I heard [possibly unreliably] that the Nazi swastika was an inversion of a Roman symbol for good luck.

Looks like it inverted their luck, too.

A lot of people have used the symbol under different meanings.
Doesn't change how the modern world thinks about it.

The Greeks used it because of its symmetry.

From this you could start a conspiracy theory that the Nazis discovered time-travel and left their mark across history.

Or more logically, the Nazis used the manji as their sign, and then when they got portrayed as horrible people, the manji got a bad rep by association.

Naturally. They have a representative in every government in the universe, secretly undermining society as we know it in order to bring rebirth to the Reich.

The Nazi flying bell being cited as UFO sightings across time and space, because they can approach the speed of light, time in the area around them bends, more appropriately they do not travel quickly at all, but bend time to such an extent that they appear to travel faster than light, resulting in 100% of alien sightings, loss of time referenced in many UFO Sightings, as well as why the American NASA (which is a division of the department of defense) would censor images of the moon, and other astral bodies. because concrete evidence that Nazis where the first on the moon, discovered time travel, and have massive lunar colonies, would cause open revolt on a global scale.

and they used a religious icon as their symbol, but more importantly as a focus, because the bell functions through the mind, possibly via pure belief, or a psionic focus.


Now that stated, I have a question...

What does any of this have to do with art?

This makes me wonder about the cyberpunk one sees surrounding suggested Nazi super-technology, I've always wondered if it has a specific name like Nazipunk or Reichpunk.

Anyway, this discussion is all well and good but I feel a bit bad for pushing MLC's work off the page, so imma bump it up here:

MLC, I like the gun. The way it sort of looks like an antique and at the same time it's a plasma gun reminds me of Fallout. I'm not a fan of the color scheme though, seems like you're trying too hard to use different colors in your piece and they don't really add up to show form so instead it looks a bit toy-ish. The blue on the under side of the slide is a bit confusing to the eye, especially with the blue background. I think the grip could be worked on, maybe try to make it more curvy and ergonomic. Other than that I do like the design of the slide.
