I'm all for it, but what kicked it off?

They might be using the wrong swastika but I get the sentiment
- Explain please. All the ones I see in the image are shaped like four adjoined letter L's which is the same way around that the Nazis used. Or are you referring to the fact that most of them aren't stood on a corner, diamond-wise?
  
  I totally forgot it's also mirrored. Thanks for pulling it up
  
  Yes and no. The one the Nazis used was / is also a symbol used in Asia. (And really, everywhere. It's a fairly basic pattern.) The Nazis used it because of their obsession with Aryans. Sometimes it's at an angle, sometimes it's not.
  Generally in the west, unless it's on a statue of budda, any swastika-ish symbol since the ~1930s is going to be a reference to Nazis though.
  
  I reckon it's the latter, I noticed it too. Nazis are the only ones who use it tilted like that, as far as I know.
  
  Let's be real here, they're the only ones that use it at all anymore.
  
  You know, the subcontinent has around a billion people on it? Who see it scattered all around, for thousands of years.
  
  Every Hindu and many Buddhists disagree. Way to just ignore almost a billion people dude. The world isn't just the west.
- see it's interesting to me because I thought it was the way it looks like it should spin that matters, with the Buddhist one looking like it should spin clockwise and the Nazi one looking like it should spin counter clockwise. Is it the 45 degree tilt that makes the big difference?
  
  It's the direction the legs go. Nazis mirrored the eastern one and then tilted it 45°.
  
  Its used both 卐 or 卍 ways in different non-nazi examples: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika
  Plenty of modern nazis don't know how to draw it though, so you can never be sure...
  
  This is glorious. Fucking idiots
  
  Well yeah, one has to think to feel empathy and compassion. It's easy to hate, place blame and ignore responsibility. I am all for peace and equal treatment, but those who refuse tolerability must be stopped.
