Didn’t the KKK get their aesthetic sensibility from various medieval/early-modern religious paramilitary organisations like the Spanish Inquisition and the Holy Vehm?
Like all regressive movements, they're incapable of original thought and constantly steal aesthetic from others. Yes.
To be fair, christianity is a medley of ancient and medieval cultures and stories.
If you create brand new symbols then nobody knows what yr talking about. Borrowing other people's symbols is really the only way to be understood.
It's really not. It's just a lot easier to steal than create.
