...the Nazis were hardly a "small group of people".
- wongarsu 4y ago1939 Germany had about 80 million inhabitants. By far not all Germans were Nazis, but then not all Nazis were Germans, so let's just use that as a first approximation. At the same time, India had about 320 million inhabitants, or four times as many. Maybe calling Nazis a small group is a bit far, but they were definitely a minority of swastika users even at the time.

Three hundred years from now, no one will care about said symbols anyhow. When’s the last time we see people be superstitious or negative towards a worse person like Ghengis Khan? He’s part of popular culture; projecting into the future, as depressing as it sounds, so will Hitler be.
