Symbolism in Overdrive

The Georgia Guidestones were no doubt erected by people with an inflated idea of their own importance. The goal was probably to provide advice to people in a post-apocalyptic world. Their chosen alias was R. C. Christian, indicating that they were Rosicrucian mystics. That's a fairly benign esoteric order. However, once people decide to go about things in a secretive manner, there's no telling what others may make of their symbols and messages. The door is left open for all sorts of interpretations that may have nothing to do with the original intent.

With many people convinced that the elite is determined to cull the global population, the Guidstones received a lot of attention due to an apparent appeal for such a culling. While the original intent may have been to advice survivors from a nuclear Holocaust to refrain from overpopulating the planet, the alternative interpretation was that it was a call to actively reduce the current world population.

The stones became a symbol of elite hubris, and they were therefore blown up one night. This act too was done in secret. It's also symbolic, and we are now left with a new symbol. The hubris of the elite has been shattered by a late night act of vandalism.

Some have in turn interpret this as a rallying cry for the overthrow of the elite, and that was almost certainly not the original intent by the people who decided to erect the monument. But that's how things go when things are done in secret and intentionally steeped in symbolism.
