Even if the symbolism or ritual is similar and creepy…seems like they clearly arent sacrificing anyone or doing actual harm. Which raises two questions.

1.) Would you like to restrict others freedom to use symbols rituals that don't harm anyone? Seems unAmerican and ripe for mission creep.

2.) If someone co-opts a symbol/ritual used in 'evil' ways, but changes the ritual ie positive intent and no harm - does that have a positive impact?

Fair - I shouldn't have directed it at you individually but I do see a lot of Symbol = bad because of context and meaning alone. Seems to me that symbols can be considered bad in and of themself, if I don't see a connection to actual bad acts and freedom of speech worship. If the symbol is used by people doing their thing but no harm, that's a freedom of speech/worship thing that should be respected
