Hey what if we're doing that and it is you, the person getting mad that people noticed this thing and are talking about it at all, who are keeping the conversation centered on it

Yes, that comment about how symbols matter made deep in a thread about how the virtuous thing to do is ignore symbols entirely proves your point

This is the level of argument I've come to expect from you when talking about things that trigger you (eg the idea that sometimes symbolic mappings shift, apparently)

sad! well i guess the only way to earn your approval is to buy into the idea that the people talking about how symbols are "one of the most important parts of movements" and have "incredible power" are the ones really not getting overwrought about symbols around here

Gosh, I guess if someone responds to your argument saying that symbols don't matter by saying they do (which is entirely reasonable given that the right has put nontrivial effort into establishing it) that must mean they're completely irrational.

I think it's less "symbols don't matter" And more "THIS symbol doesn't matter, because it's use/misuse ratio is off the charts." It'd be like if the whitesoups all started using waving or saying "hi" as a symbol... Wait... That's almost exactly what's happening here.

I think some militant islamist should claim that two thumbs up is "theirs" and is basically Shahada Then we will have leftie rags screeching about perils of OK and rightie rags screeching about perils of TWO THUMBS UP

Didn't that actually happen accidentally? A load of radical imams used the "one finger pointing up for emphasis" sign, and then dingbat righties started tying every politician who used it to "SUPER SECRET SUPPORT OF SHARIA"
