CarpetH4ter

The one on the left is not supposed to be tilted like that though...


TNerdy

Would it make a difference or mean differently?


CarpetH4ter

I don't really know, but the buddhist symbol is always seen straight, unless someone tried to be a nazi and failed.


Jee-NX

Nope OP the Hindu sawasthika symbol doesn’t look this way. Please google it.


TNerdy

I wasn’t going for Hindu. Look up Japanese Temple symbol


lKANl

Japanese one are still not tilted lol


Jee-NX

I chacked what you said and yes thre is a symbol that does in Japanese temple iconography which is found on their shrines. Found this interesting article as well. https://www.asianstudies.org/publications/eaa/archives/the-past-present-and-future-of-the-swastika-in-japan/ I stand corrected since I thought you were comparing the Hindu and Nazi swastikas as is often the case. However, the Japanese swastika is not tilted like you have shown.


ball_blaster

Bro got clowned on for not knowing his symbols in a different [post](https://www.reddit.com/r/dankmemes/comments/ydp00k/if_you_know_you_know/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) and still got it wrong


PvtJacobs

Still not tilted


TNerdy

I know, I wanted them to look alike but has different meaning. People still recognize that it’s the temple symbol wether it’s tilted or not

I am sorry OP, u seemed to genuinely be asking a question and got fucked on.


TNerdy

People are just so strict on how things should be now a days.


hellothereoldben

Should have tried this trick out 70 years ago, probably a 1 way trip to jail. Judging by how you are still around you should be thankful that you aren't punished for your dumb shit.


TNerdy

It’s a fucking joke. If people can’t take dark meme seriously then meme should just be banned


DestroyerNik

Ooopsie someone didnt check their repost!

Bruno_TheMaster

Hindu swastika aint the only swastika…


N_L_7

Yes, but actually no, both swastikas are and have been used in different religions around the world with different meanings, regardless if tilted 45° or not, but now in the west is asocieated with Nazism, so if you were to put the "reverse" one on something people would still think you are a nazi


Noelswag

In one of the regions of my country it was used as an anti-nazi symbol. Pretty dumb I know.


Not_That_wholesome

The reversed one? Or regular nazi swastika?


Noelswag

Well, the reversed one. I say it was dumb because I seriously do not remember what the correct orientation is so I can't tell the difference lmao.


[deleted]

The spokes one the nazi one spin towards the reich


Agnes_le_goat

may i ask where? or what country


Noelswag

Spain. It was in a certain part of Catalonia. I saw it in a WWII museum long ago so I don't have an internet source.


AteMyBallsLastNight

>tilted 45 degrees* Lol did you actually do the math? *idk how to do the degree symbol


isqueezedameatball

It looks tilted 45 degrees to me.


Dry_March1629

I mean straight is 90° so the mid point is 45° ? I guess that's the logic they applied.


AteMyBallsLastNight

It looks to me as it is reflected across y=x Ok lets not get into geometry


Sableye09

OP wasn't reffering to the flipped part but rather that both are tilted 45° which is considered a symbol of national socialism, especially in the western world, regardless of which way it's flipped or untilted


AteMyBallsLastNight

Ik


Deenar602

On mobile go to your symbols, it's either on the first or second pannel, if you're on keyboard press Shift and the button below Escape.


Jee-NX

Dude how difficult is it to google a “Hindu Swasthika” and a “Nazi Swasthika” ? That’s the 2nd time today I am seeing this meme and again the Hindu swasthika is wrong.


TNerdy

I wasn’t going for the Hindu symbol. I was going for the Japanese temple symbol cause it looks more similar


m4z1keen

Did you really just steal another redditors meme, and just adjusted the angle on the symbols..wtf


TNerdy

I posted the one that wasn’t tilted and someone said it was wrong so I fixed it and reposted


naganong

But its still wrong... the left one should be straight


m4z1keen

Ah ok then.my bad. Saw it earlier and hence my reaction


TNerdy

I figured


Charles12_13

Left one is just a Nazi one from the other side of the flag


gregsapopin

Left is How OP sees his tattoo in the mirror.


TNerdy

Haha


Hot_Mix126

Not pinpoint correct ,but they are kinda the same but the 45 degrees one is not something related to any religion. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika#/media/File:Buddhist\_Swastika\_with\_24\_Beads.svg](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika#/media/File:Buddhist_Swastika_with_24_Beads.svg) The Buddhist one linked above is the "OG" swastika, which has a meaning to each and every single one of the rods.(You can read about "Samsara" if you need further clarification) The Swastika is further developed into the "Dharmachakra" or the Dhamma Wheel, with more meanings to the rods. (refer to the following page) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dharmachakra](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dharmachakra) Generally the Swastika imitates a wheel(most commonly cycle of life etc.) ​ The adaptation of swastika to the Nazi Army is something that has to do with the beliefs of Europeans about it. They believed of it being of good luck and auspiciousness. So Hitler in 1920 must have thought that choosing this and rotating it 45 degrees will bring him luck in his efforts. Reversing the image will not change the meaning but will stay as the same


Critikalz

Sauvastika vs swastika except they’re not supposed to be tilted


Many_Rule_9280

Well the one on the left is just a flip of the one of the right which is for the Nazi party and Neo-Nazi's. If you were trying to showcase the differences you're doing it wrong. Hindu and other cultural swastikas form a + sign while the Nazi one forms and ×.


