It's nonsensical make-up designed to convince people of a power or vibrancy. In many ways, the Nazi's chose the powerful and mysterious qualities of the swastika as a symbol for the same reasons some would want to erect a 2000 ft tower.

.....you are digging too deep into this.
Yes, we need 2000 ft towers in Manhattan to create more peaks in the skyline. It looks pretty flat as is.
I've never seen it as a competition. Nobody cares about the third world cities putting up 2,000 towers (or 10,000 ft ones for as far as I care), I care about the look of Manhattan's skyline. Period.
