And also that the term "swastika" doesn't equate to the Hakenkreuz, and that "manji" is Japanese. It's not just a Japanese religious symbol, guys. It comes from India.

And yeah, which way it faces doesn't mean "peace" vs. "war" or whatever urban myth. Left-facing is more common in Buddhism, and right-facing is more common in Hinduism. That's it.

It never went away in some places. Map symbol for temples.

You'd have to be crazy to wear that in the western world, though.

Except those aren't swastikas
