I used to comment saying they weren’t swastikas but I’d get downvoted to all hell with a response like “so I’m supposed to find an actual swastika????????”
The swastika (卐 or 卍) is an ancient religious and cultural symbol, predominantly in various Eurasian, as well as some African and American cultures, now also widely recognized for its appropriation by the Nazi Party and by neo-Nazis. It continues to be used as a symbol of divinity and spirituality in Indian religions, including Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. It generally takes the form of a cross, the arms of which are of equal length and perpendicular to the adjacent arms, each bent midway at a right angle. The word swastika comes from Sanskrit: स्वस्तिक, romanized: svastika, meaning "conducive to well-being".
I think the mirrored swastika being a religious symbol is a misconception, both the left and right facing swastika are a Nazi symbol (hakenkreuz) as long as they are rotated at an angle. Religious swastikas aren't rotated and can sometimes contain 4 dots, but some religious swastikas don't have them
The term sauwastika (or sauvastika) (as a character: 卍) is sometimes used to distinguish the left-facing from the right-facing swastika symbol, a meaning which developed in 19th century scholarship.The left-facing variant is favoured in Bön and Gurung Dharma; it is called yungdrung in Bon and Gurung Yantra in Gurung Dharma. Both the right-facing and left-facing variants are employed in Hinduism and Buddhism; however, the left-facing is more commonly used in Buddhism than Hinduism and the right-facing is more commonly used in Hinduism than Buddhism.In Buddhism the left-facing sauwastika is imprinted on the chest, feet, palms of Buddha and also the first of the 65 auspicious symbols on the footprint of the Buddha. In Hinduism the left-facing sauwastika is associated with esoteric tantric practices and often stands for Goddess Kali.
I'd say that it doesn't because it doesn't have anything to do with the nazis. Thanks to people like you I can't use my countries national symbols (the left facing "swastika" for us is a representation of the Thunder and not some dictator)
Well you wanna know why? positivity doesn't bleed into our minds, propaganda from pain does, all great apes have a negativity bias so we remember pain more than pleasure.
It is not a swastika, it looks nothing like a swastika except that it is at a 45 degree angle, of all things it looks more like a ninja star, plus as you can tell by the font of the sub we're dedicated to GERMAN swastikas, not Syrian ones. -3-
you can tell by the font of the sub we're dedicated to GERMAN swastikas
Well, it uses a typeface the Führer himself called Schwabacher JUdenletter and made clear that it is false to call it a german typeface, because in his view it has jewish roots. by his order germany stopped using it in 1941.
And then, surprisingly, Hitler banned Blackletter for supposedly having Jewish roots! Check this out, the Bormann Decree:
For general notice I announce the following by order of the Führer:
It is false to regard or describe the so-called Gothic typeface as a German typeface. In reality the so-called Gothic typeface consists of Schwabacher-Jewish letters. Just as they later came to own the newspapers, the Jews living in Germany also owned the printing presses when the printing of books was introduced and thus came about the strong influx into Germany of Schwabacher-Jewish letters.
Today the Führer, in a discussion with Herr Reichsleiter Amann and the printing company owner Herr Adolf Müller, decided that Antiqua type is henceforth to be designated as the standard typeface. Gradually, all printed matter should be converted to this standard typeface. As soon as possible in regard to school textbooks, only the standard script will be taught in village and elementary schools.
That one did get a lot of reports but I left it because the white space makes a close-enough swastika. Like I said, I give submissions the benefit of the doubt where I can.
I’m not an anti-Semitic but did they really have to ruin such a simple design. I really thought it was a cool shape when I was younger until I realized he meaning of it.
Eh, just wait a hundred years, then people will forget its association with Nazis, don't believe me? People a hundred years before them used it as a symbol of peace in certain Asian countries, so I have no doubt in my mind that its current meaning will, fall out of favour in due time.
Auf der Heide blüht ein kleines Blümelein
Und das heißt Erika
Heiß von hunderttausend kleinen Bienelein
Wird umschwärmt, Erika
Denn ihr Herz ist voller Süßigkeit
Zarter Duft entströmt dem Blütenkleid
Auf der Heide blüht ein kleines Blümelein
Und das heißt Erika
at wohnt ein kleines Mägdelein
Und das heißt Erika
Dieses Mädel ist mein treues Schätzelein
Und mein Glück, Erika
Wenn das Heidekraut rot-lila blüht
Singe ich zum Gruß ihr dieses Lied
Auf der Heide blüht ein kleines Blümelein
Und das heißt Erika
In mei'm Kämmerlein blüht auch ein Blümelein
Und das heißt Erika
Schon beim Morgengrau’n sowie beim Dämmerschein
Schaut's mich an, Erika
Und dann ist es mir als spräch es laut:
Denkst du auch an deine kleine Braut?
In der Heimat weint um dich ein Mädelein
Und das heißt Erika
Question, do left looking swastikas count? Because i See mostly swastikas that look left on this subreddit, but those mean the exact opposite of the "Nazi-swastika"
Left side on right with negative swastika definitely is. Artist play like many others. Lots have used. Temple of Isaiah Chicago uses it. Also the box In middle arms shooting outwards in the rules lots of cultures have used it
One of the counter examples given is actually a swastika. The swastika with the central cross removed is the low visibility swastika painted on the tails of aircraft near.
Suicide Hotline Numbers If you or anyone you know are struggling, please, PLEASE reach out for help. You are worthy, you are loved and you will always be able to find assistance.
this is not a swastika, its a hakenkreuz, the swastika is a hindu symbol and is completely square-angled, the hakenkreuz is tilted 45 degrees, when will someone learn?
They have different names because they're different languages lmfao. Next you'll tell me that 'bier' and 'beer' are different because 'they have different names.'
the hakenkreuz means the HOOKED CROSS, it is a HOOKED CROSS, the swastika translates literally to well-being, as far as im concerned, hooked cross and well-being are not similar names
it's a wrong naming, the germans called it a hakenkreuz, the nazis kalled it a hakenkreuz, and people trying to be edgy are attempting to replicate the hakenkreuz
What the Germans and call it is entirely irrelevant. I'm not speaking German. It's called a swastika in English and has been for an extremely long time.
what the english has called for a long time is the hindu swastika, the one that is not turned at all. what the germans did is turn it by 45 degrees, and call it the hakenkreuz, and use it as the symbol for their NSDAP, the regular non-turned should be called a swastika and the nazi symbolism should be called the hakenkreuz
I try to remove any of the ones on the left. We have Rule 1 for a reason.
I know, but I still see so many of them.....
Report them if you see them and I will get round to removing the ones I think violate Rule 1. But that said, I will give the benefit of the doubt to submissions where I can.
Oh also can you add fans to the ban list? It seems tons of people think a standard 4 bladed fan looks enough like a swastika for some reason...
swastika nazi
I already said that.
I'm pretty sure that's just a Nazi /s
I've been wanting to revamp the forbidden list for a while now. I will get round to it soon I promise.
I swear people are TRYING to see it lol
Okay.
Like this one from the other day received a few reports, but you can see an actual swastika in the white lines between the arrows so I left it.
Technical nazi. I like it!
The best kind of correct
I used to comment saying they weren’t swastikas but I’d get downvoted to all hell with a response like “so I’m supposed to find an actual swastika????????”
Question: what about backwards swastikas? Like, mirror reflections of the one on the right
That's just another type of swastika. I'm not sure if there's a forward or backward version since both are used commonly.
If it’s left facing it’s a sauwastika. Both are religious symbols wiki. Iirc the Germans called their symbol the hooked cross or hakenkreuz.

