Swastikas Are Appearing on Google Maps and People Have Taken Notice
1st December 2018
The Estrogen Post does what it does best, vix. vapors.
Swastikas have been in existence for thousands of years; a variation of the symbol became a ubiquitous feature of Nazi symbolism and an emblem of Aryan race identity, racism, and anti-Semitism. However, the symbol has far more positive messaging in many ancient religions from the cultures of Eurasia, standing for things like divinity and spirituality. Prior to the Nazis appropriating the symbol in the 1930s, it long meant “good luck” in the Western world.
It’s for this reason that Google Maps allowed users to search “points of interest” via the swastika icon. Google told HuffPost that the image seen on users’ Maps app is “not a swastika” but rather a “Buddhist symbol of worship.”
Well, yeah, it is a swastika, just one that rotates in the opposite direction from the one the Nazis used.
Despite their being used as religious icons, Google said that the symbols are being used incorrectly in some places.
I would be interesting in finding out what ‘Google’ (actually, the support people who made this statement) believes is an ‘incorrect use’.
It is an unfortunate fact that people have discovered that SJWs such as those who work for the Estrogen Post will wildly overreact whenever they encounter stuff they consider Politically Incorrect, and the more adolescent among us are beginning to amuse themselves by using such stuff to trigger entertaining reactions on the part of the overly sensitive. SJWs have demonstrated rather consistently that they don’t cope well with such behavior.
