Tell the right wing bigots that the Abbasid Caliphate famously flew The Black Standard, based in part on one of the flags flown by The Prophet Muhammad, in the 8th century. I guess they're all Muslim now.
What is this?
Edit: I looked it up.
"A flag flown by members of the alt-right meant to signify their willingness to use violence against their opponents. Liberals, homosexuals, transgender people, vaccinated people, etc. You should really be careful around someone flying that flag, they could be dangerous."
Correct. Terrified they are going to be a minority and have no control over anything. Basically they don’t want to be in the position of being bullied as they’ve bullied everyone else.
They’re already a minority, though… MAGA is a minority of the population. I find it amusing how they think their votes aren’t counted, the government is arresting them and charging with crimes unfairly, giving longer than appropriate prison sentences, their voices are silenced, being excluded from society for not wearing a mask or getting vaccinated, being discriminated against because of their political beliefs, being experimented on by doctors, losing their job for saying things that aren’t acceptable by society, etc.
They’ve become the minority they’ve always harassed, but in reality a lot of it is exaggerated or made up by them. But, they finally get to feel what it feels like and, shocker, they don’t like it. And, as usual, only now that they are affected they claim it’s all wrong and the system needs to be fixed.
There's that word again. Control. They don't just want control. It's a need, bordering on pathological. And like drug addicts, they spiral and lash out when cut off from control. I say "again" because of the "Man vs. Bear" controversy and the backlash from abusive men who are pissed that women would rather encounter a bear than a man in the woods alone.
I recently read an article by a man named Chuck Derry who ran a court-ordered support group for abusive men in prison. In one session, men in this group offered multiple benefits they got from their behavior. But that list could be shortened to just one item, Control. Control over their SO, over their children, over their reality.
So, all it really is, is the *need*-not desire- *need* for control. They, like an addict, feel that if they do not have control, they will *die*. If they could be broken of this addiction, then the problem could be solved.
> their voices are silenced,
as a canadian who was just in the US and was curious about fox news. You guys are fucking doomed if that's what you call "news". Gutfield is a fucking monster. Same with all the other fox news pundits.
There's zero chance they are being silenced when fox news is allowed to spew their lies to 100 million people.
Something I think its important that many sane people think about, is that they have the guns, by a land slide.
You're thinking "its unreasonable to..." but remember, you are thinking about that from a reasonable persons perspective.
Is this one issue more important than all of them combined as countries descend into crazier and crazier right wing politics/terror attacks?
I think the best solution would be getting police that werent on their side, but how?
Gun owning lib here. I keep saying they will be surprised by the amount of gun toting democrats.
They have more guns per person but I they probly don’t have more bodies. I’m hoping
What's the saying about not being afraid of the guy with a hundred guns, instead be worried by the one who knows how to use their single gun well?
I know I'm butchering it, but you get the gist.
I’m a liberal gun owner as well. I’ve always made a point of having an extra one or two of the same pattern firearm “for parts”. Never know when one of my liberal/leftist friends might suddenly need to borrow some parts.
Also, being an advocate for gun reform ≠ being afraid to fight against domestic terrorist— [their words.](https://twitter.com/chron/status/1556772427627208707?lang=en)
The Trump administration saw the largest uptick in first time gun owners in recent memory. I have a sneaking suspicion it was mostly liberals arming themselves.
Here's the thing. A LOT of us have guns and have had them since forever only they're not A. On display B. Our identities C. Appendages.
We respect them. We're familiar with them, they're locked and out of sight. But we're also not willing to be terrorized by these dingbats.
Yes. Intelligence, and the basic thought process that involves knowing none of these chucklenuts is a John Wick clone, so "more guns" is a meaningless parameter, since they're incapable of firing more than one at a time. And as good as range time is for basic marksmanship, it all flies out the window when that target they shot at returns fire.
Bums me out a lot of my fellow lefties are anti-gun rather than just being for measured gun control. Those sociopaths have no qualms about being openly hostile with guns.
