the smiley face
the smiley face first appeared around 1953. since its conception it has been present in popular culture as an emoticon for happiness. its simplistic design has allowed for it to be appropriated easily. such as in the image below, the white supremacists have altered the smiley to look like hitler, becoming something deeply offensive, a far cry from its neutral original
the swastika
the pentagon
the cross/ crucifix
the "V" sign.
Words are but symbols for the relations of things to one another and to us; nowhere do they touch upon absolute truth. See the link below for more info.
