Notice that it is the mirror image of the one the Nazis used.

It's not the exact same symbol... it's backwards.

You missed my point entirely.

As to the topic, I'd like to get the swastika back as well (it's richly represented in my coutry's folklore and traditional art), i just don't think it's going to happen during our lifetimes. Nazis fucked it up bad, and I mean - really bad.

I believe they used to use the left-facing and the right-facing one in about equal proportions.

It's only recently they are more found of the left-facing one to not have the controversy in the west.

It's a common misconception that the left-facing one is the only one in those religions.

This is something I've been thinking about a lot for the past several years, and again the past several months. Yes it should be taken back for religious and non-racist uses, and small steps and a lot of persecution is how we're gonna get there.

Did you ever see how the Raelians had to change their logo which was a unicursal Star of David/Swastika hybrid? It was awesome - even if they are nutty like a fruitcake. Now they've got the hexagram with a swirl in the middle. It's not nearly as cool looking.






Raelians threw/funded a couple psytrance partys around here as an attempt to recruit all us freaks, were pretty deece partys