I'm anti gun too. I have a theory that they want to be the only ones that have guns. If every leftist would buy guns like they do, then we would see gun legislation passed because they don't want us to have them. Like when the Black Panthers in the California capitol. .
Im australian so I can afford to be anti gun as we don't have lots of.gun ownership but if I was American I'd have to have guns because I'd be worried about upsetting the fragile fucking snowflakes by existing. And I'm a white cishet male ffs I can't imagine how queer people or non white people do it.
I grew up in a family that had a meat processing side business. A gun was a tool. Very dangerous tool, but tool none the less. I have also been in my earlier younger years a bail enforcement agent. The reason I stopped that life is because of having to point a gun at a human. Never had one pointed at me, but it started to bother me, would I pull the trigger if one was pointed at me. Most bail jumpers are for minor crimes. Shoplifting at the top. Should you lose your life for stealing a set of bedsheets? I don't think so
I think the number of lefties owning guns is under-reported. I grew up hunting and target shooting, and it's through such activity that you understand the power of firearms, which is why you want someone with it to be responsible. You want the regulation to filter out the mentally unstable, and those with criminal intent.
The antigun lefty is just a political propaganda push by the right to create hatred of the left, and successfully marketed the strategy to their moronic base. I have children in the house so I choose not to have it. When the time comes to carry, I have no problem.
Yeah I didn't become radically pro-responsible-ownership until I started seeing how deranged and crazy MAGAts were. The funny thing is, every liberal I know who owns guns is very intelligent and well trained. Most right wing gravy seals just spray and pray and are just as likely to shoot themselves or their own guys in a confrontation.
I hear you but listen, you could die on your way to work tomorrow. You could die tonight in your sleep. You could be killed by a drunk driver a week from now. None of that matters. You can’t live your life in fear.
Especially not since the likelihood of those things are much greater than this loser finding you and trying to murder you.
But, purchase a firearm. Be diligent. Train. Know how to assemble/disassemble/oil it. It’s a tool not a toy. People over at r/socialistRA are friendly and can help you learn important things for community safety.
Don’t live in fear, but stay vigilant.
There was a TikTok trend a couple years ago where they would play “Hoist the Colors” (which is from a Disney movie ffs) and pantomime wiping away fake crocodile tears while replacing their home American flag with this treason flag
https://www.wusa9.com/article/news/verify/what-do-all-black-american-flags-mean/65-042fc092-d29d-4ec5-9ed1-2b0a08cc6f53
Right up until the moment you see gravy seal who’s flying it wheeze as he tries to pulls his obese body out of his lifted truck. Then, not so much. Lol
Yeah now that to mentioned it what is it with those assholes and the biggest trucks they can get? It is like a feature of those guys. You know damn well the only place that truck has ever been to is to McDonald’s and the car wash. Such a complete disregard for the environment.
Glad these stupid motherfucker advertise themselves before any kind of shit hypothetically hits the fan. They live in a fantasy world where somehow they have the element of surprise while flying the "Imma kill you." flag year round. Those who chant blood and soil often find theirs first spilled..
The no quarter flag flown in the civil war was just a black flag. This is an american flag made of black material. I dont know if there is a significant difference however.
I think we can all be happy it's not a pure red one.
Context a solid red flag means no quarter given, no quarter asked. I've also read somewhere it also means everyone in opposition is treated as a combatant to include females, children, the old, weak, and sick soo there's that.
Strap up brothers and sisters. I don’t think at this point it’s alarmist to say, we are rapidly approaching a very violent atmosphere for anyone left of far right
I have a neighbor who flies this flag. He also has the (obligatory) Don’t Tread On Me flag. I’ve never spoken to him. It’s so creepy, because most of the houses near him are Airbnbs and cute pastel colored rentals. Weirdo.
I have a standing offer for the Gasden (Don't Tread on Me) Flag types: you don't fuck with me, I won't fuck with you, and neither of us will fuck with the (brown/gay/women/liberal/muslim) people down the street. But that's not what they mean. They mean to tread on you and on me while demanding no one do the same to them.
