Explain please. All the ones I see in the image are shaped like four adjoined letter L’s which is the same way around that the Nazis used. Or are you referring to the fact that most of them aren’t stood on a corner, diamond-wise?
Yes and no. The one the Nazis used was / is also a symbol used in Asia. (And really, everywhere. It’s a fairly basic pattern.) The Nazis used it because of their obsession with Aryans. Sometimes it’s at an angle, sometimes it’s not.
Generally in the west, unless it’s on a statue of budda, any swastika-ish symbol since the ~1930s is going to be a reference to Nazis though.

I totally forgot it’s also mirrored. Thanks for pulling it up

I reckon it’s the latter, I noticed it too. Nazis are the only ones who use it tilted like that, as far as I know.
Let’s be real here, they’re the only ones that use it at all anymore.
You know, the subcontinent has around a billion people on it? Who see it scattered all around, for thousands of years.
Every Hindu and many Buddhists disagree. Way to just ignore almost a billion people dude. The world isn’t just the west.
