The being that it is an offensive symbol
It has been used as a symbol many times by many different groups. In the case of Naziism it us the cause, not the symbol that was offensive

The symbol is associate with the cause.
The eternal return. Things repeat themselves for all eternity. A bit like the Poincare theorem.

Not just in my mind but in the minds of lots and lots of people.
But most certainly not the majority of people

In the minds of the majority of people in the West the symbol is associated with the Nazi. You can keep on denying that fact all you want but that symbol is still going to be associated with Nazism in the West whether you like it or not.
I do not deny that the nazis used it as a symbol. Funny, i am in the west as are others on here who see the whole history of the swastika, not just a few years they dont like

All it mostly means now for many is the stimulation of nerves inside of people just by hearing or reading the label or word “Nazi” or seeing a symbol.

Ok, I cheated and checked Google because the quiz said Buddha and I thought it was Hindu. I knew that it was meant to be religious.

Buddha Sakyamuni was not the first Buddha and not the only one
So yes the sign is older than 2500 year. But it is the sign of Enlightenment (Buddhahood), But other civilization may have used it differently, just like the Hitler dude did misrepresent it to something evil
Raelians taught me it was a cross with Christianity and some well-wishing in the East.
