If you're pressed for time, there's always the Three Arrows

If you have to run away after step 1, don't worry. The Windows logo is still a slight improvement.
You can also just add words to rasict graf

2 is dangerously close to loss.
Honestly loss wouldn't be a bad option either for when the lines are drawn terribly
Saving this for later. Although most swastikas I've seen around are badly drawn lol
Gonna carry a sharpie around with me for When that skinhead with the tattoo on the metro falls asleep.
I thought it was going to be

I kinda like this as a solution as well. Still completely wipes the swastika and adds niche humor.
Step 3 feels like the RestOfTheFuckingOwl
Lately I've been working on this theory that the strife in the 20th century was the result of abusive and ridiculous 19th century parenting styles.
There was plenty of strife in the 19th century too but the weapons available were not as destructive.
Imagine the US civil war if one side had invented nukes.
Imagine the Napoleonic wars if Napoleon had tanks.
"connect the outside lines"
That's enough you made Windows logo
That's both wholesome and at the same time too much work for something that's probably getting defaced the next day.
Yeah but nazis tend to draw the swastika the flipped.
You can add little triangles to the end lines of each arm then a small building underneath and a swastika is now a windmill
Just add 4 dots and it's the Hindu swastika.
With two large caveats immediately apparent to anyone familiar with Hinduism:
the Hindu Swastika is not at 45° tilt
the Hindu Swastika is traditionally also never drawn in black, as far as I've personally seen. It's usually red / saffron.
I'm Indian and Hindu. Please don't try to explain my own religion to me. It can be drawn in black.

An example.
Sorry about the quality... I downloaded it (it's my own photo, just not on my phone) and it appeared in the thumbnail for a random album, but wasn't in the album. Or any album. So it's a crop of the album thumbnail.
Project Swastik was a roads improvement programme in northern India. The swastika symbolises protection and it's ubiquitous in India (and Asia).
I would prefer it if people reclaimed them instead of overwriting them. Like turning them into the center of colorful mandalas.
I would be nice if people were reminded more often that it is a wrongfully appropriated symbol, and anyone who willingly gives it away is acting as an accomplice to that, whether they realize it or not.
this is, exploitable.
Nazi re-revisionistically dogwhistling: Nazis can use this to dogwhistles with each other exactly how Norse symbols have been revisioned. Norse culture has nothing to do with Naziprop, but they can reutilize this.
I can def. see this as reclaiming tactics in say anarchist zones. But in neutral zones it could be utilized double-edged.
You're really over thinking this.
Telling people not to paint over Swastikas that sounds like a dogwhistle
Reading comprehension is something we all have to encourage. Try either finding a master tutor to guide you in antifa praxis, or rereading with a strong Black Anarchist perspective.

They might have read your comment better than you did yourself.
Then they would be composting Nazis, and making better arrows.
But I am sure that's what the “not-worth-reading” had in mind, right?
Let's see. You called for a "master tutor" of "antifa praxis" but let's assume that was a joke. You posted a link to one of your own comments and described it as "strong". And now you're implying that your own comment, when read correctly, is able to single-handedly motivate people into direct acion. It all seems a bit patronising.

Could you be a dear and point to who patronized who?
I was referring to the stuff you wrote after that but it's fine if you don't want to talk about it.
I’m a talker, it’s how we solidify.
Did you by any chance had the time to reread the thread from Quokka’s frontend?
’Cause people in PyLova can already see the little breadcrumbs I left regarding my intersectionary ways.
Let's see, do you know about turf warfare?
Wikipedia's random page? What of it?
So is love.
I am outside now in a bar. Am I not people on lemmy?
Silly inkblade, pretending to be people
How do we know he is not a lizard person pretending to be human?
On the Internet, no one knows you're a lizard person.
