidence, and brought their language with them into India.
Easy to get lost in the sauce when interpretations and semantics involved have political ramifications for some groups. A lot is semantic.
A large part of some groups of Indians desiring to completely separate from the idea is Europeans in the early part of the 20th century claiming some sort of direct lineage to Aryan civilizations (English, Germans and others), interpreting modern Indians as distinctly non-Aryan themselves, and other mismanaged interpretations over the centuries.

this is not even remotely historically accurate. pure revisionist anti-white propaganda.
Professor Jorjani has torn this idiocy to shreds so many times.
One slice of this enormous pie is the red hair gene.. directly descended from the scythians. The irish LITERALLY use a cognate of the word ARYAN for their name for themself, Erinne. Explain that away with a connection as vague and ancient as you propose. It simply isnt real. Western and Northern Europe is as Aryan as it gets. Explain to me why the only two people in the world that have the red hair gene, both identify themselves as aryan, and have statistically significant amount of linguistic cognates.. you cant without admitting that there is a direct connection of migration. Have you ever looked at Aryans from the modern day Imperium (Iran) ... any single one of them could put on Irish style clothes and pass in Ireland, or put on american style clothes and pass in Boston, etc. The only thing that distinguishes us is their light tan, which for liking in the desert is VERY light most of the time. Im not even gonna get in to the green eyes thing, this post is already too long.
Most people are scared to pop this topic or to defend ourselves, because of something you mentioned.. the lie that the NSDAP used fake history to create its philosophy.. it is a setup so that anyone that defends our history s Aryans is lumped in with the big bad "nazi"'s.. a very shallow attempt to stop Aryans from calling ourselves by our proper name or defending our history against the waves of anti-aryan revisionist history. this often backfires, as is being seen in generation Z and their bloom in neo-nazism (which i think is silly for the record.. trying to imitate exactly, a movement long dead from another era is idiotic) it backfires because when you are not a nazi and are repeatedly called, or it is repeatedly implied that you are, simply for being Aryan and not spoon eating the anti-white propaganda.. it leads to people researching the actual NSDAP.. a quick read of Mein Kampf reveals that 99% of what is said about Hitler and what he believed is actually total and blatant bullshit thus leading to a more solidified understanding of how ever since world war 2, there has been a major revisionist push to destroy Aryan history. Doesnt matter if you agree with him or not, a quick read of his work shows a philosophy not even reminiscent of what you are taught in school or the history channel about his work, and the philosophy of the NSDAP... which means the revisionist history is exactly that: revisionist propaganda. It teaches one to recognize an agenda at play, and move forward in ones research with that in mind.
Indians can say whatever they want to try to take ownership of Aryan history, its no less ridiculous than Black Nationalists going around in circles with mental gymnastics trying to somehow prove that everything important was invented by backs and white people just stole it and lied. Its just outright silly, and is low level propaganda, with no historical support, unless youre definition of history is "anything that makes white historians and scientists look like thieves and cheats" .. which, a quick review of twitter will confirm, MANY people including many self hating whites, literally accept this definition and embrace it. It has become liek a game, who can say the most shit about white people and destroy our history the most, re: the current erasure of our history via the communist attack on our statues and monuments this year.
The historical reality is that even in ancient hindu texts it describes the higher caste as being light in skin and hair. close to the same period that we moved up in to europe, another aryan tribe moved down in to what we now call india and pakistan, and established the vedic tradition. For indians to claim otherwise is as ridculous as the White Nationalists who are christian and claim "they are the real jews, jews just stole it from us" (yes people this retarded actually exist, as evidenced by the revisionist history you are referencing).
Indians hurt in their soul because they're entire tradition came from Aryans, and so they seek to change the narrative and erase that inconvenient fact.
No different from the Aryan christian that hurts in their soul because their entire tradition is jewish so they seek to change the narrative and somehow make christianity an Aryan tradition.
both are trying to change reality to soothe the internal pain of their traditions not deriving from their own ancestors, but instead of returning their broken selves to the source and learn from their ancestors, they choose to lie to themselves and others, and replace reality with a false history that makes them feel better in the short run, but keeps them as disconnected from their ancestors as they were before hand. You can level many criticisms at the NSDAP, but being disconnected from their ancestors is not even remotely one of them.
pure feelings over facts modern insanity. Long story short, anti-Aryan revisionist history is a can of horseshit, as is any other revisionist history that exists for erasing ANY peoples history or culture, or for the purpose of casting them in a bad light. As a final note, there were Hindus both Indian and not that fought for Germany in that war. Ghandi said that the future would regard Hitler as a genius and a brave man. .. so whether you agree with the National Socialist philosophy or not, you have to examine this question: Why did Hindu's back Hitler? Why did they see a common thread in ancestry and his ideas on racial nations if the truth all along was that he was just lying and stealing ideas from Hinduism?? This alo begs the question of if the NSDAP were ARYAN SUPREMACISTS (they were not, as even a quick and hasty review of either of Hitlers books makes very clear) .. then why did Japan jump on board? Why are the Japanese still writing books about things like "transnational nazism" explaining how beneficial the National Socialists ideology is and how UNIVERSAL it is, to any race that wishes to have a safe and prosperous HOMOGENOUS nation.
Funny how the idea of things being stolen from hindus only popped up when communist revisionists showed up in universities in India. I wonder why communists, the main entity the NSDAP was fighting, would ever lie about this topic. hmm.

