    I’m a terrorist sympathizer. I got a lot of sympathy for those the Epstein class brands terrorists. Admiration, even.

    Miss me with all that fash shit in the image though

    • Hold it up to a mirror to get the Hindu Swastika, anyways wouldn’t classify it as a fascist symbol, it is the most basic and common symbol of hinduism that you will indeed find double digits of in any household, I would say the saffron flag is a much bigger sign of fascist tendencies, being more directly appropriated and utilized by the RSS.

        I may be wrong, but isn’t that the one in the bottom second from the left?

        I was trying to make a dumb joke about how in many Asian cultures you’ll see a swastika or manji used in a Hindu or Buddhist context, but Hindutvas put them in a religious and fascist context.

          That’s a Falun Gong symbol. The swastika is largely not a political symbol in India. You will see the swastika over just about every Hindu house’s door and in temples.

          The main Hindutva symbols are a lotus and the color Saffron. Some will invoke the god Rama infront of minorities to provoke them. There have been instances of some reactionaries shouting “jai Shri Ram” in front of Muslims or forcing Muslims to say that. And of course, there is the Ram temple controversy in Ayodhya, which propelled the BJP to power in the first place.

          Another symbol is a bulldozer because the BJP bulldozes the homes of any Muslim who opposes them.
