If you refuse to read all information you've requested, you're refusing to review information for relevancy.
It really does explain your sometimes-skewed perspectives.
Anyway, haha, here's the thing about swastikas: the Third Reich used them. In the Third Reich, people blinded themselves to potentially relevant information, because if they did not, they might come to question whether MIGHT (the Nazi Party) was RIGHT. Those who questioned were often brutalized, up to and including the concentration camps that most associate with "killing of Jews" but which killed alot more people than just the Jewish. ANYONE who questioned the might of the Party, who refused to toe the line, was subject to the same cruelties.
After WWII, some people took up some of the causes, including Hitler's famed "Aryans supreme" (interesting, since according to history, Hitler couldn't have been Aryan in the first place - a bit like Harry Potter's Voldemort going after mixed and mudbloods, when he himself was mixed, not pure) which became "white supremists" although at some point in history it becomes hard to tell whether these supremists are neo-Nazis, Ku Klux Klan, or a hybrid.
So,there's a lot of bad history behind the swastika, history so horrid to contemplate that it's astounding that anyone with "good" intentions thinks the bad history can just be forgotten. And that's where your post comes in... people in the might just can't conceive that anyone who'd post something about the swastika had benevolent (non-malicious) intentions. So, rather than explain, these people used their might to try to ensure you toe the new party line.
