That word is not even German, it's Sanskrit, and it has nothing to do with murdering people. When people use this word to represent the vile Nazi, it reminds me of how people can be so inhumane, using casteist, colonialist word like "pariah" and "jungli". Is that not considered neo-imperialism?

It does not matter what you think about it, there's multiple cultures out with positive sentiments towards the hooked cross, whose population exceed the western world by a large margin - just take India alone. Start adding China, Japan, Korea, we can go on. There's also Ukraine and Finland. Swastika and Sauvastika are both symbol used in most of Asia, Africa and even native American culture.
