A lot of people who rock the three arrows nowadays at least seem to be on the level, but I think it is a terrible choice of symbol considering its historical baggage.
Trying to take the symbol away doesn't even make sense because it's not like claiming a slur where it removes much of it's power. It's literally just a symbol that means "don't trust this person they will pretend to be an ally but aren't actually, stay away" when viewed by a leftist. Trying to get leftists to use the symbol makes it less useful because then it's harder to distinguish between friend and foe.
