What a cute little tree... Oh no Dad, it's a bad tree.

As me and my 12yr old were putting this together they noticed the bottom of the tree had a unique shape. We had a good conversation about how that symbol means other things to different groups and this is just happenstance and also points the opposite way.

I remember being a child and building a space station (it looked a bit like StarLab so I guess the station in general was on TV or in a book) with a solar array that shape, my parents were a little angry and asked where that shape came from. I didn’t have a clue so I basically just said I liked the symmetry. They told me that’s a "very bad shape and that I have to rebuild it. It ended up being 8-shaped, which was also nice.
With its angles pointing to the left, it is a symbol of death but not neccessarily "bad". With its angles pointing to the right it is a symbol of life and luck for most countries of the world what is also not "bad".
Only for stupid ppl who only know about the nazis misusing it for their shitty ideology it is "bad", but this also only counts for a svastica with its angles pointing to the right.
