Maybe I'm giving people too much credit, and I'm sick of arguing about this because, in my mind, seeing a bunch of swastikas isn't going to make me anti-semitic.

I even sometimes find it funny (especially when people draw the arms wrong); but maybe for others it really is just a way to spread their ugly hatred, and that's not at all what I'm trying to defend.

I think the problem with this argument is that we're both actually right, but only in certain situations.

Right, apologies for not catching that. The point still stands though, you have to understand the context behind the usage before you attribute its meaning.

Trolls/kids will always go for the taboo, regardless of their actual beliefs... simply because they're taboos. Maybe if we stopped recoiling in fear everytime some idiot draws a swastika they'd stop doing it.

Actually, that's exactly what will happen in something like 20 years. Ancient history stops being taboo.

As a Polish person, the reason kids draw swastikas is precisely because of the taboo and rustling jimmies. They are not anti-semitic and likely don't really know anything about it.

These writers whose families weren't even directly affected by the war should get over themselves.
