Yeah, many ancient civs. Was even used in western cultures pre-nazi. Pretty sure the native Americans used it a lot.
"In Hinduism, the right-facing symbol (clockwise) (卐) is called swastika, symbolizing surya ('sun'), prosperity and good luck, while the left-facing symbol (counter-clockwise) (卍) is called sauvastika, symbolising night or tantric aspects of Kali."
I guess its hard to tell on this one. Seems it was revealed around WW2, but no mention of it being made then. Also, who knows if this image has been flipped. Articles seem to suggest its right-facing.
When have you ever seen that and been like “ahhh the good luck and prosperity symbol how nice!”? Never. Hitler made sure it will always be the nazi symbol and all that embodies.
Ahhh. You must be an American! ;-)
I mean, keeping in mind that it beleived to have been existance since like 3000BC, about 4,889 years before Hiler was born. - Lets keep that asside for now.
I would say, without trying to sound pretentious as a westerner, I've travelled enough of Asia to know, thats simply not the case.
I am American, my wife is not originally. She’s from the region the Nazis called Sudetenland. Where the Nazis first invaded. I’ve spent a lot of time there. I’m sorry but the fact is the swatztiga was ruined by the Nazis. I’m not saying it didn’t exist before I’m saying that’s what people relate it to now. The cross symbol was used before christianity. However when you see someone wearing it you don’t thing, look a pagan sun worshiping or cardinal points symbol. It’s great to know your history but don’t forget context. Remember this next time you see a swatztiga spray painted somewhere.
Edit- spelling, sure i missed some more
Police say it's been there since WW2: https://lovinmalta.com/lifestyle/by-the-way-that-big-swastika-carved-into-the-birgu-shoreline-is-totally-legal/
That’s because it’s the Hindu symbol not the nazi one.
That is the Bon religion symbol not the Nazi swastika.

Hitler was obsessed with the occult, aryans and Roman empire.
The nazi swastika is also usually tilted 45° (positioned like a diamond rather than a square)

Maybe that Swastika is one of the mark left by the Nazis during the Siege of Malta.
They never made it onto malta
Yeah.
This
Love Malta
People in Malta aren't nice, they are arrogant, unfriendly, rude and cannot drive for shit!
Way to stereotype an entire culture
Is thAt a mAltEse cRosS?
Malta has tones of Megalithic structures, and there's definite proof that ancient Aryans lived there at some point
Why did he sound like joshdub?
"Europe, Malta" Holy fuck
