There's a difference in what is being commemorated.

TB — 3/28/2009 10:15:08 PM (archived)

Remembering Good Friday or the liberation of the Hebrews from slavery, vs. the notion that civilization is a cancer on the Earth.

It's not the symbolism itself that's the issue. It's what's being symbolized. The crowds at Nuremberg rallies were connecting to a "cause greater than themselves." That alone does not make something a virtue.
