2015 report surveying foreigners on symbols of Jap maps. (final version seems to keep the swastika) . Even when told that it was a Manji sign that had nothing to do with the nazis, Westerners still voted against it because it made them uncomfortable. And also google translate censors the swastika .

I understand why ancient warriors put runes, sigils and sacred symbols on shields or weapons. Some people just freak out and panic if they see the wrong shape.

Remember it can stand for the 4 L's.

Luck, Light, Love, and Life

Considering how widely similar messages get used on social media there are alternative options:

Live, Laugh, Love, Lube Luftwaffe.

They can’t even stand to look at it.

The power of the swastika lives on.

At least im assuming the final version kept the swastika simply because the politically correct temple icon didn't show up in the final version. https://archive.md/DGbtG But the Buddhist icon didn't seem to show up at all so either they didn't change it or they opted out of having any icon there at all and decided that foreigners only needed to know where the Shinto Shrines and Christian churches are and not where the Buddhist temples are. I guess if they don't know where the Buddhist temples are then they can't see the swastikas that are imprinted on them . .

Step 1: take another people's symbols.
Step 2: do bad things using it.
Step 3: virtue-signal about how bad that symbol is.
Step 4: tell the people whose symbol you took that they shouldn't be using it.
