Is Mise,

I'm not evading the question at all.

I thought I made it quite clear that
the swastika should be banned for
those who are going to use it for
promoting hatred and white supremacy.
You're not one of those people I would
assume.

As for banning the Mercedes? It as far as I
know was only one of many cars that played a big
role in Nazi Germany. German manufacturers supported
the Nazi party and donated cars and donated money.

However, it was the swastika that most people identify
as a Nazi symbol - not the Mercedes car.

Foxy,
No, you did not make it clear; so are you now happy with Hindus, Jains etc., in Australia using the Swastika?
The belt, bye the way, is not meant for wearing but is in the nature of the belts on which Horse Brasses are displayed.
I treasure it muchly as each of the seven symbols on it was hand made by each of the men in my team of pump installers.
Each Stirling engined pump stands about 7 feet tall weighs nearly a ton and drives a pump 1 1/2 inch diameter by 8 inch stroke, they are highly inefficient but can be run on dried cow dung so they are cost effective to run; beef or mutton dripping can be used for lubrication if the sump oil supply runs out.
The mate’s father bought 50 of them in around 1900 and, at last count there were still 6 in storage..
All but a few of the originals are still working, those that aren’t were washed away in floods.

"I have an ornate belt that has a Swastika" Issy, is that the one good old Heinrich gave you when you joined the SSAA?

Is Mise,

I said that only the Nazi swastika should be banned
in Western nations. And many of those nations that
suffered under the Nazis have banned the Nazi symbol.
Including - Hungary, Poland, Lithuania, Ukraine, and
even Germany itself.
I did not say that any other ancient versions
resembling the swastika should be banned. The ancient
versions are used for totally
different purposes - be they - decorative or religious.

We appreciate your explanations about your belt and trust
that your misunderstanding did not cause you any undue
concern.

Take care.

Is Mise,
