Thank you Tree for this piece. Personally, I do not think the swastika could ever be rebranded to reflect the true representations of its origin.

I lived in Germany for a bout 2 years and based on my observations, Germans want to forget any reference to this sad aspect of their history.

This was really insightful and I enjoyed the read. I appreciate the extensive research that went into making this.

Such cymbals of hate should not be tolerated if used for purposes other than those originally intended and never as intimidation.

We play Domino's often. We see this pattern often in game.

I wouldn't stop playing the game over it. I know what it is, I am happy to know it was stolen and it's actually a religious symbol from the hindu people. I have No hate in my heart for anyone, just don't come up behind me. Ahahaha hahaha 🍻

Yes, I knew it was an evil appropriation of a beautiful symbol. Like other terrorists who think through the meanings of their symbols and numbers, like al Qaeda, I recently read the even more evil genius of the design is that it's two S's turned on each echoing the white supremacist SS Bolt.

Maybe future generations can reverse the horrific connotations to this sacred symbol.

Really interesting. Saw some swastika in temples of Bali. Kinda know this already but the details you added sparked up my interest ❤️
