cpac2021
Why is the CPAC2021 stage an Odal rune, and specifically one with serifs (or wings) that was used by the SS?
ibb.co
"This particular rendition has no historical significance outside of Nazi Germany. Because of its Nazi associations, Strafgesetzbuch 86a bans any usage of the Odal rune as with most other symbols if used in a Neo-Nazi context."
"In November 2016, the leadership of the National Socialist Movement announced their intention to replace the Nazi-pattern swastika with the Odal rune on their uniforms and party regalia in an attempt to enter mainstream politics.[9]"

Any chance it is just a stage that happens look like the Odell rune?

My best guess is that it's a stage that's been designed to give subtle message of unity, Jon.
It's a bit too obvious to have been missed by the Nazi, anti-Semitic, racist crowd in attendance, huh?

And what about the round of boos the organizers got when they asked the attendees to properly wear masks?

And what about that gold idol we've all seen by now (thanks for the early expose, Vocihc)?

The video of the 2 Cpacc folks trying the present the mask wearing speech was hilarious! As they approached the podium one could easily see that they were on the nervice side. Did they inadequately understand their audience, I wondered with tears in my eyes? I’m willing to give the 2 of them a push considering their high quality and perhaps irrefutable argument in favor of the audience donning masks. In the typical form of a trump rally, the attendees responded with boos and chants. 😂 🥴 🙃

Those 2 were definitely intimidated... this was there response.

It remains to be seen how well it works...

I seriously do not think the shape of the stage was serendipitous. If anyone knows about most commercial construction, nothing gets nailed, glued, painted etc. w/out supervisor/GC approval and the tendency of grunts following the blueprint is very high. (Unless they are high🙂)

Compare the Two Side by Side
Some SS troops wore this rune as insignia. When you look at them side by side, it is hard to Nazi the striking similarity. I think he hotel apologized for permitting this symbolism.

The K in knot is silent. There are two silent Ks in knock. Three silent Ks in Republican, and four in knickknack.
