He's kind of like Hitler, only unpopular. If he came to the kind of political power Hitler had he'd execute and isolate millions of people. Not on the basis of whether that person considers herself a jew, though, more like people who aren't sort of as civilized and progressive as he is. If he were to live at that time and place, he'd be same as Hitler, with Jews and all, no doubt. I'm telling this, because you might think that there's something magical and highly extraordinary to Hitler. However, I'm pretty certain that psychologists face these kinds of people more or less on a daily basis. It's a symptom of psychological trauma and isolation.

In Native American culture, particularly among the Pima people of Arizona, the swastika is a symbol of the four winds. Anthropologist Frank Hamilton Cushing noted that among the Pima the symbol of the four winds is made from a cross with the four curved arms (similar to a broken sun cross) and concludes "the right-angle swastika is primarily a representation of the circle of the four wind gods standing at the head of their trails, or directions."
