That may be the original use, but no one sees a swastika today and thinks that. Nazi regime ruined the swastika and now you are stuck living with it.

really?

do you really think all the 12 y/o ith them are using them for that meaning?

what about when they have the kkk ghost loooking character nigger this n that bs

still mean life sun power etc etc


i dont think so

I think pmod is at least 14 bro

What does the KKK have to do with the swastika? You do know that they use the cross (like Christianity), but does that make all Christians part of the KKK? Think before you reply kid, you made no sense on putting the KKK when they have the same major symbol as well. Also symbols shouldn't be judged by who uses them, they should be treated on what they represent of the first place., their original meaning.

Sorry bro, that isn't how it works. You can disagree all you want but that is the way it is and will always be.

Do you even understand what language is?!?!? I could write an entire rant essay on this but I doubt you'll bother to read it and educate yourself so I won't bother.

Here's a tl;dr in case you're interested:
Symbols, whether visual or verbal (including everyday words) are absolutely nothing on their own, they are simply than a physical representation of some point or meaning or idea we are trying to convey. Using these symbols to convey particular meaning is what we call CONVERSATION. It's how we differ from other animals who can only convey general emotion through body language. This process of communication is only effective when ALL PARTIES have the same understanding of such symbols. Therefore, the proper meaning of any word or symbol is and always will be what ever the general concensus believes it to be.

If words only meant what they were original intended for, there would be no development of language... English would not exist, we'd all be speaking some very primitive form of Latin or w/e.

These.

@Skittles When you hear the word "fag" or "gay" I highly doubt that you think of the original term, so don't try to defend that symbol and pretend people are using it for the "original meaning,"

was using as an example but the kkk and nazis pretty much stand for the same things

Nazis are in a completely different league than the KKK, but in terms of hating a type of person would be a similarity, I guess.
