why is the headline written like that if it's been denied already?
Washington Post says it's true.
Independent says they were told it was false.

Words and symbols change meanings all the time. Especially during major cultural and historical events. The Nazi movement was a pretty big one.
IDK man, maybe you know people who still read/write in Sanskrit but most people don’t. I don’t think we lose much by leaving the swastika in the trash can of history.

Obviously it depends on the context and exercising some amount of critical thought.
I was in Panama, and the island people there fly swastika flags, which was a thing long before the nazis. That’s different than someone flying a swastika flag in reverence to the nazis

Not sure the WP is pushing a factual story but regardless:
Swastikas were never owned by the Nazis, so as far as hate it would depend on what swastika is being shown and the intended meaning. In Japan a swastika is used for the manji symbol to mark Buddhist sacred sites and temples, or it used to be before the 2020 Olympics when people started pushing Japan to change the symbol on street signs. I am not sure how that ended up.
Context matters for them but also the actual design matters.
People should be rational enough and educated enough to allow for other uses beyond Nazis, the KKK, and slave owners for all of these.

nooses, or the Confederate flag to be hate symbols,

quote:
the swastika remains a symbol of good luck and prosperity in Hindu, Buddhist and Jain countries such as Nepal, India, Thailand, Mongolia, Sri Lanka, China and Japan, and carries various other meanings for peoples around the world, such as the Akan, Hopi, Navajo, and Tlingit peoples. It is also commonly used in Hindu marriage ceremonies and Dipavali celebrations.

It’s like us not using the color red anymore or an iron cross.
The Navajo, Papago, Apache, and Hopi all banned the use of the "whirling log" in their art after it being a part of the culture of hundreds of years in response to its association with Nazi atrocities, but I'm sure the random a-hole with a swastika tattoo has a great reason for its continued use.

You sure? Looks to me like the Nazis and Catholics were cordial with each other.

I'm not sure about the comparison to the number of blacks killed, but I'm sure they killed many thousands of Catholic clergy, and of course millions of Christians in general. Nazis were absolutely not a fan of Christianity, and it would be foolish to argue otherwise.
I can't imagine they liked blacks very much either, but I also doubt they were a significant target or even much of a priority to Nazi Germany. Probably for very racist reasons, but that's par for the course in this case.

I'm sure they killed many thousands of Catholic clergy,
Nazis were trying to eliminate Polish culture and that includes Catholicism

You're openly celebrating swastika.
Sorry, that makes you a POS in my book.

What??
You may want to go back and see my post. You're wrong.
Way to go though, calling someone vile AND a piece of shite for something you misread.
