Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

Also the "How to into inquisition" book looks way too long. All it needs is a single line reading "Heresy? *BLAM!*"

Just saw a news report about how people were flying a flag from an airplane that had a swastika saying "Swastika = peace = love", and how people were disgusted at the symbol.

It is a buddist symbol of peace and love.

I heard it was an old Viking symbol. Clearly the swastika gets around.

There are only so many arrangements of lines and circles. Symbols have quite a lot of overlap.

Aye. The swastika's got a fair number of different sources, many of them not particularly related. It's not exactly a complicated arrangement of lines, and cross-type stuff in general is pretty incredibly common as symbols go.

Everyone who has ever played Catan has started arranging their pieces in patterns only to unintentionally place their cities in a swastika pattern.

I heard it was Japanese, which would neatly explain how it came to be Nazi German

It's not in any way specific to Japan. It's part of hinda and buddhist symbolism and spread east and west from there. In the West, it's all over the place in the Bronze Age areas, no specific link to vikings etc. So it is on ancient Greek coins, Roman tunics, Armenian artifacts, Germanic stuff, Slavic stuff etc etc.

Amusingly Ireland had a shop called the Swastika Laundry founded in 1912.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika_Laundry

They had delivery vans that were red, with a black Swastika on a white background.
