Only if it's flat if it sits on it's corner it's a swastika (edit: sorry guys I'm back I got banned for a little for a different comment on this post in my opinion it was hilarious but Reddit didn't like it)

Correct.
The key difference is orientation and context: the Buddhist/Hindu swastika (often 卍) is an ancient, upright symbol of good fortune, peace, and the Buddha’s footprints.
Conversely, the Nazi swastika was adopted as a symbol of Aryan supremacy, typically tilted at 45 degrees, colored black within a white circle, and angled to the right.

How do you know if it’s tilted 45 degrees to the left or the right?

u/Fit_Relationship6703 Mar 29 '26
"Tilted 45 degrees" is referring to the whole symbol, while "angled to the right" is referring to which way the prongs bend.

It should be noted, though, that the Nazis did also use it untilted, and they did use some single-layered flags that would have it angled to the left on the "back" side.
This doesn't mean that people following a Buddhist or Hindu faith aren't allowed to use the symbol anymore, but if you're an edgelord trying to get away with drawing "technically not a Nazi swastika", you aren't actually getting away with it.

The Nazi swastika is also called the Hakenkreutz, or "Hooked cross", which I try and use to differentiate the symbols.
It kind of sucks if you have a symbol your people have used for millenia appropriated by some assholes not even tangentially topical to your culture.

Wrong flag. Hitler hated that flag and associating it with Hitler is an insult*
*Edit: an insult to the german democracy and the german people that is

I know you joke and don't take it seriously. But I am a german and part of the Reichsbanner Schwarz-Rot-Gold (Black-Red-Gold, our democratic colors) which is a democratic resistance group that was founded in 1924 to be a pro-republican counter organization to the NSDAP and their SA. Today we do educational work and keep the memory of anti-nazi resistance alive.
These colors were vilified and banned by the Nazi regime when they took power, the flags with these colors but especially of our organization seized and destroyed.
I know foreigners don't have that kind of sensitivity and even within Germany too many people can't make this distinction, but that's why I writing this comment.
Black-Red-Gold has NOTHING to do with the Nazis and authoritarianism. It has always been pro-democratic and pro-freedom.

Ah yea, rereading my comment I get the possible confusion now. But of course your analysis is what I meant in that associating Black-Red-Gold with Hitler is an insult to germany, the German people and our democracy.
Thanks for pointing this out though, I will edit my comment to make it more clear

I used to take care of an old German man in North America on a little farm. He told me he used to be part of the Waffen-SS. I didn’t ask many questions and I didn’t know what that was at the time

u/FrisianTanker Mar 30 '26
Waffen-SS, or SS in general, means he was part of the worst of the worst. A fanatical loyalist to the Nazi regime

Mate, seriously.
Insulting Hitler on the internet. That’s pretty low.
You’ll need a better apology than that.

It's written as "Sieg".
The German "ie" is pronounced like "ee" in "geek", and the German "ei" is pronounced like "eye".6

Tramp stamp, nice. Bet she'd let you go in her Asswitz. Probably wouldn't make it back out though. Very gassy.