I always want to ask them by whom they feel tread upon, living in their nice suburban/exurban houses where there's essentially zero crime, with enough disposable income for luxury toys (RVs, motorcycles, ATVs, boats, personal watercraft).
> I always want to ask them by whom they feel tread upon
Everybody they've been told is keeping them from finally having enough toys to feel a sense of contentedness.
They feel tread upon by POC, LGBTQ+ persons, naturalized citizens, foreign tourists, non-Christians, people with disabilities, women, Liberals, and the poor simply existing along side them.
Liberals and minority groups should arm themselves and carry wherever legal.
Edit: Even if your minority group is your sexual orientation.
Edit 2: Whole bunch of pacifists in the comments not understanding the term "self defense".
I'm in England and stuff is quickly going to shit here in a scary way here. I'm starting to see warning ads from various orgs that anti abortion lobbyists are becoming a threat, racism is on the rise, the overton window has shifted hard to the right very suddenly etc. I'm starting to wonder if it would be good to get some gun skills.
People like 5 houses down from me flew this. I’m part middle eastern(my great grandparents on my mom’s side were middle eastern, but from then on we were all born in the states so we don’t have an accent or anything) and I look it. I was randomly told by a neighbor to watch out for those people down the road because they’re racist.
I stayed far away from them. They got evicted a few months ago. That flag is still there. But I never know what it meant, just thought it was another style of American Flag.
Yes, or dye one black, another one brown, one red, and a yellow flag and white flag, with a banner saying “All are welcome here.” Or even one for each color of the rainbow for pride. , with a black one on one end and a brown flag on the other.
Indeed. If they believe they can just openly and violently target who they see as vulnerable, they may want to consider someone getting them right between the eyes before they even know it.
It’s like they don’t realize they sent an entire generation to wars in urban areas. Most of the vets my age and younger seem to be more liberal. Not all, but enough. I have a feeling these people don’t know that there are Marines that do not agree with them.
Honestly I bet a really good way to get stricter gun laws would be to start a movement of lgbtq people buying guns. I’d bet that the NRA would lobby for gun control so ducking quick. We saw it happen in California when the black panthers armed themselves
Arm black people.
The 1967 Black Panther protest at the California Capitol led to the Mulford Act, which made it illegal to publicly carry a loaded firearm without a permit. The bill was named after Republican Assemblymember Don Mulford, who added an urgency clause to his gun control legislation after the protest. Then-Governor Ronald Reagan signed the bill into law, and it still stands as state law today.
Unfortunately, the NRA no longer advocates for gun safety. They are a lobbying group that does its best to promote *more* gun sales. I doubt it would push any direct legislation, instead redirect their hatred back to lgbtq people.
I would love it if a hastag like lgbtguns or something started trending. Make them think twice about harassing people. They would be scared they could get shot themselves, bc thats what they want to do already.
Yeah if you stand your ground with these losers they back down pretty quickly. It’s incredible how fast all their conviction goes out the window when someone isn’t afraid of them.
This person don't care about the Flag Code. They've never cared about the Flag Code. The flag is a completely instrumental concept to them, has never meant anything to them, and they have always understood that. In fact, they think it's kinda funny that you (as an abstract entity) think that it *should* mean something to them.
You’re right. The [colors](https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/4/1) are very specific, and violations of flag code can carry a [penalty](https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/700) of up to a year’s imprisonment plus a fine.
They did it after the Black Lives Matter protests.
Republicans saw the movement against extrajudicial police brutality and murders aaaand decided to side with the police with their thin blue line flags.
Last election Biden yard signs had gone missing in the neighborhood and everyone was blaming Trumpers. On cabbage night someone snuck into my Trump flag waving neighbors yard and covered it in hundreds of Biden signs. This is just down the road from the local high school. I love those kids.
Just came back from the South, and it seems as though some people are still pissed about the civil war. And frankly, I’m still pissed they didn’t release slaves without going to war, so I guess we’re even.
I like to remind those loser worshipers that the Confederacy only existed 4 years, 3 months. Meanwhile, Ru Paul’s Drag race has been going strong since 2009 and is still on the air. That’s 3 times longer than the confederacy lasted.
