Symbolism means complete jack shit.

A swastika, or a pentagram and a quarter will get you a steaming hot cup of crap.

A swastika is neither a symbol of peace nor war. It's a shape, a piece of art, it has no meaning.

"When I look at the Mona Lisa, I see a very upset and oppressed woman."

"Really? When I look I see a content and respectable woman."

It's a fucking painting! Mona Lisa doesn't have thoughts and feelings, neither does a fucking swastika.

Science!!!!(As opposed to God!) People look way too far into stuff for some kind of personal meaning.

What are you stupid? How about language?

All these little marks you just typed mean something because we gave them meaning. The swastika has been given meaning by billions of people throughout history.

Plus, interpretation of an artwork and the meaning of a symbol are two different things. Symbols have a specific meaning, art is open to interpretation.

Really dumb thing to say, sorry.
