With the swastika it shows up in pretty much every culture and religion, not just hinduism. But also the symbol does typically share similar meanings. And yeah the Nazis obviously appropriated it and ruined it. Fascism is an ideology of aesthetics, vibe over substance. It is also an ideology of paradoxes and contradictions.

    Its funny, I've actually known (via the internet at least) a few actual 'Nords', Finns, Swedes, Norweigans, who are actually quite pissed off by white supremacists increasing adoption of Norse gods and mythology, as they either take the religion ... well, a degree of seriously, as a religion, or they just immensely value the stories as foundational to their culture.

    Yep, fasiscm is an almost entirely vibes based 'ideology', which ultimately eschews reason, and embraces emotion, theatrics, and rhetoric... all to mask the worldview of a hateful, selfish bully, that really just wants to hurt whoever they identify as 'the problem', and anyone who doesn't agree with their hate.

    As Chaplin said:

    "The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed - the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish…"