Backwards swastikas are a religious symbol in parts of Asia I'm pretty sure.
I think the mirrored swastika being a religious symbol is a misconception, both the left and right facing swastika are a Nazi symbol (hakenkreuz) as long as they are rotated at an angle.

What this sub really needs is one of these that shows the difference between what’s accidental and what’s not.
“I hate the Jews draws swastika symbol.”
This sub: “Ha! Accidental swastika!”
Ancient Buddhist temple has swastika cause it was put their before the nazis tainted its reputation
This subreddit: AcCiDeNtAl SwAsTiKa¿¡ 🤔🥴🧐🤯
What if the swastika is reversed?
I tend to not be picky over the orientation as long as it is as least the right shape.
Would something like this be fine?

Implying you've experienced what the nazis did
.....You horribly misinterpreted that, I'm telling you how pain and propaganda is remembered more than a more pleasant meaning like thunder.
Yeah and you misinterpreted what I said- you couldn't have felt the pain so how can you talk about it so much?
There are things called empathy and sympathy. There's a reason people don't go "I wasn't there so haha f you dead people."
lefty lucky righty reichy

It's the Flag of the Syrian Social Nationalist party.
It's supposed to be a stylized swastika.
Of course not!
It's a swastika. It was placed on that flag as a swastika for hateful nationalist and anti-jewish reasons.

Isn’t that actually a white nationalist symbol
Uhm, "swastika nazi" doesn't come across the same way as, say, "grammar nazi" or "chores nazi."
If i combine the middle and right partials does it count?
As long as they are completely connected, yes.
The top one gets past the mods all the time
It would never get past me.

Boi the top middle one is a Theresa Cross
It really sucks that the nazis ruined the swatika it really is a cool shape

Actually that’s a haakenkreus
While true, the subreddit isn't called r/accidentalhaakenkreus
Are you stupid? Go learn the difference between swastika and hakenkreuz before continuing to spread this nonsense.
Are you? Hakenkreuz is the German name for the shape. We're speaking English where both are swastikas.
[deleted]
No it isn't. The Hakenkreuz is a specific kind of German swastika and you're free to look it up.
I surprise this hasn't being archive.
You make a surprisingly good point, it's like, 4 years old at this point.
r/brandnewsentence
F'u it's not swastika, it's a Nazi symbol..
What font is that?
Arialic hollow.
Ah yeah the × sign isn’t a swastika
People still sometimes submit x's.
Yeah but × cannot be a swastika until the + got mixed together to make a swastika
Also that symbol in Buddhism which is a Swastika but the ends point counter-clockwise
Who on Earth said those were swastikas??
Depressingly, a lot of posts before this one was posted said they were.
why the cross? its literally a "+" on 45° degrees, or an "X" in a different font.
I've seen people post them here, thus I added it to this image.
THIS IS A MANJI NOT A SWASTIKA: 卍
Correct.
The third some from the left is sometimes used on preserved Luftwaffe planes to censor the swastika that was once there.

