Before Christianity, the cross was seen onky as a method of execution and torture.

Actually Christianity itself didn't start it, it's the newer Christians that think it is.

It's a bot account that posted this, I doubt that they care much about the comments.

I only knew them as 'bots' when I heard rwbyrose mention it a few weeks ago. Before that, I just assumed they were accounts who only commented a few times a year (although I'm not convinced whether they are or not)

HISTORY LESSON KIDDOS. The swastika is often the mirror image of the symbol of piece, though some cultures used it facing both ways for fifferent meanings, Evolution (Growing as a person) and Involoution (Involution, the opposite of Evolution, is the Inner Evolution of the heart, mind and soul. Involution helps us attain Self-Understanding and Self-Mastery) And even more frequently the symbols for piece would have other items, Such as dots in the gaps. German swastikas faced right, Most releigons and cultures had it facing left

What exactly is the point here? A Swastika doesn't make you a Nazi, you might as well be interested in the history of asian cultures? Ok, fine, thanks for the info. Still pretty much everybody displaying it IS a nazi. And pretty much every non-nazi displaying it is just waiting to be called a nazi and then be like "No, how can you be so shallow to call me a Nazi when I just happen to embrace this old symbol of whatever". There is a similar story around Skinheads. A group calling themselves SHARP (skinheads against racial prejudice) run around looking 95% like any ole nazi-skin (except shoe-laces in certain colours and whatnot) and reminding people of the fact that indeed the first generation of skinheads were liberal to left kids of all classes and races. Bummer. Still doesn't make it a good idea for a young briton with ancestors from the west-indies to approach a group of skinheads cause they might as well be super friendly guys who love Ska music and radical haircuts.

More cool fact is that Swastika means sister in law in Serbian. From some indo-european root, german schwaster, english sister, Slavic sestra,French soeur, italian sorella.... so it probably has something to do with Schwasters.....

That sounds like the word for sister in law in Polish too (also Slavic), I had a Polish lesson yesterday so I just remembered it

It still is a symbol of peace in Japan. It's on most of their shrines.

It's always been an auspicious symbol in India. It's used pretty much everywhere--festivals, occassions like marriages, and even everyday worship. So no, it didn't "fall" into the hands of Hitler, and it still is used in different meanings in different cultures.

Song about Svastika (sister in law) and how he invited her to live with them so he can have sex with her...."I can't say,my wife is okay, but there's nothing more yummy than svastika" http://www.google.rs/url?q=https://m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DernO-64wQkA&sa=U&ved=0ahUKEwjmvPrP9Y3TAhVGjSwKHfcTCmkQtwIIIzAF&usg=AFQjCNFGkqjcs8Xalkh2iT1ZjwTCrS5iLA
