I don't really care about reclaiming it but it would be nice if people were more aware of its history so others who it means something else to could use it without worrying about offending someone through ignorance.

I think people are aware of its history. I just think they either don't care, or recognise that those meanings are small niches of meaning in comparison to a woven tapestry of genocide.

A better question is, what do you lose? The swastika being stigmatized in western/european culture does not have any positive effects that I can think of.

Even if he is only doing it to feel a sense of "smug self-satisfaction" at least it has positive effects for other cultures. We don't need to keep the symbol stigmatized, there are plenty of other things to remember what happened in WW2, all of which have no negative effects on unrelated cultures.

What's smug is when people don't want to accept things changing that do not concern them at all. Just like all the people crying over gay marriage.

Woman Claims She Found Butter Swastika On McDonald’s Chicken Sandwich « CBS Charlotte

Some woman in North Carolina got a wild hare up her ass about the butter on her McDonald's whatever-it-is laid out in the shape of a swastika. She states, ”Many people died because of that symbol....” Really? Actually NOBODY died because of that symbol--not a single, solitary person.

And somebody got fired for it. Did it ever occur to them that it could have been unintentional?? Some teenaged kid gets told to punch out and don't come back and he probably has no idea why. I mean, I'm sure he didn't have a shaved head and white power slogans tatooed all over him when they hired him (or her).

I'm more offended that people even eat at McDonalds at all. They serve crap. Being this was North Carolina, I wonder what her reaction would have been if I made a big row about how the butter on my hurlburger looked too much like a stars & bars flag and how that flag enslaved an entire continent of innocent, unoffending people. I have no doubt she'd say, "It's just a symbol of Southern pride--shut up and get over it!"

So just shut up, stuff that piece of processed garbage in your mouth and eat it, lady.

OK without falling back that the swabstika is Vadic symbol. Do you find this toast offensive? Why? Why not?

That does not look like an accidental swastika to me.