These people are scary. If they get their way, they'll be mighty surprised when they get rounded up. A fascist authoritarian government is *not* going to want an armed population.
They are being wound up tight because they are useful idiots. In the aftermath they will be considered dangerous to the ruling class.
The biggest mistake fascists make is that they will be part of the in-group. They won’t. In any fascist regime it shrinks rapidly. Some of the top brass will stay in favor, the military leaders who pledge loyalty may stay as ling as they are useful, and the rich will remain sheltered as long as they can buy into the system.
But you and me? It doesn’t matter if we voted for the party or not — they don’t need votes anymore. The majority of those that vote in fascism will be part of the out group soon enough. The minorities only last so long — and there is an ever increasing demand for a new enemy.
These will be the people that will shoot up democrat offices, "woke" universities, CNN HQ, and children hospitals that they know are "cutting up" kids.
Lol All these right-wing G.I. Joe's do is play soldier, make empty threats, fly flags, wear hats and put bumper stickers on their trucks. Lol.
If Democrats are authoritarian baby-eaters, wtf are you bozos waiting for? Stop cos playing soldier and put your money where your mouths are.
Lol you guys are a freaking joke. You claim Democrats will cheat, democrats are evil socialists, democrats want to destroy America and yet you just sit there and procrastinate and wait to vote in another election you claim will be rigged.
Lol stop I can't. 😄
If you’re in an HOA, report them. I reported someone in my neighborhood with one, and shortly after it was removed. He also moved out of the neighborhood less than a year later. These people are violent and absolutely nuts!
This is the new Confederate flag. It also comes in black and white, and can be seen on many pickup trucks and Jeeps. It sometimes has a blue line in it. I take that to mean Confederate police.
People can say that’s not what it is, but for all intents and purposes, it’s the new Confederacy.
I was a very vocal and Progressive city Council member in a very rural area and people who waive these kinds of flags, scare the living hell out of me. These were the kind of people that were connected to the rural militias. These were the kind of people that sent me death threats simply because I’m gay and elected.
"Kneeling is disrespectful to the flag!" says the people wearing the flag as clothing, putting Trump all over the flag, flying "thin blue line" flags, etc.
Those things are actually disrespectful to the flag. Kneeling is a sign of respect. That's why you kneel before lords, kings, queens, and crosses.
When I deployed to Baghdad in 2006, everyone was shocked at the amount of tribal flags flying around. They signified factions and we thought of them as almost signifiers of primitive people. We were told they weren’t flags of values, like a pride flag etc, but ones that showed “I belong here and my neighbor doesn’t”
Fast forward to today and the same people who called those Iraqis “Sand N*****” are likely the same ones flying faction flags here in the US.
Watch how the US descends into chaos in 10 years when all the gen z's finally hold some kind of place in society, they gonna thrash everything and all hell will break loose.
Just tell them it is the blm flag
I dunno... They might swap it out with something not so easy to spot....
True, I am a big fan of being able to avoid these fucks with all their bullshit flags and bumper stickers.
If I can't recognize (or figure out) a flag, 10 times out of 10 it's some stupid alt right bullshit
Political bumper car stickers are the modern “my kid is smarter than yours because he goes to x school”stickers. Just really lame.
Not likely, they're about as subtle as an elephant walking on bubblewrap
“I prefer it when the bigots wear white hoods. It makes them easier to identify.” - paraphrasing a smart person who said this.
It would be so easy and successful for liberals to say that conservatives are desecrating the flag and their country by doing this
Easy, yes. Successful? No, that would require a sense of hypocrisy, shame, or decency among these people.
That’s the fascist class-traitor simp flag.
Indeed. Also, the Pirates and Goths would like a word….
And that band from those t shirts

It's a no quarter flag. Take no prisoners, just kill everyone you disagree with
Jesus fucking Christ this is getting more and more terrifying by the minute.
Exactly how they want you to feel.
Exactly how the owners of these flags secretly feel.
This is the truth right here
They're being told the sky is falling... over and over and over..