my hair is pretty sparse in the front middle, I take a drug that stops/slows loss, but I can still see a bunch of skin, maybe rogain would grow baby hairs and darken it up, but I dont really feel commited to using a topical minoxidil twice a day, I tried to get oral minoxidil from my dermatologist, I knows derms prescribe it down under, but in Canada they dont, she said she dosnt prescribe it because its a heart med, it kinda is, it lowers blood pressure, im going to try to get my family doctor to give it to me, but fat chance, she dosnt prescribe anything, she wouldnt even write me a t3 script when I had 2 broken arms

I have several very different looking persona's in virtual worlds, people like people who are light blond the best and people who are black, particularly more ethnic looking such as with cornrow braids, the least.
One such character of mine even today muted a Karen who kept sending him offline messenges to the effect that he was worrisome and how she didnt trust him and found him suspicious, while having absolutely nothing to do with him and never having interacted with him in person.
I at first thought she was joking because of the seemingly excessive petty imbecility of the behavior, I thought it was a tongue in cheek rendition of a Trumper Karen but she was completely serious.
Because my blond character is so much more popular for no reason than looking aryan I decided to experiment with that by making him send lots of red flags of rude, antisocial and other inappropriate behaviors reverse engineered from the traits of generally problematic personality disorders. People still eat that up. And some like that even more, just as how they like older rich white guys to act like assholes.
If you're white and you want to be more popular, and it works with your face, dye your hair and brows a vivid but natual looking light blond. Not the whitish or grayish blond but the yellowish blond, as long as it looks reasonably natural.
When I was a kid I spent many years light blond until I finally darkened, I was a pedophile magnet For real. My mom used to dye her hair blond and was quite popular with the guys. When she stopped doing that, her popularity was mostly over. She was highly dismayed over that sudden acute drop in popularity because of hair color, she thought it had been her charisma, so she went "well then fuck every single last one of them" and stayed undyed until the day she died. It was that that alerted me particularly to the whole blond hair phenomenon, and I looked for it and noted it in both sexes and with gays and straights alike. Males (gay or straight) have the attraction the most but many women do too.
Genitals of either gender make nazi salutes when they see an aryan 
People make jokes about blondes but they are disproportionately popular. Its really true that black people, no matter how goodlooking or exceptionally well behaved, are far less popular with the majority of people, That whole implicit bias thing against darker and in favor of lighter people is true.

My Shroomery persona doesn't have a body like a virtual world persona does, so people go by what they know of you including the photos I posted so I would say, white as a saltine, the fact that I am not quite white in my bloodline which to me is an important part of how i define myself internally, people see white and hear white so white it is.
Even according to the Nuremberg Race Laws of the Nazis I'm whiteb enough to be considered white and could marry a Volksdeutsche If I were so inclined.
I'm not so inclined 
(Song is funny if you understand German, its a German folk song about a rather vulgar sounding girl describing in graphic and comedic detail how grossed out she is about sperm)

psi said: I think they just enjoy being contrarian with this tradition. Why not rename it to one of the many other words that mean well-being? It's like using the word "niggardly" to describe a stingy person so that you can tell people that the origins of the word are completely separate from those of the word "nigger". Which is true, but it's still an asshole move.
If we go a long that road it allows rasist etc. to erase words from use by simply starting using them in wrong/bad context. As was said this is pre ww2.
Swastika as symbol is much older than nazis. Nazis should not be able to determinate meaning of ancient words and or holy symbols.
For example norse runes. I had vision of one of them(at that time had no knowledge of any of them) on my first shamanistic drum trip. I´m going to tattoo that symbol probably in my skin. Neonazis use these same runes. FB is cencoring now even documenta of nore mythology because this. I say fuck that! These are ancient holy symbols and words. We have right to use them if we want. Words and symbols have the meaning and power we give them.
I say it is time to take the power back and use those symbols in their original meaning! Not in racist context.

im a bit torn on blonde hair myself, since my own inner persona has blonde hair that's slightly reddish and deep green eyes, and has ever since it was i was a wee kid, but i don't know how much of that was due to cultural influence or simply because i was like that or what. i've never felt comfortable in the body i was born in, after all, and while i've learned to just accept it as a work in progress and still love it for carrying me through this plane of existence regardless, it's still not "me".
then again, i'm not sure my inner persona would look entirely of any race either - the eyes would look slightly asian in origin, and who knows where the nose would come from, while the jaw would probably be more from mexico. that tends to be how it is already - i've had people randomly ask me what ethnicity i am for some reason (i have no idea why) and their guesses have been pretty almost every country from around the globe, with almost none of them guessing mexican. (i'm half white, half mexican.)
so i guess ill just say fuck it, who cares the original reason why my inner self looks the way it does? i happen to like gold and green color, and it's not like i don't like variety anyways - i find myself attracted to a wide variety of men of all hair and eye colors, especially if they have a great personality and good head on their shoulders. that's kind of a huge part of whether they're attractive anyways, worth like half the hotness score. :P
