Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

The swastika exists in both orientations and any rotation, but the Nazi-symbol was the flipped version of the one depicted.
Yes, so reversing it makes it actually the original religious symbol, and NOT the nazi symbol.
This "orientation" debate is pointless, especially since Elon is absolutely the type of shithead to do that for plausible deniability, but even further:

They weren't copying the Hindu/Buddhist/Dharmic symbols, though you better believe Aryan theorists had opinions on it.
In form, yes, but the intent is clearly for it to be the Nazi symbol.
