I potentially see 2 Gadsden flags. Why do these assholes always seem to think that the Gadsden Flag represents them? I would like to know what their rationale is — if any.
Why? Anyone who stands beside a Nazi flag is not a libertarian by any stretch of the term’s usage. (For clarity, by “stands beside” I mean anyone who advocates its symbolism.)
Part of it is that American libertarianism is a Republican who wants to smoke weed.
As for these specific Nazis, they want the government to stop arresting them when they indulge in their violent hatred of minorities.
They see equality as oppression. Which is also part of the main Republican mindset.
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.
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.
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?
Imagine marching alongside Nazi flags and thinking you’re on the right side of history. Confederate is bad enough, but I can accept that they’re delusional enough to not see what’s wrong with it. Nazi? There’s no argument to be made.
I like how they’re especially confused and have don’t tread on me flags. The flag the original (not confederate) colonies flew against the British.
I mean so was the appeal to heaven flag but look how the right’s taken that one too.
Also Hitler wouldn’t be proud because it’s a mirrored swastika. The correct flag had to be right angled on both sides!
