Wonderful. And I say this just a few days after some nut bars in my community spread some antisemitic flyers all over town denouncing the Jews and claiming we are behind the “Covid agenda.”
Symbols do not contain inherent meanings; they only impart the meanings we give them. It’s too bad this beautiful one was co-opted by evil.
Yes, maybe it is too soon. Unfortunately, our society is still too immature to either stop demonizing our perceived enemies or to differentiate between different intentional uses of symbols.
This is just where we are.
As usual, your writing is inspiring in its refusal to accept the received truth. Brava!
Thanks for at least considering what I said. I'm sorry to hear there's been anti-Semitic ugliness in Michigan, but I'm not surprised. Americans be crazy, and Canadians are beginning to, as well, boosted by the white supremacists of the Freedumb Convoy.
(But wait a minute! I thought it was the Chinese behind the 'COVID agenda'! BTW, I had it two weeks ago. Now I'm not sure who to blame...the Chinese, the Jews, Bill Gates, Dr. Fauci, Hunter Biden's laptop... :) )
I don't know what the answer to our problems are, but I would say it starts with misogyny and the desire to dominate. Which is a guy thing, not a gal thing. But I do see it as the root of all humanity's problems, and 'white supremacy' is simply a viciously toxic manifestation of toxic masculinity.
