Symbols of the movement

The progressive movement is getting well underway, and as I have long believed that the left should try to take a two-can-play-at-that-game approach to dealing with hate symbols and right wing symbols in general.  I think that if they use the confederate flag, we use the union flag (US flag with 30-33 stars), if they use the NAZI flag, we use the flag of the French resistance, and recently, the far right has unveiled their new logo: ᛟ, the rune œþel, which means “ancestral land”, which, to be fair, is kind of a nativist thing, so fair enough, and as such, we should come up with our own runic symbol, and I have a few, with guidelines upon how to use them.  But first, I give you the rune of progressivism: ᚱ, to symbolise progress.
