"The salute dates back to ancient Assyria as a symbol of resistance in the face of violence"

Perhaps an Eagle (used by many autocracies and fascist governments) would be a better solution?

Saphareas commented 7 years ago

An Eagle is also used by USA, Germany and other democracies, so maybe not that good. I would suggest a crown, or maybe a surveillance cam like in 1984.

TristanBomb commented 7 years ago

Hmm, a crown implies hereditary monarchy. A gavel, perhaps?

elifoster commented 7 years ago

Maybe a marionette?
