You're cherry-picking, poorly, from the Wikipedia article.

How does your selected sentence help your point?

> The swastika symbol, 卐 or 卍, is an ancient religious symbol in various Eurasian cultures, now also widely recognized for its appropriation by the Nazi Party

Also you tried to pick the two visual representations that are the most different, but the first image in the article[1] has the subtitle "The swastika is a symbol with many styles and meanings and can be found in many cultures."

The second image's subtitle says "The adoption of the swastika by the Nazis and neo-Nazis is the most recognisable modern use of the symbol in the Western world."

I have to say I find it odd when people choose to die on a hill of being obviously, provably wrong about something Nazi-related.
