Well, it does resemble the “rune”, but it is UPSIDE-DOWN. By imaging a symbol upside-down, it is, in fact a repudiation of the symbol, such as a upside-down cross for satanism.
But I think the stage managers and designers didn’t even know about the symbol in the first place, much like a Navajo rug-weaver weaving designs into a traditional rug that to us look like a bunch of swastikas.
It is the Beholder who sees things in symbols that aren’t intentional.

Well... Yes and no.
Odal, or Othala, is a rune representing stability and the home. Reversed, it would represent chaos and a breakdown of family or community.
As deeply divided as a Nation/culture as we currently are... It’s certainly apropos...
Why the National Socialists glommed on to it is a mystery to me...
#25. The “swastika” design (i.e. bend lines) has been used for thousands of years from the Buddhists to the American Indians. I saw some on old Vietnamese tombstones in So. Vietnam - Mekong Delta, because the deceased were Buddhists.
