Yep. There are still swastikas all over Korea because it's been associated with Buddhists for far longer than Hitler who appropriated it. Freaks out visiting westerners, though.

It's not just Buddhists. Asatru, Norse/Germanic cultures, too. It ticks me off we have to give up things sacred to us because they've been misused. Aleister Crowley reveled in it and played it to the hilt, though. Yeats was not amused.
