I know that Hitler was a bad guy. Really! But why detest everything he coopted? Many have a very different meaning in reality. ‘Swastika’ is Sanskrit for a symbol of peace and wellness. Similarly, the Aryans were an ancient race, whose lineage still exists in the world today among a huge population (I’m talking about genealogy, not the eugenics concept). I’m one of them. But we rarely discuss that - not because of the Nazi link, but because it hardly makes any difference today. (However, our language is still very similar to the Aryan language.) What we actually like is to explore other languages, cultures and traditions and absorb their best - something I hope we can all agree isn’t very Nazi-like.
I swear I just heard about an open-source project that got renamed when the creator realized the name sounded like “aryan”, how many of these are there??
Dude idk… Reads like Aryan (Hitler’s version) to me and I don’t like it.

It used to be called Serpent OS but Ikey thought the name was a bit silly/immature if I remember correctly
