They think it means that if you try to fuck with them, they won’t run away blubbering like a baby. They’re wrong about that.
So, please provide info that the flag doesn’t equate “stance against coercion” = anti fascist?
FYI: I hate Trump, fascist, Confederate apologist, etc…
But, based on the simplistic symbolism of the flag… It could represent a fight against coercion of any ilk.
You’re asking for evidence that the same people who also do things like wear shirts with Punisher logos on them and bumper stickers with a picture of a gun and the words “come ad take it” aren’t trying to tell people not to pick a fight with them or else?
Do you think the Nazi flag might also be a clue?
It could represent a fight against coercion of any ilk.
The Gadsden flag does represent resistance against coercion. That being said, context is still quite important — its appropriate use would heavily depend on why those individuals in the picture saw fit to march with it. The Gadsden flag represents individual liberty, and resistance to authoritative oppression. It doesn’t represent the trampling of the freedoms of others.