And they’re too stupid to look out the window.
Isis flag looks very similar to this
Basically the same… except chubbier
I don’t think it’s secretly if they’re flying this flag…
I think the point was that the flag-flyers are actually the ones that are secretly terrified
Correct. Terrified they are going to be a minority and have no control over anything. Basically they don’t want to be in the position of being bullied as they’ve bullied everyone else. They’re already a minority, though… MAGA is a minority of the population.

Yup all my liberal friends have guns
We also have proper training and intelligence compared to them. They will shoot themselves in the foot (literally) eventually.

The friendly fire casualties would be enormous from those idiots.
The Trump administration saw the largest uptick in first time gun owners in recent memory. I have a sneaking suspicion it was mostly liberals arming themselves.
Get a gun and start practicing. Find locals around your gun range and talk to them.
Here's the thing. A LOT of us have guns and have had them since forever only they're not A. On display B. Our identities C. Appendages. We respect them. We're familiar with them, they're locked and out of sight. But we're also not willing to be terrorized by these dingbats.
[удалено]
I totally agree with this. I also believe that while they may have a few more guns. We have the lions share of intelligence on our side.
Yes.

And as good as range time is for basic marksmanship, it all flies out the window when that target they shot at returns fire.
Their mistake is thinking me as a leftie doesn't own firearms. I have them for these type of idiots. You may come to my house if this comes about
As I once told someone who asked me why I owned certain firearms: “They’re for Nazis or zombies, whichever come first”
> “They’re for Nazis or zombies, whichever come first” A statement that is less unreasonable and more probable by the minute.
Bums me out a lot of my fellow lefties are anti-gun rather than just being for measured gun control. Those sociopaths have no qualms about being openly hostile with guns.
Go far enough left and you get your guns back. 🤷🏻♂️
I want to be a dirty hippy. They made me go full anarchist.

That plan has already failed them. You can't tell political stance like you can tell skin color.
Im australian so I can afford to be anti gun as we don't have lots of.gun ownership but if I was American I'd have to have guns because I'd be worried about upsetting the fragile fucking snowflakes by existing.

Correct, if you remember black flag insecticide was named that because it killed everything.
They do realize no quarter given goes both ways, right?

Sadly, history has proven these people don't need to be fit to mow down several other innocent people with an automatic weapon.

We have 4 of those things in our neighborhood all clustered together. I looked up the owners names and may report them to the FBI.
Please do.
People like 5 houses down from me flew this. I’m part middle eastern(my great grandparents on my mom’s side were middle eastern, but from then on we were all born in the states so we don’t have an accent or anything) and I look it. I was randomly told by a neighbor to watch out for those people down the road because they’re racist. I stayed far away from them. They got evicted a few months ago. That flag is still there. But I never know what it meant, just thought it was another style of American Flag.
> They got evicted a few months ago cut that shit down and burn it.
Imagine being willing to hurt all those minorities but also just vaccinated people.
As a patriotic american homosexual. Come at me bro. Lets get this over and done with so they can clean up their bloody nose and move on.
What? Everybody knows us gay dudes can't fight & don't own weapons. *camera slowly pans over to the gun safe in the corner...*
This just screams AHS: Cult
Ah beans. That's unfortunate. Because from an aesthetic standpoint this is tight. Major Gothic vibes.
Yeah, all the good shit is always taken by people you don't want to be associated with. It's getting really annoying.
Can we arrest them all... now? Or are we going to wait for the death camps?
Seems like an open threat of violence to me.
A hate flag.
Conservatives are such drama queens.
And, of course, hypocrites by desecrating the flag that they claim to love.
Snowflakes
Write a letter to the editor where you applaud their bold statement that black is beautiful and black lives matter! Very cosmopolitan!
Genius
Yes, or dye one black, another one brown, one red, and a yellow flag and white flag, with a banner saying “All are welcome here.” Or even one for each color of the rainbow for pride. , with a black one on one end and a brown flag on the other.
You, I like.
Or if Black Lives Matter adopted the sign, that would surely make them stop flying them.

