The swastika was not a sign of hate originally. Hitler took it from the Buddhist religion.
The swastika never stopped being used as a symbol of divinity and spirituality in Indian religions, including Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. From Wikipedia. A girl I dated was Buddhist and her brothers coffin had it on the shroud. Of course I had to ask why

Swastikas are all over the tile floor of the Saenger Theater on Canal Street.

Can we stop with this shite? Swastikas have been used by multiple ethnic and religious groups for millennia, including European ones. It wasn’t “taken” from Buddhists.
