Found an unopened packet in my medicine cabinet when looking for some hay fever tablets.

I got hooked on endone after my knee reco...was not fun.

all Swastikas or just Nazi ones?

Good point given the symbol was adopted from Buddhism.

Yeah, that's no fun.

Found out that my wife was prescribed them after a recent knee op, not the she needed them.

White supremacist praise of the Taliban takeover concerns US officials

As the United States-backed government in Afghanistan fell to the Taliban and US troops raced to leave the country, White supremacist and anti-government extremists have expressed admiration for what the Taliban accomplished, a worrying development for US officials who have been grappling with...

This is one of those things I got into checking out. It turns up everywhere, on every continent. Even Australia. I was actually talking to a guy who was an indigenous anthropologist at the time I found about it in Australia, he was saying "No its not recorded here" while we were sitting at his table with aboriginal art that had swastikas in it hung on his walls. Then we noticed.

It often turns up in representations of D'an D'ien or the Hara point that some martial arts students might have come across. (Its the point just below your belly button where your chi is sposed to rest.) It did in the art on that fella's wall. On a Lizard.

I read that and thought that the common denominator there is both groups are a pack of campaigners.

I wouldn’t worry about it a great deal. I am not sure why CNN is even bothering getting opinions on international affairs from a pack of racist nut jobs.

I’m sure I also saw one on an old Hindu deity too. It was reversed direction but still the same

exists in janism as well (another prominent Indian religion), the direction of the symbol denotes different meanings as well . banning the symbol is both short sighted and simplistic.

The Hindus (and also Jainas) use the swastika to mark the opening pages of their account books, thresholds, doors, and offerings. A clear distinction is made between the right-hand swastika, which moves in a clockwise direction, and the left-hand swastika (more correctly called the sauvastika), which moves in a counterclockwise direction. The right-hand swastika is considered a solar symbol and imitates in the rotation of its arms the course taken daily by the Sun, which in the Northern Hemisphere appears to pass from east, then south, to west. The left-hand swastika more often stands for night, the terrifying goddess Kālī, and magical practices.

many words and symbols meanings change over time, the word or symbol isnt the answer.

It is a tad short-sighted, but it is also very understandable considering recent history. My guess why it has never been formally banned is because it is nearly universally informally banned everywhere anyway, so any formal ban would mostly be symbolic and another legal excuse to break up far-right protests/rallies before they escalate.

one of my mates at schools dad was Vietnamese and had a small Swastika tat on his arm. Don’t think it had anything to do with nazis.

There’s a building in the top end of Collins street with a Swastika on the facade up on the top. I posted a photo of it on here years ago

edit- here it is. It’s above what looks like a Star of David which is even weirder.

^^^ so that one is anti clockwise. The Nazis rolled with a clockwise one

Coptic Christians. The Egyptian symbol in the middle is a dead giveaway.

Correction, DR was right.

Remember that kid mucking around at the back of class, if he even bothered showing up? Good

Soooo

Just imagine if we had Nazi Lizards that were Ninjas!

It might be a long day

Coptic Christians. The Egyptian symbol in the middle is a dead giveaway. The symbol was used a bit in Ethiopia, Ancient Greece and a little in Eurasia, so no surprise the backwards variant was adopted.

I think you’re right. Just searched their symbols. They don’t have a Star of David (though it looks like that’s the only thing they don’t have lol)

It’s the theosophical society

Taking a second look, you are quite right. Very similar to Coptic iconography. A bit of an odd society too.

Yeah they rehashed all the symbolism.
You can tell by the ouroboros wrapping around the cross.
another fun fact lucist trust is the publishing arm of theosophical society has a seat at the UN https://www.lucistrust.org/

And it’s based on the teachings of madam Blavatsky.

Just wanted to post something about Ivermectin because of the carry on yesterday because Rogan took it as part of his treatment of COVID-19. I’m not getting into whether or not it works for treating covid because the jury is still out and I am in no position to argue either way.

What I wanted to say is that it’s really irritating me that everyone is saying don’t take a horse dewormer for covid- der.

Ivermectin won the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.

It’s a completely safe, FDA approved treatment for many things but most notably, curing river blindness. Curing river blindness was massive. In remote areas river blindness was so bad that the majority of adults in villages were blind and had to be lead around by children, till the children eventually become blind. Ivermectin cured that and now people have their vision back and their independence restored.

So it’s really been annoying me that people who just want to pile on people taking it saying shit like “lol they think a horse dewormer can cure covid”. It’s annoying be because a) it undermines the amazing thing this medicine achieved, and b) there’s no risk taking it so if you catch covid and taking doesn’t work there’s zero risk so why not give it a go?! Of course get vaccinated but if you catch covid that’s not an option is it?
