It is still a religious symbol. I was in China a while ago and saw quite a few swastikas in places. Generally they aren’t black, 45° and on a white circle with a red field and grafitti’d on a wall. That’s how you know when someone is a nazi. Someone flying their national flag from their house is quite normal behaviour. I’ve done it before.

So surely by your own admission you can see how a peaceful symbol can be taken over by bad people…?
Yes. But the solution isn’t to surrender it.
It still is, depending on the context.
