    This article "concludes" that the Nazis ended up being far-right wing fascists, but the country would never have fallen into authoritarian dictatorship if Hitler had not gotten the votes to power on the back of Socialist promises. Same thing happens with every "Socialist" country. They either end up under left wing totalitarianism/Communism or under right wing authoritarianism/Fascism.

    Each of those were looking for glyphs or symbols to create a character or theme. But I am glad you can see the similarity of the stage and that rune — so many don’t seem to be able to for some reason and a few others have gotten quite heated that it is even acknowledged.

    Can you highlight where anyone on this thread is "upset"? So amusing when people assume how someone else if feeling instead of asking.

    So, how's everyone feeling? LOL

    I don’t follow. That is what the poster I was speaking to typically tells me to do when I ask for a source, to “do my own research”

    Thus the quotations. Would you like me to explain how quotations work?

    I am just going by the number of personal attacks against me in this thread. I guess they could just be *******s and not really be upset. Shrug

    If you'd have done any sort of lite research this thread wouldn't be here :) The origin of the rune dates back so far that actually makes this thread satire at the very least ;)

    So you are saying you believe the stage was designed after this “rune” but it was this ancient meaning and not the Nazi one? Yes?

    The origin of the swastika goes way back in time too. That doesn't mean that white nationalists don't rally around it.

    I think that's why more of us are feeling amused than anything.

    No I'm saying that the stage is being presented as a rune from the 300AD and is somehow a NAZI insignia, and really really comical ;)

    I bet you can spot such nazi stuff at almost any Trump rally involving more than a few thousand supporters.

    Are you disagreeing that the stage resembles this rune or that the rune was used by the Nazis?

    Well, we probably don't have to worry about "Nazis" taking over America. Authoritarians and dictators usually have to wall themselves off from the public behind barbed wire and military protection.

    Oh wait.

    Usually it is just a swastika.

    But they are AntiFa plants or some other nonsense of course
