Square cartoon showing different hands sticking up their middle finger coming in from all sides. The empty space left in the middle of the cartoon is the shape of a swastika.

I wholeheartedly agree with #FckNzs & like the cartoon, so there may be place for a reminder:

the Nazis massively and purposely appropriated a variety of symbols, as much as they created a distorted form of early #NewSpeak, destroying certain German words for almost ever.

the swastika is but a prime example of cultural appropriation, as its origins are very much the opposite to #fascism...

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika

a screenshot of a wikipedia page, explaining the symbol “Swastika”, showing 4 different examples

the copied text reads:

“…. a symbol of the German Nazi Party who appropriated it for their party insignia starting in the early 20th century. The appropriation continues with its use by neo-Nazis around the world.
The swastika was and continues to be used as a symbol of divinity and spirituality in Indian religions, including Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism.
It generally takes the form of a cross, the arms of which are of equal length and perpendicular to the adjacent arms, each bent midway at a right angle.
