US T-Shirt Company is selling Swastika tee shirts aiming to make them a "symbol of love and peace."

[Ninsianna]

1. It still is a symbol of peace and auspiciousness and the orientation doesn't matter in Hindu

Buddhist or the other cultures that use this rather basic symbol.

This is something that members of those communities feel strongly about, since their symbol that has been in continuous use since ancient times was basically appropriated by some white people who did horrendous things while wearing it, and that they don't to own it.

They point out that the Nazis were also wearing crosses while they went about their activities and that the cross also symbolizes a great many atrocities throughout history, but somehow that association isn't made.

It's how they're seeking to take back the symbols of their religion and their culture from the white Europeans who stole them, soiled them and culture that won't stop denigrating them.

The swastika has never been gone, the cultures that venerated it never gave it up, nor did anyone bother asking them.
