Nice civility

The swastika is thus understood to be a symbol of auspiciousness and good fortune

Symbols can have meanings that are different than what they turn into. Hammer and sickle is almost unanimously considered to be a symbol of Stalin USSR totalitarian communism where millions perished.

Symbols can have meanings that are different than what they turn into.

Not denying that.

Hammer and sickle is almost unanimously considered to be a symbol of Stalin USSR totalitarian communism where millions perished.

Only to people ignorant of what communism actually means.
