 @78eac2e9 I actually know exactly what you're talking about. One criticism I have of the ADL/SPLC (which, in fairness, I think they're getting better at) is that they did a bad job of recognizing situation and context as a necessary factor. You can be into Wiccan theology, e.g., and use some of the same iconography that's been co-opted by neo-Nazis — and not even know it! (But you're also quite right that some of these communities obsessed with these symbols tend to lean that way anyhow.)
