At the Young Republican mixer Friday evening a group of Nazis, who openly identified as national socialists, mingled with mainstream conservative personalities, including some from Turning Point USA, and discussed race science and antisemitic conspiracy theories.
Maybe they mean this CPAC

They did the same to the bent cross. There’s one on the Baha’i House of Worship in Wilmette, IL. It’s there because the house of worship was designed and dedicated in 1912, so yeah WWI hadn’t quite kicked off at the time

Even though it is an Abrahamic Religion, the founding concept is Unity Through Diversity. They forgot that El, aka Yahweh, was a God of War back in The Bronze Age Collapse, and focused on the hippy commune part of Christ’s teachings.
Can we take that rune back? I’m pretty big on family, although the patriotism bit I could probably do without

Hell yeah, loyalty to your local tribe of weirdos(said affectionately)? I can fully get behind that. When I finally save up enough to get my shoulder tat, I’m gonna include Othala into it

So I finally found some time to read your link and do some general googling found a bindrune created by the “Wayfarers Mark” tumbler called the Initiate’s Bindrune that I like. I’ll definitely look into this stuff more than I have already, and I thank you for showing me this world

Yeah, I went and looked up the meaning of all the runes thanks to that chart laying out which ones were in it,and overall I’m happy with each of the vibes conveyed. The only vibe I’m not sure I identify with are the fertility vibes, but eh, I’m not AGAINST fertility vibes xD Its shape is also something I could see easily being incoporated with a “tribal” pheonix tattoo that was already going to be my eventual tattoo. I’m definitely down for further rune chats! Also I apologize for how long it takes me to respond to you, you seem like a cool person, so I’ve been waiting til I had the energy for proper responses before I respond
Wait fuck is that real?
I’m out of the loop, what does that symbol mean? Not sure how I would look it up without a name or something.
It is the runic letter Othala. It is just a letter in the runic alphabet. Beyond being a letter though often runes had an individual meeting or association in the cultures that used them.
It, along with many other symbols were adopted by the Nazis. Now among white power groups it is has a meaning of racial purity. “Keeping the white race pure”
Oh and the picture is real I looked it up.
To be fair, that rune looks really easy to make by accident.
Maybe but if you look closely at the stage. it is Othala with wings. There are little feet that come up off the legs. An iteration that I believe is exclusively used as a white power symbol. At best it was a massive fuck up, at worst it was a dog whistle. Though ultimately it is a dog whistle, for the people who this symbol has meaning will see it as one.
Spelling
Nah, the design choices by themselves are pretty fucking weird.
Thanks for the info, I only knew of the swatiska one really , didn’t know that group used several symbols. Kind of not wanting to dig too deep and be flagged is why I don’t know, I guess. Much appreciated for sharing the awareness.
Yeah that is fair, it is hard to keep track of everything especially with co-opted symbols. I know I can’t. Though here is an okay rule of thumb with Nazi shit.
Does it look “Viking/old Germanic”? No - probably not a Nazi, Yes - maybe a Nazi
Is the person using the symbol new age hippie looking? Yes - probably not a Nazi, No - maybe a Nazi
I know that leaves a lot of vagueness, but it is a good place to start. Then you can double check any suspects symbols.
Just remember different groups can have vastly different ideologies and look somewhat similar. For example the SHARPs (Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice) are very anti Nazi. But just looking at a group of them you might be confused. As they tend to be mostly militant white young men wearing leather with shaved heads.
I hate that that’s not even incorrect as I’ve met multiple Norse pagan antifascists. One common line from them is asserting that Odin is the all father not the some father.

Make it curvy and it becomes HIV/AIDS symbol.
You mean the shape of a ribbon? Ribbons have been used for all kinds of symbols.
Yes but in this case just make those angles not-pointy and the symbol will look like:
Yes, and it’s a ribbon shape, nothing to do with AIDS in particular.

I can never remember the name of the thing but after digging through some “cpac stage symbol” searches it seems to be called the othala rune or the odal rune.
Thanks for the info!
