The Bellamy Salute and the Swastika good luck native american symbol are both very fun facts to marvel over!

It's interesting the way that horrible events can work to change things like this.

It’s an Indian symbol of peace. They renounced the symbol after the nazi fiasco but that’s what it was before they got ahold of it.

It’s an incredibly ancient symbol

It alludes to the “spinning” sun. Like a rotating body leaving trails as the inside spirals out. Much akin to a hurricane symbol.

It’s mainly a Hindu symbol. Aka “Indian”. Which is why Hitler adopted it because it’s a proto-Indo-European symbol aka “Aryan”. Most people equate “Aryan” with being white but Aryan actually means in the most sociologically sense “Indo European”.

You see it in Buddhist culture as well because Buddha was actually Indian. He wasn’t “Asian” like Eastern Asia... but south west Asia aka India.

Etc etc etc.

So a handful of the numerous groups of people who use(d) the symbol.

I'm just amazed that during the Great Depression, LSU spent and charged student fee money on yearbooks.

Funny coincidence that 1933 was the year the Nazis came to power.
