Odd avatar Trypnoo1. That positioning of the swastika is its traditional Hindu, Buddist and Jainist form (and oodles of other asian traditions). Nothing to do with little angry austrian men.
Well it also existed as the personal standard of Hitler, so classifying it by positioning doesn't really work. Also, it's pretty darn obvious what Trypnoo1's usage is targeting. Down with Fascism!
Actually for nearly every usage other than the Nazi one the swastika can go either way, and has specific meaning depending on the way it faces for some cultures. If we wanna get REAL technical the German term for it is Hakenkruez (crooked cross), "swastika" is a mispronounced version of the sanscript word "svastika" which means "lucky symbol". *star and rainbow image wipe*The More You Know!

I was actually expecting Hanna to say “That was trippy” near the end of this page.
I’ll just imagine she did.
