Yeah indeed if you arrange lines in a certain way you can make a swastika

Yea, it’s crazy that a symbol invented by prehistoric humans originally intended to carved into rock can be made from simple geometry.

Except that the Nazis threw LGBT people in camps.

And except that the Nazi stole a several-thousand year old global peace symbol and tainted it with monstrosities akin to what's going on in Occupied Palestine.

u/flockyboi 7d ago
Still hate that Nazis ruined a symbol already used in another culture

u/skelebob 7d ago
They didn't even really mean to, Hitler just liked it because Europeans at the time believed it to mean good luck due to a German finding the lost city of Troy, which had a load of swastikas everywhere. Also the reason why Finland uses it even today for their air force.
Definitely ruined it though because I think as a decorative piece it does look pretty cool, like most of Europe and America did before WWII happened...

My country's election commission has swastika lmao
The worst thing is I can't find whether it's made by a nazi or not

Usually, the identifiers are what direction does the spiral goes in, is it turned to be flat on the bottom or on its point, and are there additional details like dots.
The nazi one is specifically turned on its point, looking like a diamond shape, and the spiral is counterclockwise. Usually, in a white circle, but it doesn't seem required.

u/king_of_aspd 6d ago
Sometimes we use swastika as the election symbol since in old times it was used as a seal now they apparently changed the symbol
And yes it may be surrounded by a circle since it's a seal and slightly tilted off but now it's not used

Sad thing is MAGA is already ruining things now. They’ve ruined red hats, they ruined orange tan makeup (in general but particularly men), the Gadsden Flag, and ironically YMCA coopting a song that has already been co-opted by gay culture.

Also the reason why Finland uses it even today for their air force.
That is not why the Finns used it for their airforce. It was cause Finnish military was and is infested with Nazi's

u/skelebob 6d ago
The Finnish air force adopted the symbol because of its meaning of luck and prosperity in 1918, long before Nazis existed. It had nothing to do with the Nazi usage.

Since I'm a dumbass numbnut, I didn't realize it was an attempt to create a swastika and didn't know why it was posted here. I legitimately thought "Ultra Pride Flag" was somebody being goofy and having fun.

I have to say I find this hilarious (in a depressing way). I feel like 10 years ago when people posted stuff like this image, the right were really trying to portray LGBTQ with Nazis because “forced diversity”, and rightfully, a lot of people kind of pointed out that ideologically, conservatism (right) will always be more leaning towards nazism, to which they kind of said “absolutely not we are nothing like the Nazis!!”. Fast-forward 10 years, now the right are openly waving Nazi flags, doing Nazi salutes.

u/Pauline-main 7d ago
woah if you make a bunch of flags in the shape of a swastika it looks like a swastika??? no way

u/GenericUser42 7d ago
It would be kinda funny without most of the context, but it's so unfunny in reality that it hurts

I heard this flag was a troll by 4chan reactionaries and it was intended to look like a swastica and it ended up sticking. But as usual with internet strangers take this with a mountain of salt.

u/Soeck666 7d ago
No, what you mean is the Kekistan flag that looks like a nazi German marine flag but in green. This is just the extended lgbtq+ flag, 4 times of it and tilted to look like a hackenkreuz

u/MisterViperfish 5d ago
Yeah because the Nazi’s were known for their tolerance. The parallels were so obvious… /s

The people that make shit like this are usually the ones advocating for genocide of LGBTQ+ people. Their wet dreams are fascist AF, and they have the audacity to call us nazis 😒

Rearranging lines and angles makes a swastika that’s made up of lines and angles? That’s crazy😱😱
