ah sorry, it I didn't notice it was a normal swastika. I always forget which way it goes, but I think the tlit of the swastika, along with the white circle with red background threw me off. Nonetheless, I don't see any religious content trying to be portrayed, it's fairly obvious that its a spin off of a nazi flag. They probably re-adjusted the angle to the right way around, for legal reasons perhaps.

they are both swastikas. there's not a "normal" or "backwards" swastika.

the japanese word for swastika is manji btw. yes, the same manji that is used to describe the back and forth drift down a straight away. they call it that cuz the path you take is like one half of a swastika...zig zag.

that's an interesting article that Kn1ves linked to.

yeah its pretty crazy how hitler flipped a peace sign backwards/tilted it, and used that to cause total chaos in the world. i guess thats the same as using peace sign, but only using the middle finger, rather than both your index and middle finger. haha

Very interesting indeed.

I'm not sure about this, but isn't it in Britian if you make a peace sign and turn your hand around (having your knuckles side facing somebody), the same or similar to flipping somebody off?

If i remember right the whole history of the backward V and the middle finger is the same origin, thats why they both have the same meaning. Went back to the first british/french war. The british archers were so feared by the french that they started cutting their pointing fingers. The idea was you cant use your pointing fingers to pull the bow and arrows. So the archers started using their middle fingers. iono something like that, i read that shiet somewhere like 10 yrs ago.

[Kn1ves]

^^^ i think it was actually an order by the british to cut all of the french's fingers off so they cant become archers, since u need ur middle finger and index finger to pull the string. The french would then go to the british and flip them off to show that they still had their middle fingers.

(I guess this also applies to the backwards peace sign thing.. but ive never heard of that one)
