CPAC loves themselves some fascist in your face Nazi be Nazi...

It's not a dog whistle. It's a bullhorn.



Having worked with Norse and Elder Futhark iconography for years, I’m quite alert to the glyph shapes and their associations in the modern world and history.

So, why is the #CPAC2021 stage an Odal rune, and specifically one with serifs (or wings) that was used by the SS?

On look 👀



Not even trying to hide their Nazi anymore... they are repulsive. American Fascists 2021, not going away anytime soon...

Good catch. It's historic only in the sense that it's history repeating itself, redundant again. jaxexpat Feb 2021 #4

of those attending do not know anything about this. The ones who planned it absolutely did though.

Sadly, none of them care that it represents this horror.

The parade of people who are hell-bent on holding back progress in reaction to social innovation stretches back into prehistory. In the most recent decades, the sentiment carries the title, "conservative". Consumed by cowardice, they are and have always been the most fearful of their contemporaries. Afraid that the life they've conceptualized will disappear, leaving them without certainty, unendurably insecure. It's just the timeless mania, the ageless fear-of-death manifested politically. They will rise, codify, fail and fall again. Doing so for each iteration simply because the ever-evolving human condition will not stand still for them or any human construct.

Progress has growing pains. "Conservatism" has dying pains which we are all forced to endure.
