  • 'Reclaiming' swastikas should be done unambiguously, imo.

    that ain't a swastica though, it's the other way round.

    erm, no. a swastika is just the symbol. it can be either way around. the Nazi symbol was a clockwise swastika, but swastika as a word and as a symbol has existed for a long time.

    other people who use swastikas may attribute different meanings to each direction.

    for a few years I wore a bracelet made of swastikas, since they could flip over they varied in direction. pretty sure it was never read as neo-nazi (green jade swastikas on red cord). was a useful mental aid for something but I don't wear it anymore.
