I find it hard to believe a Buddhist symbol was totally ubiquitous among the population of the US in the 19th century US dude.

It's not just a Buddhist symbol, is the thing. It was worldwide, independently arising in cultures with no contact with each other, and it was indeed a massively popular symbol in the late 19th-early 20th century in America. It was everywhere, greeting cards, coins, badges, jerseys for sports teams, Coca-Cola advertisements.

It seems hard to believe now because that's how thoroughly it was erased from society after America entered World War 2.

It was an important symbol among some indigenous Americans, used in religious rituals and also heavily featured in Native American jewelry, which became really popular among white Americans, so there were a bunch of white Americans with swastika belt buckles and whatnot in the first quarter of the 20th century. The Navajo (I think, might have the tribe wrong) officially retired its use in ceremonies either during the war or very shortly after.

The Navajo/Diné called it the "whirling log" and they retired the symbol in 1940.

One of my coworkers heard my partner was going to get an epidural and immediately started on a rant about getting this baby started on chemicals. He also has a rant about how baldness isn't because of genetics it's because of the chemicals in our shampoo and conditioner clogging our pores and killing the hair follicles. Oh and if you drink milk straight from a cow it'll cure lactose intolerance.

In the end we didn't get an epidural because like her dad this kid has zero patience and said it's time here I come

I think actually it really was, it's not just buddhist, designs similar to it are found all across the world into very early antiquity. There's stuff like kids sports teams adopting it as a logo pre-nazis. Like it's not everywhere but my understanding is that it used to be sort of just like a sunburst, or a chevron, just a fairly normal old shape that people sometimes used for things.

Can't basically anyone fill out that form and register anything, and it doesn't actually mean anything except being a useful cudgel against the uninformed until you try and enforce it in court, at which point it would get immediately dismissed?

Also, even if a court upheld it, bootleg shirts are a massive industry. When I lived in Oakland I had a friend that worked at a t-shirt printing shop and during the playoffs when the series got close we'd watch the game and if the Warriors won and were still in the playoffs he'd have to run off to the print shop and print a ton of shirts for some guy who would sell them at the subway entrance. And there's all those places online that just steal other people's artwork and print them on shirts. All this would do would prevent large stores like Walmart and Target from selling shirts that say "From the River to the Sea" and given how Target responded to criticism for selling pro-trans shirts during pride month, there's no loving way in hell they'd sell those shirts.

I visited Ostia Antica in high school. It's a very well-preserved Roman port city about thirty kilometers outside of Rome. One of the highlights is a square behind the big theater, where vendors would set up stalls to sell food and drink. There's numerous mosaics that include swastika patterns in the tilework.

It's a fairly simple shape, it's 6 straight lines. It's an easy pattern to come up with without having seen it, just gently caress up drawing the cool S and you have a swastika. It's not surprising that it proliferated so much before it fell out of fashion.

It's like the spectrum of no - as you go from Europe to Asia they use the same sounds roughly for no/negative reactions and it's almost on a scale from west to east with west being a sound that starts with an "N" and the east having a variant on the "e" sound. - No (English), Non (French), Nein (German), Ei (finnish), Ie (Japanese) -a lot of languages use a word that either begins with n or has the i and e vowels somewhere in it, or both, Russian has "Niet", Polish has "nie" and they all fall under the English corruption of the sound "Nah". The e sound even gets used in English slang - how many times have you expressed a negative opinion with the hedged sound "eeeehh".


Obv a lot of languages don't do this Indonesian has "tidak", Arabic has "La", but it's interesting how many languages do.

Here we go again.
Comets can sometimes have multiple tails, and if they rotate in a certain way it produces a twisting tail that can be represented as a swastika. There's a 2nd-century BCE Han document that shows different comet shapes and one is a swastika. It's speculation but it's very possible that a prominent four-tailed rotating comet was seen by people all over the world some millennia ago and multiple cultures adopted it and used it in different contexts.

She was on the TV news, which is the only thing that actually matters to these braindead losers, and thus it means she is the most important leftist ever and must be destroyed.

Doesn't matter. If they can "prove" anything bad about Gretta, like that she used a carbon the other day or owns an octopus plushy, it shows that all climate activists or all people who care about the climate in general are hypocritical/bad/wrong. Even if she lived in a "perfect" manner, it wouldn't be enough, since they can simply lie about her.
