Listen. This symbol can mean luck and prosperity, it can be a sacred symbol, but that was destroyed by the nazis. It’s true meaning was destroyed and cannot recover from that. People are always going to see a swastika and think nazi. There is no way to change that back. You can wear it and use it all you want, but first glance people will always assume Nazi. I’m all for reclaiming, but you have to take into consideration how it was used and if you’re willing to have others assume you represent that. For example: this post.
