Lol I highly doubt she cares about Buddhism. It’s likely some bougie brand shirt like Vetements or some shit and she chose to wear it because she’s rich

Sure she probably doesn’t care about buddhism, but if swastikas were more associated with buddhism than with nazism here in the west (as they are in parts of Asia) then you’d see people wearing swastikas all the time.

Also, Nazis were allies with Imperial Japan, the Korean far right adopting Nazi imagery just doesn’t make sense.

I don’t think people in east Asia automatically associate swastikas with Nazis. They’re just another shape, like stars or squares or something. They’re used on Buddhist temples or a pattern on fabrics.
