@stupidlittlegenius: ☮️ Everyone thinks the peace symbol means peace, but it was never meant to be groovy. It was designed in Britain in 1958 for the CND – Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, and the shape is actually two semaphore flag letters overlapped: N and D. But, it’s not that simple. The designer later admitted he based it on a sketch of himself in despair, based of Goya’s famous The Third of May 1808, which is why the symbol kind of looks like a tiny stickman inside a circle. Because it is. Anyway, by the time it crossed the Atlantic, the original meaning had vanished and people simply assumed it meant ‘peace’. But it doesn’t! And it never did! #creatorsearchinsights #peacesign #historyfacts #funfact #LearnOnTikTok

Well you could say it was peaceful because the man was in utter despair over the thought of nuclear destruction. And nuclear destruction didn’t happen. A man in despair over violence is a good representation of peace I think

I was legit told by someone when I was a kid that it was originally a satanic symbol, according to them it was the “broken cross” signifying the defeat of Christ. 🤔

“Is there anything that’s worth more—than peace and love on planet earth?” Nuclear disarmament, to my understanding?

I am an American who knew all this by July, 1965. Also that you could invert it to mean U D, “Universal Disarmament”.

Hey, why does kissing mean somewhat like love? Like loving someone or whatever that is? Why does kissing mean we have to kiss to show love to loved ones?
