I swear I remember the nazis lost ww2. Must be that damn mandela effect again.
Like, even from a standard design perspective (political stage design is my passion), it's somewhat menacing. I mean it fits the general aesthetic of the Right; hard angles, odd negative space, the vague feeling that they are singling YOU out. This thing is pointing at something. It's an arrow, a missile, a fucking drone. Menacing. Also what the fuck is up with that podium placement? It's in the -middle- of the spearhead. It highlights, the ONLY lighter hued space on that stage, it's set apart from the rest. It kinda implies the the idea that the speaker is separate, they are above and far from the masses.
-This is all just a quick psychological assessment. I doubt most of what I said was a conscious decision. All of the menacing and psychological effect design work (as far as using this as a political totem) was done for them... by whom? Take a guess.
-ALL OF THAT BEING SAID: this is too specific a shape to be a mistake. It's weird. It's uninviting. I don't know if I fully buy the "Oops. I didn't even notice!" Line of hypothetical rationalization. Way too on the nose to be a mistake. AGAIN: this is just a take, I've done nothing other than look at it. There's a large grain of salt over there, ya might wanna take it.
It's this an open declaration of Nazi sympathies or is it an attempt to gaslight the left "Nazis? You're being paranoid, it's just a stage man"
My guess is it's a dog whistle to rebuild support from the QAnon "gold trim on flags means something" crowd and keep them from making a splinter party like rumored.
Bleh, I think this is just a coincidence . How many people actually know that sign? The mainstream fash in this country get by on just USA symbolism, no need for overt nazi shit.
Could be, but it's a pretty strange shape for a podium.
My guess is some of the people in charge of designing the podium are actual fash, I don't think it's indicative of some hidden fash cabal pulling the strings behind the scenes or whatever, at least not any more than usual.
Anyone that spends anytime in the fascist communities will see dozens and dozens of coopted norse symbols just like this one every day. Pagan communities have to keep lists of the symbols that are vague and distant enough to reference without making the error of signalling to fascists.
All right so here’s the problem: ppl keep saying Josh Hawley is gonna be the next stage evolution post Trumpism of reTHUGlican party into a full blown blood and soil type nationalism party. But this Josh guy is no Trump and even less Napoleon-like energy, he’s got extreme debate club Ted Cruz type characteristics. And by the end of the day, he has to navigate upwards the Republican big donors list instead of Trump’s jumping the queue. I mean... politically speaking, Josh Hawley is dangerous, yes, but his low energy is deemed very unlikely to turn the wave (into Americanized mask off Nazism) rather than riding some future trend which non of us being aware of what it is, at least for now.
isn't that the satanic ant symbol used in Twin Peaks S3?
