That's not a swastika, it's a manji. The swastika's "arms" point the other way.
Originally this symbol, the manji, was (and remains) a positive symbol in many eastern cultures. There are similar symbols of luck and prosperity found worldwide, even in Europe. The Nazis wanted a symbol that was recognisable and beloved, they wanted something that people already had something of a stake in, so they took the manji and flipped it. Even their word for it - "swastika" - was taken from Sanskrit words. The whole thing was stolen from the top down.
(Edit: lord preserve me from the people who reply and then immediately block me - way to show faith in your argument, lads 👍)

True story unfortunately. That’s why routine eye checks and wearing sunglasses are important. Block those UV rays

Thats the symbol of spirituality and divinity in Indian and Buddhist cultures. Not Nazism in this context.

The swastika was taken by the nazis, it is a very old symbol from Hindu and others.
Edit: it’s a symbol of luck and prosperity, it was even used by the Boy Scouts and on coke a cola products

Why not, its the west that shat on an otherwise peacefull symbol. Lets disarm the nazies by neutralizing their version of this symbol.

Was the sauce a little too spicy for you as well? To be honest it’s a little outside mein kampfort zone.

It's so the mother's son can use the toilet and not separate from her.

Of the "Off the rack" standard beers and overall preferences, Canadian brews are stronger. I'm comparing Lagers to Lagers, as that is the most popular of the beer varieties for general consumption.
There are lots of craft beers up here too that are fortified, ice beers, etc...
The comment is primarily satirical, however, since pedantry has entered the chat, the 3 most popular beers in the USA have on average .6%ABV less than the top 3 selling Canadian brands.
Stronger is also in reference to taste profile, as Canadian lagers are characterised as having a stronger taste, with an overall hoppier profile than their southern counterparts.

Your beer is not stronger. It has to do with Canadian nationalism. Budweiser is 4.2% compared to Molson's 5, but Americans have more than Budweiser. Sam Adam's has a beer that's 27%, stronger than most wines.
