I’m pretty sad, I used to draw that symbol all the time on my papers and stuff as a kid and have always wondered if it was some kinda rune or something. Turns out its used by Nazis, neo and otherwise. 😮💨
Objectively, in my subjective opinion, it’s a cool looking symbol. And so is the swastika. (Cancel me now!)
There’s no minor coincidence that cool looking symbols that are simple enough to write/carve/etch became embedded in historical traditions and what you did as a kid is probably where a lot of runes and other symbols started from as well.
It’s just a shame that fascists coopt this shit and ruin it for everyone. Take heart at the fact that we are fighting for a world where, some day long into the future, these symbols will be able to be used again (ignoring the fact that the swastika is commonplace in the east in Hinduism, Jainism, and Buddhism for argument’s sake lol) without there being anything besides a historical factoid that some nerd will drop to mention that these symbols were associated with this political phenomenon that was called “fascism”, because fascists themselves will be little more than a historical footnote.
