ETA: since people can’t read apparently, I know that the symbol had been used for a long time before Hitler came to power.





There’s damn swastikas throughout the yearbook. Boy talk about poor timing on their part. My great-grandfather was a student at the time and the people that went with the design based it on the burial mounds. And I’m aware that it has been around forever. Still, pretty funny coincidence.

How unfortunate. That's probably worse than weight loss drug in 1980's called Aids. They had ads on TV for it, just before the HIV came out.

LSU would have swastikas on the Gumbo today if they could get away with it.

The swastika symbol was used long before the Nazis adopted it

The swastika actually represented good luck in the 1930s. And then Hitler started being a dick

thought this said 1993 at first and i was very concerned

the swastika had a much different meaning pre-third reich, symbolizing good luck and prosperity, so i guess it follows

Meh, it pre-dates the Nazis by a long arse time and meant something like "good time/life" whatever.

Agree on the shitty timing though

I’m aware, which is why I said that they used it for the Indian mound stuff.

This is worse than when I had my daughter in 2008 and named her Isis.
