you're a fucking idiot you prove this over and over again. because everyone refers to the swasticka as a buddhist symbol right? and the buddhists' use a red and white background as well right?
"In 1920, Adolf Hitler decided that the Nazi Party needed its own insignia and flag. For Hitler, the new flag had to be "a symbol of our own struggle" as well as "highly effective as a poster." (Mein Kampf, pg. 495)
On August 7, 1920, at the Salzburg Congress, this flag became the official emblem of the Nazi Party.
In Mein Kampf, Hitler described the Nazis' new flag: "In red we see the social idea of the movement, in white the nationalistic idea, in the swastika the mission of the struggle for the victory of the Aryan man, and, by the same token, the victory of the idea of creative work, which as such always has been and always will be anti-Semitic." (pg. 496-497)
Because of the Nazis' flag, the swastika soon became a symbol of hate, antisemitism, violence, death, and murder."history1900s.about.com/cs/swastika/a/swastikahistory.htm
But by your logic it's ok even though the buddhists, americans, german nationalists, native americans never used a red and white background which the red and white stood for a very specific meaning.
You let me know when you can find anyone besides the nazi's using a specific red and white background as the one that was being sprayed all over the 24/7 goldrush servers yesterday. But go ahead hellmet and defend this symbol that was worn by the nazi's that murdered millions of people because you're an internet technicality asshat. Legit buddhist symbol...you're such an idiot.
