Well that’s interesting for sure. But I’m white and not even Indian. I just have a lot of Indian/Hindu friends and wanted to learn more about their culture. I knew the symbol existed for much longer than Nazi’s even though it’s not even really the same symbol. But to a bunch of let’s just say less educated rural Americans it looks exactly the same.

Yeah, I figured you probably were based on the demographics of lemmy.

More interesting facts: The same symbol also exists in a bunch of native American tribes https://moabmuseum.org/moab-history-the-history-of-the-whirling-log-motif/.
