        That’s still going to take time. It is like their main symbol. Education on that in schools will go a long way. And it’s not just Buddhist either. Native Americans and Irish used to use them to.

        Before 1930s that symbol was in magazines and shit too.

              I mean let’s count - boomers, gen x, millenials, gen z is only 4 generations later. Generation gamma or delta can decide if it’s a redeemable symbol and I cant imagine they’ll care all that much what their great (great) grandparents generation thought about it.

                  True enough. Hey if we try hard enough maybe gen Z can reevaluate it - let’s include Gen Jones and the Xennials and Zillenials
