The link between runic writing and white supremacists in Europe and North America is not at all this weirdly obscure thing. I mean, it's probably foreign to non-white supremacists, sure. Which is kind of the point. CPAC did not in any believable fashion 'accidentally' do this; the people involved in giving the final green light to the stage design may not have had any understanding of what they were signing off on, but the person responsible for the actual pen-to-paper design of the thing, maybe even a few lower-level people in the approval process......... yeah, it is very very very hard to believe that they didn't know what they were doing here.
And who says that the people who did this have any connection to white supremacists? You and others here are engaging in circular logic, in which you are using your proposition as proof. You admit that people who aren't white supremacists likely have never heard of this rune. I sure haven't, and not only have I read a lot of WWII history, but I grew up on an era where not only did the History Channel actually do history, but they played so many WWII documentaries that people called it the "Hitler Channel." I don't recall seeing this rune once. But you assert that the people who designed this
must have done so intentionally, which means you are assuming they have an intricate familiarity with obscure (and this rule is obscure) Nazi iconography. Of course this stage design is proof that the CPAC organizers are Nazis. Why? Because only Nazis would know about this rune. But that's assuming they
did know about the rune. Who says? Who are those people? Where is the proof that they know anything about uncommon WWII Nazi symbols?
Do you think it’s odd to apply “beyond a reasonable doubt” logic to this debate? I’m guessing not, it may seem natural to you, but it’s making you seem like a crazy person.
Wait, you guys aren't trolling??? You actually
believe that this was some deliberate low-key shout out by the organizers of CPAC to white supremacist organizations? You actually believe they sat in a room and thought to themselves 'We have to get a message to all our nazi friends that we heart them, but how? I know, we'll design the stage to look like some obscure nazi symbol! Brilliant! Dumb lefties will be totally pwned.' Like, you actually believe that...for real?
Yikes. I mean, you do you, my dudes...but maybe lay off the Dan Brown books for a bit.
I don’t understand why this argument is hard to follow.
Someone was a big fan of this old Nordic symbol about heritage. normally, when making a decision like the stage design, you would do background, and considering the nazi associations with the symbol is apparent after 5 seconds of research, the notion that anyone responsible for the design is unaware that it’s a nazi thing, is ridiculous. So either, you are good with the association to the nazis, or you don’t care. And to us, this last sentence is bad, nazi stuff is bad and making your stage a nazi thing makes you look bad. But, back to my earlier thought, for you and shyster, apparently, absent murdering Jews and communists, you aren’t an actual nazi, so it’s all hysterics
