    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.

      Uh the symbol is still used today as its original meaning. My family is buddhist and in any buddhist place you can see it in places.