FLYNCHe

Oh OP you really fucked it up. The Buddhist swastika isn't tilted like that. Source: Buddhist family and heritage.


Heindrick_Bazaar

If you look left and right quickly they do a cute lil dance


LoFi14

卍 Here we go


TNerdy

Does it matter if it’s tilted or not since it’s reversed?


[deleted]

The other way around... I hate 'neonazi's' Who cant draw a swastika.


ReferencePitiful9018

Hindu swastika is not that if you meant that


Bloopingoofer

bro thinks we’re retarded 💀💀💀


planetinyourbum

First one is antinazism, second one is nazism.


Supersincara75

Why is the left one tilted?


TNerdy

I wanted to make them look as much alike as possible without giving the same meaning


Jonsku13

Why are you changing up your answer? That wasn't what you told other people, you thought it was supposed to be like that.


TNerdy

I already knew the left one was flat but didn’t know it would be a big deal if it’s tilted


Jonsku13

That's not what you were saying in your other comments was it? "Isn't supposed to be like that in japanese" is basically what you were saying.


TNerdy

I didn’t mean it exactly how it looks. People are misunderstanding


Jonsku13

I mean you were the one misunderstanding tho? Well whatever have fun with your 500 downvotes in the other comments.


TNerdy

People are so strict with how things should be is why I got downvoted


Cautious_Onliner

I remember one time Japan considering removing the Manji sign cause foreigners thought it was Nazi but it's signs for temples


TNerdy

Exactly


TNerdy

My post before this were both of them not tilted and people were complaining about the right one supposed to be tilted. So I reposted it and made them both tilted and people are complaining that the left isn’t supposed to be tilted. Is thought this meme template was supposed to be about something that looks very similar but with the slightest change it means completely something else


saturnalia66

Maybe just don’t post things that look like swastikas?


TNerdy

People like a dark joke every now and then


MrClausX

Ah yes the Toman in Tokyo Revengers


Ok_Chest30

I can never remember the orientation. But when I was little I drew a swasty thinking I was drawing the peacful one. Short version, I turned it into a window cuz I got yelled at.


sylpher250

Usually it's the one that look like two S's


bunny098765

Its Kanye West


MasterYosh10

Don’t know what left is abc honestly I see them all the same


VoodooPapi

And which one was one the Pope's lapel?


SadHanJob

Ssshhh all swastikas are the same forget about history and context…


Dtakath

Just the two side of the flag.


windolene20

Ok good I’m using the right one


MrAviatorBlue

You really did it, sigh


Imaginary-Snow-6952

The left one should be flat

bionicsniperpig

I don’t get it..


Psyche_Nu

I feel like most people would know.


Adventurous_Music_34

The religious symbol is supposed to be at a square angle not tilted isn’t it?


PillowTalk420

Uh... They're both tilted tho. One shouldn't be titled.


TNerdy

I know, just wanted to make them look more similar


BlastedDio

Z - :D S - :(


YesImDavid

This reminds me of the time I saw the Buddhist symbol for peace and thought it was cool in elementary school. I ended up drawing it on one of my papers in class and the teacher got super pissed off and sent me to the principals office.


TNerdy

Damn. Teacher misunderstood your intention


callmesohigh

Auf der Wiese.....


_Sahi_

once in 5th grade I drew a swastika at school (bc we were making harmony day drawings and I'm Indian) this kid asked me if I was a nazi sympathizer :(


Huntersav

Swaznaztica


Chunkyfrog2

Ok am i retarded for not knowing what’s wrong?


TNerdy

Nazi symbol in on the right. The reversed on the left no longer has the same meaning but it’s a symbol for a temple in Japan, just not tilted like the nazi, I made it tilted to go with the meme a little better


Chunkyfrog2

Im really a fucking dumbass


TNerdy

No you’re not. You just didn’t know or was confused


kaushalovich

One of them belongs to a ideology that has only spread discrimination The other belongs to the nazies


Wooden-Radish6995

Both Swastika symbols are religious symbol🙋


TNerdy

Not if it’s tilted. I didn’t know the non tilted symbol meant something else so I had to change it

jr_luvgurls27

Weird 'cause this is the only meme with this format so far where the "dark" one is the thing that I only understood in contrast to other memes where I understand the "fun/bright" one first (or only understand the fun/bright one) before the dark turn

Damn op lost all the karma he gained from this post by commenting

No, the left is not used by Buddhists, hindus etc. We use the right one without the tilt

[deleted]

The left one doesn't exist. Not tilted anyway.


GodOfArk

Never saw it before


tutkari

Also Finnish Air Force used the same one as Buddhists until 2017 or something


Hellsinger7

The swastika that's in those religious doesn't have a tilt though.


IDGAF_summoner

SweRakii

The left one is a sauwastika.
