That’s still going to take time. It is like their main symbol. Education on that in schools will go a long way. And it’s not just Buddhist either. Native Americans and Irish used to use them to.
Before 1930s that symbol was in magazines and shit too.
We had the richest man on earth throwing hitler salutes at the US presidential inauguration. I think it’s entirely possible that the swastika will be acceptable again within the next two generations. But it will be for the wrong reasons…
I mean let’s count - boomers, gen x, millenials, gen z is only 4 generations later. Generation gamma or delta can decide if it’s a redeemable symbol and I cant imagine they’ll care all that much what their great (great) grandparents generation thought about it.

You forgot the silent generation and, depending on how you look at it, the golden generation.
True enough. Hey if we try hard enough maybe gen Z can reevaluate it - let’s include Gen Jones and the Xennials and Zillenials
