    The history of the swastika is interesting, or I should say histories, because it’s not that unique of a symbol and has been independently created in half a dozen cultures.

    But yeah, the Nazis ruined it for everyone. There’s actually a story about how a Native American tribe had used the symbol going back easily a thousand years, and after the Nazis ruined it, they officially retired their own version.