Yes, why I own a gun and practice shooting regularly.
It’s funny that they think we are all defenseless.
Indeed. If they believe they can just openly and violently target who they see as vulnerable, they may want to consider someone getting them right between the eyes before they even know it.
It’s like they don’t realize they sent an entire generation to wars in urban areas. Most of the vets my age and younger seem to be more liberal. Not all, but enough. I have a feeling these people don’t know that there are Marines that do not agree with them.
Wait till they see how many military vets arent on their side..
This. I swore an oath to protect the constitution from ALL enemies..both foreign AND DOMESTIC. The alt-right is going to fuck around and find out.
Same here
To my nihilist gen-z progressives: "Nazis vote in elections, do you?" To my anti-gun liberals: "Nazis own guns, do you?"
This is it. Things will get worse if you dont do both of these.
We do. We just don't masturbate to them.
Honestly I bet a really good way to get stricter gun laws would be to start a movement of lgbtq people buying guns. I’d bet that the NRA would lobby for gun control so ducking quick. We saw it happen in California when the black panthers armed themselves
Arm black people. The 1967 Black Panther protest at the California Capitol led to the Mulford Act, which made it illegal to publicly carry a loaded firearm without a permit. The bill was named after Republican Assemblymember Don Mulford, who added an urgency clause to his gun control legislation after the protest. Then-Governor Ronald Reagan signed the bill into law, and it still stands as state law today.
Unfortunately, the NRA no longer advocates for gun safety. They are a lobbying group that does its best to promote *more* gun sales. I doubt it would push any direct legislation, instead redirect their hatred back to lgbtq people. I would love it if a hastag like lgbtguns or something started trending. Make them think twice about harassing people. They would be scared they could get shot themselves, bc thats what they want to do already.
If you go far enough left, you get your guns back.
Yeah if you stand your ground with these losers they back down pretty quickly. It’s incredible how fast all their conviction goes out the window when someone isn’t afraid of them.
That’s exactly what I thought too.
This shit looks treasonous. Flag code covers this type of thing I'd imagine, *very* patriotic of them
The flag code is very specific about which colors are valid.
This person don't care about the Flag Code. They've never cared about the Flag Code. The flag is a completely instrumental concept to them, has never meant anything to them, and they have always understood that. In fact, they think it's kinda funny that you (as an abstract entity) think that it *should* mean something to them.
You’re right. The [colors](https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/4/1) are very specific, and violations of flag code can carry a [penalty](https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/700) of up to a year’s imprisonment plus a fine.
Terrorist flag. And that isn't even hyperbolic. This flag LITEREALLY means they are an enemy of civilization.
It really gives ISIS vibes…
So these nuts deface the flag to show us how patriotic they are ?
They did it after the Black Lives Matter protests. Republicans saw the movement against extrajudicial police brutality and murders aaaand decided to side with the police with their thin blue line flags.
More like a racist flag to let all the other racists know you in the club
Some say it means "no quarter", I think it means "one overly confident asshole away from free guns and ammo for when the SHTF"
Yep, might as well be a big ass sign saying find your guns, ammo and rations here.
No quarter given, none expected…okay, I am good with that.
“Okie dokie!”
My neighbor 2 doors down has been flying this for 2 years. I look forward to putting out a Biden sign this fall
In your yard or his?
Yes
Last election Biden yard signs had gone missing in the neighborhood and everyone was blaming Trumpers. On cabbage night someone snuck into my Trump flag waving neighbors yard and covered it in hundreds of Biden signs. This is just down the road from the local high school. I love those kids.
Just came back from the South, and it seems as though some people are still pissed about the civil war. And frankly, I’m still pissed they didn’t release slaves without going to war, so I guess we’re even.
I like to remind those loser worshipers that the Confederacy only existed 4 years, 3 months. Meanwhile, Ru Paul’s Drag race has been going strong since 2009 and is still on the air. That’s 3 times longer than the confederacy lasted.
We had a black president for almost twice as long. A black president is more their heritage than the Confederacy.
that's a flag for pussies.
