    This is only interesting for the depiction of swastikas. If you want to talk about the meaning of that pre-nazi era you should do so with more intent. The post really just looks like you want to either be edgy or communicate acceptance for Nazi symbols. I don’t think you should have posted this.

      I find it interesting also as an expression of unit pride by an individual - of a fairly expensive, yet non-ostentatious variety. The kind of thing that’s not quite show-off-y, where everyone will notice it, but the sort of thing a man can look down at and smile with a bit of pride and private satisfaction at. It really speaks to that timeless sense of unit loyalty military men develop. THIRTEENTH!

      Swastika’s ancient, man. Outside of a 20th century context, it’s just a common symbol.

      If you’re so concerned about Nazis then stop calling it swastika and start calling it hooked cross cause that’s the proper name, hakenkreuz. It’s a Christian symbol.

      English speaking colonizers chose to associate Nazi symbol with non-white religions by using a Sanskrit name, for some reason.

      The date/age is in the title. How much more clarity do you need?
