Same response as a “Swastika is just a sun symbol”
A symbol can change meaning depending on history.
Hammer and sickle is the symbol of oppression, suffering, dictatorship, imperialism and inequality, and it’s meaning is influenced by the actions of soviet union and china.

I didn’t say against that. The fascist powers have made their mark on the symbols that is true. As I said, it is what people associate.
Do swastikas, hammers, stars etc. have positive meanings originally? Yes
Have fascist dictatorships ussd those symbols with horrible atrocities in the past and even today? Yes
Do people generally associate the latter? Yes

Yes you are reiterating my point
Symbols are just part of language, which evolves. Drop “fag” in a conversation in the uk and nobody bats an eye. Do it in the US, however…