I also hate it when people draw them backwards or in a square instead of a diamond.
Swastikas are nice
Question, do left looking swastikas count? Because i See mostly swastikas that look left on this subreddit, but those mean the exact opposite of the "Nazi-swastika"
MUH ROTATIONAL SYMMETRY
Okay, are my eyes fucked or are does it look like 2 on the left are warped slightly
I didn't make them perfectly. :/
Okay, thank god, I didn't see anyone else say anything and i thought my eyes must be fucked lol
The columbia logo is the only exception
It's not exactly an "exception" more of an example of an accidental swastika.
x
Left side on right with negative swastika definitely is. Artist play like many others. Lots have used. Temple of Isaiah Chicago uses it. Also the box In middle arms shooting outwards in the rules lots of cultures have used it
Wrong way... ☠️
Bottom right of the not swastika section is used on Nazi aircraft tails as a representation. Get fucked
First time here.
But that is NOT a swastika. Swastikas are arranged like a square (see hindu, pagan, and other swastikas)
That is the Haken Kreuz, hooked cross
Neither of these are swastikas, the ones the Nazis used are Hakenkreuz’
That's 100% a swastika. The Nazis spoke German and called them Hakenkreuz, but in English those're swastikas.
I know that now
What about the non tilted swastika? (卍)
Those are merely the building blocks
[deleted]
Funny
you should also put the hindi and buddhist symbol for peace and prosperity
(the actual swastika)
the nazi swastika isnt even called swastika
swastik is a name in india Swastika is the female version
The Nazis called their swastikas Hakenkreuz, but in English the Hakenkreuz is a swastika.
yeah they ruined the thing in nepal its the symbol of love
btw my name is swastik and i know 4 other people with this name and 1 girl who is swastika
My post got removed even though it showed a clear example from the right side
Isn't thay just a swastika as lego
Like build it yourself?
Nothing on this page is a swastika. It’s a hooked cross. Swastika is a pious Hindu symbol, please stop misinterpreting my culture.
Also the ones going left instead of right. Those are Buddhist.
Swastika Nazi is not something I thought I would ever hear lol. Nazi Nazi. “Your not the right kind of Nazi”
Time to add a new shape to the list, the 5 sided swastika
Reminds me, WHY DO PEOPLE KEEP CONFUSING MY PROFILE PICTURE FOR A SWASTIKA?!
One of the counter examples given is actually a swastika. The swastika with the central cross removed is the low visibility swastika painted on the tails of aircraft near.
Reddit dont teach you anything. Also reddit:
But i really thought X was a swastika
Do ones that face the wrong way count?
Fr
That pattern on the top in "Not Swastika" when used in a tesselation will have swastika sides
You just have to look at the lines, not the shapes.

It’s actually called the haken kreuz
Correction, that's it's name, in German, but we're not speaking German.
Aren’t regular Nazis swastika Nazis?
It's a pun on grammar nazi.
I know that, but this means there are two different kinds of swastika nazis.
Yeah.
Also if the little thingys are to the left it’s a peace symbol
Whats the non swastika on the right
Read the text above the symbols before commenting.
Talking about that square lookin boi. I know it isn’t a swastika but is it perhaps something else or just a placeholder
Oooh, um, I don't know the names for them besides the X shape.
this is not a swastika, its a hakenkreuz, the swastika is a hindu symbol and is completely square-angled, the hakenkreuz is tilted 45 degrees, when will someone learn?
OP is a goddamn idiot lol.
Hakenkreuz are swastikas. When will you learn?
they literally have different names dumbass, when will you learn?
They have different names because they're different languages lmfao. Next you'll tell me that 'bier' and 'beer' are different because 'they have different names.'
the hakenkreuz means the HOOKED CROSS, it is a HOOKED CROSS, the swastika translates literally to well-being, as far as im concerned, hooked cross and well-being are not similar names
Again, they're different names in different languages and cultures. The shape is referred to as a swastika in English.
it's a wrong naming, the germans called it a hakenkreuz, the nazis kalled it a hakenkreuz, and people trying to be edgy are attempting to replicate the hakenkreuz
What the Germans and call it is entirely irrelevant. I'm not speaking German. It's called a swastika in English and has been for an extremely long time.
what the english has called for a long time is the hindu swastika, the one that is not turned at all. what the germans did is turn it by 45 degrees, and call it the hakenkreuz, and use it as the symbol for their NSDAP, the regular non-turned should be called a swastika and the nazi symbolism should be called the hakenkreuz
They're both swastikas. I don't speak German. You can say it 'should be' all day but it isn't. I'm not going to continue to repeat myself anymore.
What about the Columbia clothing brand logo? I always thought it looked like a stylised swastika or even the Chase bank logo...
I dont think that was accidental.
