re: #150 Charles

I understand being pissed off about it, but you should direct your anger at the neo-Nazis who use the symbol, not at me for pointing it out.

Charles makes a solid point, Cato.

I remember travelling to Seoul and being surprised at a PR effort there to revive the swastika ( late 90s). It was a symbol of peace and prosperity that the Nazi’s appropriated. the mail Seoul subway station has swastikas everywhere in the tile patterns.

But they can’t rehabilitate the symbol and never will in the west. Fascists will always appropriate and exploit symbols.
