Yes. It's racist. There is no left angle.

Well there is in politics but it is wrong.

It's not "racist." It's "chiralist", because it discriminates on the basis of chirality.

This is a paramount issue among the stereoisomers community, and it's very polarizing.


Left-handed stereoisomer juxtaposed with its right-handed isomeric counterpart. These are organic molecules.

Thanks, olejoedad.

Let me fill out the reference for that.

The stage design at CPAC 2021 was created by the Design Foundry, a firm with no discernible Alt-Right ties or connections. If anything, the firm could fairly be characterized as pro-Democratic Party and liberal-leaning or progressive-minded across the boards. A Design Foundry spox was emphatic in asserting that any resemblance between the CPAC 2021 stage design and the "odal rune" of Nazi iconography is entirely coincidental and that there is nothing that can sensibly be made of it to connect the CPAC 2021 stage design with any overt or veiled embrace by CPAC of the Alt-Right.

So, will the voluminous volley of venomous vitriol vanquish the vexing vector?

Was the convention laid to rune?
