It is a deeply revered symbol of progress & continuity of life.
Associating it with evil is only a sign of ignorance.

True. It's a shame that such symbols are perverted by those adopting them
for their own ends, but we have to live with the fact that "perception is
reality" and most people "perceive" the swastika as a symbol of evil. There
are other very visible examples of this...misperception.

It would be pretty god damned stupid to argue that a swastika on a World
War II German plane was a "deeply revered symbol of progress & continuity
of life" - iin that context it was a symbol of Naziism, and nothing more.
Since I was referring to their use on German planes, I don't see how this
could possibly be "misperception".
