The Living Force
I have the impression that Europeans, I cannot assure that the majority, are afraid of the swastika and I don't know why, perhaps because they are not interested in History.

Indeed, what you described about the swastika is the "official version". The Nazis "turned over" the cross and it became bad. Even from Sanskrit, the word "swastika" is translated as "bring good." But is it really so? Is it possible that ancient people were cleverly deceived by those who presented themselves as Gods (they gave people culture, art, metallurgy, agriculture, etc. "goods") There are, as the C's would say, "deeper levels of reality" (literally I mean, the answers are in the depths of the earth).

What you wrote is something that may be possible.
I have not known that for the ancient Mexicans, nor for the current ones, the swastika had something deceptive or mysterious.
It is simply a moving cross, a solar sign, which represents the four cardinal points of the earth, the four seasons, the four lunar quarters, and the four primary colors, all in motion and very well known to the ancient Mexicans.
I don't see anything extraordinary about this, nor do I think it's an 'official version', although other cultures may interpret it differently.
And, yes, I think you're right, we're off topic for this thread, maybe we should open another thread, 'Symbols and some things you read about in books or the internet but that people can't understand'.
