Dood, just because nazis are Germans doesnt mean that Germans are nazis (just like fish is meat, but meat isnt fish).
One of my close friends is a German :)

Dude, you can even make a Nazi-Kreuz with a circle. (with some creativity)

Fish isn't meat.
A better example would be motor bikes are vehicles, but not all vehicles are cars.

It is.
Upgrade your minetest version, it's outdated.

A-a-a-and these are the kinds of topics that get tons and tons of posts, while good topics get i-i-i-ignored. Sure wish that trend would change.

I didn't notice it in the texture, but the jungletrees mod i forked has that shape in the branches too, and that doesn't bother at all.
'Swastika' is a Sanskrit word meaning "it is good", the symbol is 1000s of years old and has always meant something good or natural, there's absolutely nothing wrong with it and it is unfortunate the Nazis used it and that people associate it with them.
In fact, being a mischevious person i would be tempted to use it myself just to irritate people who don't know the history of it ;)

you also could regard it as a knife of a blender or as a ship's propeller

I never said the swastika was a bad thing, although I suppose I implied it. I was just wondering how many other people noticed it.
