nationalists/fascist

Yep, they will use anything any book, song, symbol, idea, technology, and appropriate it for their nefarious horrific (genocidal) ends.

Like probably many people know, the swastika was appropriated by Hitler from an ancient indo Euroasian symbol for lifeforce, happiness and sanctaty.

But yes , I agree, if that’s the point: no sane person would use that symbol or other associated ones anymore.

Because the meaning and the charge it now has. Same goes for songs and lyrics, especially in these trying sceptical times. We must remain watchful.

So no disrespect was intented, nor was it meant as glorification of fascism. I was maybe naively so, in the mindset of a United Europe atmosphere.

added: just realised that as geopolitics are changing dramatically, it does fuel a more national European sense of belonging.

This feeling triggers our Trauma with Fascism ofcourse, and invokes rational and logical fears of a fascist resurgence. Especially in the light of the extreme right. It is hard to find yourself in the position were you wish to protect and defend your way of life, culture, identity, borders, friends and family, whilst not fearing becoming a monster yourself.

We have come a long way since ww 2, and we need to defend and guard our hard earned Human Rights and equality based society, empathy, and democratic values & lifestyle, on all levels. So this goes for the individual, regional and European, and all other levels.
