The same phenomena is happening in modern day with the Star of David. A symbol that once represented peace and religion is now representing bigotry, bloodshed, and genocide.

Don’t forget Canada:

This is absolutely true.

At the same time, acknowledging that this is true should not be taken as an endorsement for trying to “reclaim” the symbol. The symbol has been irrevocably tarnished by the greatest evil the world has seen to date. There’s no going back from that. Attempts to reclaim the original meaning will inevitably, whether you want it to or not, endorse the great evil… ESPECIALLY in this “worst timeline” of ours, where said great evil is actively attempting, or in the active process of returning.

Hell, Japanese maps, up until maybe a few years back, used a similar symbol to denote temples. Pretty sure they might have changed the map symbol because of foreigners, but don’t quote me on that because I could be wrong.

There was even a pokemon card that had to be changed for the international releases because it used the symbol. Cannot remember which, though.

卍 ( manji ) is the symbol in question. Easily accessible through just typing まんじ ( manji ) into my Japanese keyboard on my phone and selecting the first option.
