If I'm correct, Finnish Air Force only removed the swastika from their uniforms. Apparently they got fed up explaining to foreign soldiers that the emblem has nothing to do with nazis. Most of Finns know the story behind the Finnish swastika, and don't want it removed copletely,

This is only the case with the Air Force HQ. They changed their unit emblem. Obviously they also have a lot of foreign contacts so this matter comes up. Other AF units have not changed their emblems and AF Academy still has the swastika as a part of their logo. Other units never had the swastika as part of their logos. Most visible use of the swastika is indeed the flags. All AF units have the same motif in the center of the flag.

That's also not entirely true - as stated in this video, Finland was allied with the Nazi's. It's still a symbol of European ultra-nationalism, the ideology that the Nazi's were infamous for. It's also worth noting that the Nazis remain a contemporary political force in American and Europe, and exalting their symbols is not exactly a good look.

I was told as a child it was an Indian symbol, when my grandmother made a blanket for me with swastika symbols on it. But as time went on, all I could see it as is a Nazi symbol that seems insane my grandmother would make, given my grandfather's first born son was killed fighting the Nazis in World War II. I don't have the heart to throw it out since she made it, but it just sits in the attic with the moths. I don't want that symbol around me!

Back in the 1970s here in the United States there was a television series called "Kolchak: The Night Stalker". It was a horror series focusing on supernatural occurrences in the city of Chicago. In the episode "Horror In The Heights" a Jewish neighborhood suddenly finds itself festooned with swastikas. Upon investigation, Kolchak discovers an Indian gentleman who has been hunting a mythological creature that devours humans and the swastikas are their cultural holy symbols designed to keep the creature away.

If only that were true. It seems I run into neo-Nazi creeps all the time these days. They really are nothing compared to the real Nazis I met while serving in Germany in the 1970's. There were still a lot of them quite alive back then. Some still clung to their Nazi beliefs, but most of them had wised up to the fact that Hitler and his gangsters had propagandized and gas-lighted them and the rest of their country -- setting the stage for it to be blasted to ruins. That's why it saddens me to see so many falling for the same fascist strongman lies and propaganda schemes here.@@GeorgeTyrrell-qm2ep

What a surreal timeline we live in lol. Just to be clear about what we're seeing here: 1) Nazis adopt a symbol. It's not 100% clear why, but it seems they likely went for it as it's a very old symbol in Europe (earliest form of that symbol found in Vinca culture, roughly 5400-4500 BC) and is common on earlier Germanic goods; and all that ties into their ideas around "aryans" (basically just means "indo-european" in modern terms). 2) English translators who were early to the "let's translate Nazi texts" game made the highly questionable call to translate "hakenkreuz", which is literally "hooked cross", to "swastika" (the hindu symbol) despite the fact that the only possible link relevant to Nazi ideology is that the Hindu swastika *might* come from indo-european migrations (unlikely because it's like 6000 years ago; but it's not impossible), but the Nazis don't have a claim to the past lol. 3) Some English speakers go around targeting a word that has no actual link to the evil folk they hate; all because an English translator translated a word wrong. What a meme.

The swastika is an ancient symbol of our Indo European ancestors. It wasnt just muh nazis who used it most of Europe used it for millennia even during WWII. Including USA and Australia. Up until the bolsheviks decimated the Russian Empire in 1917 murdering tens of millions of innocent civilians in Russia and Ukraine including the Russian Tzar and his entire family via barbaric cruelty and deliberate starvation, the Russians used the swastika on everything including their Bank notes. The banning of the swastika is just an attempt to hide our history by the corrupt winners of WWII. People are easier to control if they have no history or roots to connect to. *Change My Mind*

At least that was what reported at the time by finnish press. Also in 2013, one of swedish newspapers made headlines with story about "finnish swastika-shaped pastries" by which they referred to our christmas time pastry called "joulutorttu". Rather than swastika-shaped, joulutorttus are pin wheel -shaped pastries which have traditionally plum jam in middle of pastry. But after that news headline, it became a short-time trend among the youth to "give those swedish reporters what they want". ie. I had to eat/ receive pictures of joulutorttus which were "differently shaped to match up with the ideals of that swedish reporter".

Later on, when I worked in Kenora, Ontario, I visited the Lake of the Woods Museum, and saw how the swastika symbol adorned an Ojibway native costume, which itself dated to the turn of the 1900’s, well before, of course, the use of the swastika by the Nazis.

Native Americans used the swastika as well. A swastika shape is a symbol in the culture of the Guna people of Guna Yala, Panama. In Guna tradition it symbolises the octopus that created the world, its tentacles pointing to the four cardinal points.

I have seen them northern plains bead work to Guatemalan textiles. They are actually pretty common. You typically don't see them in contemporary work, but pre-wwll they were often sumbols of the 4 directions, but all wirl winds, chaose, natural forces. Obviously, depends on the culture. Either way, it was probably common around the World, simply because it is easy to draw or paint. Like crosses are even more common, because they are easy to draw, but has nothing to do with Christianity in most cases.

Canada recently made some changes to swastika symbolism and law so that the Hindu religion can display their symbol. Also, I visited Thailand some 12 or so years ago, and waitresses greeted me with "Sawas tee ka. I didn't make the connection until very recently....

Yeah, because people are trying to ban it, a lot of edgy teenagers draw it, and once these teenagers get backlash, they wonder WHY it's so dangerous 7 decades later. And so they go to alt-right places, where they get groomed into political extremism, and this time they'll draw the swastika because they *actually* support it I think schools should depict the symbol the same way we depict the Christian cross or the muslim crescent. "You see, class, this is the Buddhist symbol, it means good fortune in many cultures, and many replicated it" It's not hard

As a former mechanic i was shocked to see a swastika on many cars in various places that belonged to hindu or buddhist ppl. The symbol was used on more than one Japanese feudal banner. It has had a long history in many cultures and has meant much for thousands of years so i dont see why it should be misunderstood and done away with.

Felton did make misinformation in this video,the fairy tale of hitler stealing the swastika from some far oriental origin is completely false, and it's been pushed by this channel, too. The swastika also known as hackenkreuz finds origins in the germanic nordic pagan history. The finns have a form of swastika aswell called viking sun cross. And the swastika was adopted by far right nationalist organisations such as the thule society wich controlled the freikorps after WWI. Hitler was also part of that organisation before creating the NSDAP. The symbol was also used by The Order of the New Templars , a proto-fascist secret society in Germany founded by Jörg Lanz von Liebenfels as afar as 1900.

One Lafayette Escadrille pilot had it on his aircraft with a native Indian head painted too. Swastikas were in fact not an uncommon sight on planes during World War 1, even some Jewish pilots had them painted on their aircraft. Although shocking nowadays, it was a symbol of luck for them.

The puppet masters now will avoid any of such huge crises to emerge again, if you throw the frog into an already boiling water it will jump out, if you boil it slowly with the frog already in it however.. Thats why the symbol will never see any official support again from these people who run things, they know its meaning and if people realized what it actually meant and they united again, it would spell doom for those power structures.

Good informative video!!! Was stationed in South Korea from 1992-1993 while in US Army. Spent a week in orientation and one of the things they tell you is that you WILL see swastikas in the country and why. They explained that it is a Buddhist symbol, and you WILL see on their buildings and gates to their buildings. Was wandering around the town I was stationed one day and just happened to notice them as was passing by a temple. My thought was: huh, looky there, learned something from orientation, and kept walking.