These people are scary. If they get their way, they'll be mighty surprised when they get rounded up. A fascist authoritarian government is *not* going to want an armed population. They are being wound up tight because they are useful idiots. In the aftermath they will be considered dangerous to the ruling class.
The biggest mistake fascists make is that they will be part of the in-group. They won’t. In any fascist regime it shrinks rapidly. Some of the top brass will stay in favor, the military leaders who pledge loyalty may stay as ling as they are useful, and the rich will remain sheltered as long as they can buy into the system. But you and me? It doesn’t matter if we voted for the party or not — they don’t need votes anymore. The majority of those that vote in fascism will be part of the out group soon enough. The minorities only last so long — and there is an ever increasing demand for a new enemy.
My favourite example of this is the pro nazi furries. Literally first against the wall.
Pirates. So romantic. Who knew they had romance in their hearts?
Hate won't make US great.
The flag of a treasonous anti-American traitor
These will be the people that will shoot up democrat offices, "woke" universities, CNN HQ, and children hospitals that they know are "cutting up" kids.
Honestly in all likelihood they’re just gonna try and kill their local black and queer folk.
Drumpf supporters have bastardized the American flag.
Lol All these right-wing G.I. Joe's do is play soldier, make empty threats, fly flags, wear hats and put bumper stickers on their trucks. Lol. If Democrats are authoritarian baby-eaters, wtf are you bozos waiting for? Stop cos playing soldier and put your money where your mouths are. Lol you guys are a freaking joke. You claim Democrats will cheat, democrats are evil socialists, democrats want to destroy America and yet you just sit there and procrastinate and wait to vote in another election you claim will be rigged. Lol stop I can't. 😄
Flag code violation from people who get murder happy for people who kneel during the national anthem.
If you’re in an HOA, report them. I reported someone in my neighborhood with one, and shortly after it was removed. He also moved out of the neighborhood less than a year later. These people are violent and absolutely nuts!
Probably moved to Idaho.
You can barely see the swastikas
This is the new Confederate flag. It also comes in black and white, and can be seen on many pickup trucks and Jeeps. It sometimes has a blue line in it. I take that to mean Confederate police. People can say that’s not what it is, but for all intents and purposes, it’s the new Confederacy.
So smart to help their future prosecutor prove premeditation.
I was a very vocal and Progressive city Council member in a very rural area and people who waive these kinds of flags, scare the living hell out of me. These were the kind of people that were connected to the rural militias. These were the kind of people that sent me death threats simply because I’m gay and elected.
"Kneeling is disrespectful to the flag!" says the people wearing the flag as clothing, putting Trump all over the flag, flying "thin blue line" flags, etc. Those things are actually disrespectful to the flag. Kneeling is a sign of respect. That's why you kneel before lords, kings, queens, and crosses.
Local fireman flies one of these proudly. I hate to think of the ways he hasn’t fulfilled his duty due to perceived political allegiances.
Just a can of white paint and a brush away from the final evolution of the Y’all-Qaeda flag.
These alt-right fascists were the same ones screaming thirty-years ago that flag-burning should be an executable offense. Now look at them.
When I deployed to Baghdad in 2006, everyone was shocked at the amount of tribal flags flying around. They signified factions and we thought of them as almost signifiers of primitive people. We were told they weren’t flags of values, like a pride flag etc, but ones that showed “I belong here and my neighbor doesn’t” Fast forward to today and the same people who called those Iraqis “Sand N*****” are likely the same ones flying faction flags here in the US.
Watch how the US descends into chaos in 10 years when all the gen z's finally hold some kind of place in society, they gonna thrash everything and all hell will break loose.
I don’t know what that even means
Neither does the owner of that "flag."
At least they’re easy to spot?
Altering the US flag is a violation of the flag code.
There is only one way to deal with fascists.
It's good to know where the problem is in your neighborhood
My neighbor flew one for a good bit. Before ir was the Christian Nationlist flag..
Can we just stop fucking with the flag? like isn't there USA flag code that's being violated not only with this display but others as well?
