Thanks for taking the time to enter a dialogue with this guy. tbh I don’t think he has a rational reason for using it. He likes the power & reaction it gives him, and his denial of it’s links to white supremacists is a complete cop-out. I wonder if he realises that the swastika is actually a symbol that predates Hitler’s use by millennia? In most of Asia, the swastika has been used for thousands of years and is still used as a symbol of harmony and peace (used in Buddhist & Hindu temples, shrines , houses) — I wish more people in the West would know this so that the power of fear it has would be diminished from those who try to “own” it. I hate that supremacists have taken something so peaceful and corrupted it. The irony is that the real owners are millions of mostly yellow and brown people around the world. I think it’s time we educate ourselves to give back ownership of it and take away the power of the swastika from those who stole it. https://medium.com/@PoTien/branding-the-swastika-irony-4ceb9ccb4074#.ldcmr5cdz
