Fascists hijacking environmentalism and veganism

Why can't we have anything without fascists and bigots taking over it?

Someone could create a sacred symbol and the fascists will use it and corrupt it for their ilk.

Why is this guy with the horns and fur hat culturally appropriating indigenous spirituality by calling himself a Shaman? Real shamans spread love not hate.

Fascists appropriated the [b]swastika[/b], if you can imagine that, and made it infamous forever as a symbol of hatred and genocide.
It was originally a positive symbol in many ancient cultures.

@bijouxbroussard New Mexico State University adopted a version of the swastika as a symbol, to honor the Navajo of the region, who used the symbol themselves, long before the Nazis came along. More recently, NMSU decided to drop it.

Ironic that so many non-white peoples had this symbol, and that Hitler tried to make it a symbol of Arianism.
