Why does Thor's belt in this painting have a swastika?

Riddler was just a disney marketing campaign gone wrong

What about forgotten as in stuff like the Hundred years War and the Napoleonic wars. We acknowledge and learn about them, but we don't cry or lament over them. A better word would probably be relevant. We might look a swastika today and think "A symbol of hatred and facism", people in the future might look at it and think "A symbol of an evil empire from a long time ago", which then turns into "a symbol of something that happened a long time ago and has little relevancy today".

I suppose I can see that. But then again, WWII is still very relevant today (and over the last 70 years) not just on account of the large losses of life, but due to it's political reasons. It's undeniable that WWII can be seen as an example of the dangers of political extremism, and that's something nations and governments still tackle with today.

I don't see it losing that relevance in the public mind for some time, and a symbol that represents such extremism will be popular.

There will still be a few hundred years where students scribble swastikas in their history text books.

The pledge itself was invented by some douche so he could sell flags to schools.

And remember all that stuff about the 10 commandments monuments being removed from court houses a few years back?  A lot of those were promotional pieces distributed by Paramount to promote the 1956 movie The Ten Commandments.

How much of our "cultural heritage" is just the remnants of a successful con marketing campaign? 

Holy stuff I love you.

Soon all of it will be when Fuhrer Romney declares himself god-king of the Umitted States of Amittrica and outsources Congress Inc. to China.

Apparently in my area me and my fellow students were some of the last to work with papers and books. In a few years all future students will have to have digital devices to do all their work and reading on. Makes me sad because I like books and paper. Books don't need a battery, and I like to do all my scratch work and take notes on paper. Of course now that I'm in college, all I see are hipster kids crowding around wall outlets to charge their laptops and clack away while the professor lectures away.
