    I'd say that is a conspiracy theory

    do you still think it looks nothing like a rune?

    I think conspiracy theorists are seeing what they want to see.

    and I think you are either blind or lying if you think it isn't identical

    Who is Asher Whites and why should I listen to his opinions?

    His profile says : Historian. Democrat. Tulane Alum. Gun Violence Survivor.

    If it didn't say Democrat then maybe but I think it's both bias and buying into conspiracy theories. He is actually spreading it .

    nobody is asking you to care about his opinion. the shape of the stage is identical to the rune in the other pics, yes or no?

    The 30 St Mary Axe in London is said to look like a gherkin. I dont think it was designed to look like a gherkin. It's just a similarity.

    The stage design and its supposed similarities to a German ww2 unit symbol is the same kind of thing

    Ie it's not intentional

    "supposed similarities"? so you are saying that it is not identical in shape? could i possibly get a straight answer? any chance of you being honest?

    It does look quite similar in certain ways. Maybe from an above angle.
    But the 30 St Mary Axe also looks quite similar to a gherkin to some people. I just see it as a building.

    I suppose it's all in the individual eye and opinion

    It is identical. absolutely identical. so you are either blind or lying. I know what my money is on.

    You cant just start calling someone a liar because they dont agree with your opinion.

    Can we at least just agree to disagree ?

    I didn't call you call you a liar because you disagreed with my opinion. That the shape of the stage and the shape of the rune are identical is not a matter of opinion. They are a matter of fact, simple geometry. that you refuse to admit they are the same means you are lying.

    I think they're being disingenuous.

    i prefer to just call it lying.

    If it was just the stage, it could be argued that its just coincidence. But there have been numerous examples of Nazi iconography/symbolism being used over the past few years. From campaign ads that Facebook had to remove because they invoked the image of an upside-down red triangle associated with Nazis, to t-shirts with an Eagle similar to a Nazi Eagle symbol, to repeated links to the number 88 (linked to the letters HH for Heil Hitler).

    Again, most of that on its own, you'd dismiss as coincidence, or people seeing what they want to see. Me? I see it as people within the GOP/Trump-party who throw in as much of this as they can because they believe they're "trolling libs" and whatnot. Same way they use the White Power hand gesture as often as they can.

    But of course, the more you do that kind of thing, the more it becomes a truer reflection of who you are. As the saying goes "Even if you say you're only f*cking goats ironically, you're still a goatf*cker"

    If one of the two big parties in the states genuinely is using white nationalist iconography, then I have to conclude that the country is even more polarised than I thought, and it makes me wonder what kind of reckoning is coming down the road.

    it isn't aimed at you then. It is aimed at the white supremacists who would recognise it. It is a dog whistle.

    Is Joe Biden a Nazi too ?

    Interesting article
    https://www.spiked-online.com/2021/03/02/so-is-joe-biden-a-nazi-too/
    Is Joe Biden a Nazi? I only ask because he’s doing a lot of the same things that the previous incumbent of the White House did, and that guy was always being called a Nazi.

    This is the Orwellian duplicity of the world we live in now. Political language, Orwell said, can be twisted ‘to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable’. And so it is that ‘kids in cages’ are now ‘youths in overflow facilities’; and bombs are now ‘quiet’ and ‘competent’ rather than reckless and dangerous; and what was denounced as a fascistic attack on the free press when Trump was doing it is repackaged as a necessary ‘reining in’ of ‘misinformation’ now that Democrats are doing it. Reality is putty to the new elites, something they must mould to their own tastes and interests. Their self-serving dishonesty and self-aggrandising propaganda must not go unchallenged.

    Ah yes, Spiked a publication that was so contrary that they jumped to defending Jimmy Savile. The first pertinent point is that the media are not all suddenly becoming positive about how children are being kept in such facilities. Here's the nyt on it and it's get from positive.

    https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/26/us/migrant-children-border-detained.html

    On top of that, there is a substantial difference in policy from that of the Trump administration, they're not separating children from their parents.. As a result of Trump's policies, there are children who will likely never see their parents again.

    I have no idea why you think that nonsense has any connection to my post.

    Trump's own director of the FBI....

    I guess we can add another to the anti-Trump brigade, eh?


  • Registered Users Posts: 21,644 ✭✭✭✭Tell me how



    Love all these conservative pieces railing against the 'elites' while being in support of the man of the people who lived in a gold plated apartment.

    I suppose if Tucker Carlson, heir to the Swanson Enterprises fortune can keep a straight face while calling AOC an elite (while also disparaging her as a barmaid) I shouldn't be surprised but it's still nauseating to see it.

    Oh, Wray was branded a "never Trumper" months ago. If Trump still had Twitter he'd be spouting about how Wray was never really up to the job. Despite being the one that appointed him.

    Thankfully for us all Trump does not have Twitter anymore.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.
