Swastikas
Mar 30, 2005, 07:54
Mike,

Nothing to do with marking stones.

You're big on swastikas. Backwards facing ancient ones that mean peace. You spend a lot of time explaining those aren't Nazi symbols, but good ones.

But tell me, what if a lot of people find it offensive, simply because they are put in mind of the Nazi symbol? In that case, is it really necessary to keep flaunting and promoting it? It's only a pattern after all. It's the concept of peace that matters. You could use the ban the bomb symbol instead, for instance, and get the message out much more clearly and cause offence to no-one.

Looked at like this, maybe, your mission to foist your idea that the backwards facing swastika should be "reclaimed" is actually a rather fascist act and the backwards facing swastika, like all symbols, has now changed in meaning?
