Not disagreeing with current meaning behind the swastika, but it was appropriated from Sanskrit; it was not created to be hateful.
It wasn’t appropriated from Sanskrit, the design was a popular across the Indo-European cultures for millenia but happened to survive into modernity in Sanskrit. The Nazis ripped it from artifacts being found mainly in Germanic and Celtic archeology sites, they also ripped a bunch of other symbols but most of those were dropped by the start of the war, they also made the black sun symbol (I just woke up from a nap and can’t rember the name) based off the solar symbols of ancient Neolithic to Bronze age Old European cultures.
i hope someday that will be the first thing people think of when they see it, again
