“Nazi Flag had a Swastika in a Circle, therefore circles are Nazi Symbols.”

Yes. Leftists are schizophrenic.

One of my quilt samplers has block from probably the 1800s. It could look like a swastika — and maybe it does. Some have done double takes. It stays on my wall. If idiots don’t understand context, and are easily triggered, then they’re ... well ... idiots.

I remember about 25 years ago in a Chinese supermarket seeing a box of rice with a big swastika on it.

It means it’s what we call vegan, it’s ok for Buddhists adhering to certain dietary rules to eat.

It was disconcerting the first time I saw it.

A rune was a meme before memetics.

There is no real white supremacy in any significant way, so the Left has to make it up.

Indeed the left didn’t notice that the democrat debates didn’t have any American flags and all the stands looked like check points to the camp.

Time for another conservative buycott. So many other hotel chains are cowards, so let’s support one that isn’t.

Oh, so that’s what the hysterical babbling is all about. A rune. Remember, these are people who insist that the OK sign is really a white power symbol even after they found out they got punked on 4chan.

You are all too quick to dismiss this.

I believe it was intentional.

Not by CPAC or the American Conservative Union, but by the “person” or “group” that came up with the design.

If YOU drew up a layout for a stage and it “just ended up” to be in the shape of a “Swastika”, you wouldn’t NOTICE?

They didn’t grab some homeless guy off the street or some Freeper to design the stage. (Not to compare Freepers with homeless people or insinuate that they aren’t intelligent or educated)

It was an intelligent, educated professional designer/artist or group of such people. They didn’t NOTICE (or plan) that their design was a symbol sometimes associated with NAZIS?

C’mon man, hold my beer.

The left seems to believe the only way they can get complete power like they want is to demonize their political opponents in ridiculous ways and to fearmonger among their supporters to such an extreme that they will believe literally anything. The left is aided in this by being the philosophy of group think.

Never answer rhetoric with dialectics.

They KNOW it wasn’t a Nazi symbol. By arguing to prove something they already know, you look like a fool.

Come on. This isn’t a swastika. This is some obscure rune that one specific little obscure group of SS soldiers used, not even a general SS symbol much less a general Nazi symbol. Until the mindless Twitter leftists went crazy with their slanders, who the heck had ever heard of it? I know a lot about WWII and had never come across it before.

I’m waiting for the announcement that the convention site designers are minority trans women (men?).

Yeah, because no one would ever accidentally build a Nazi symbol.

Oh, wait

And this is on a navy base.

If it wasn't intentional that design was definitely in the designer's subconscious. It was hijacked by the Nazis from Old Norse in their attempt to create an origin mythology.
