Anyone else hate that the Gadsden flag has been appropriated by ultra-libertarian jingoists? It's an awesome-looking flag with a cool history and symbolism, but I feel like I couldn't fly it without looking like a twat.

I feel you, i had the flag of Culpepper's Minute Men hanging in my college dorm back in the day. Just like the Nazis before them Fascists bastardize shit they didn't create

The minutemen became part of the southern Army so it's not as if the symbol was ok to begin with...

[-] Grayox@lemmy.ml 16 points 9 months ago

yeah I was ignorant of that at the time, but holyshit fuck me...

Should have flown the Soviet flag and rainbow flag next to it. Really confuse people.

Ive got a shield painted with the transflag and an oil painting of the hammer and sickle hanging up now.

Ultra-libertarian Jingoist? I'm as confused by that combination of words as I am the flags on the truck.

Ultra libertarian == I’m free to be whatever I want to be despite your freedoms

Jingoist == my country is the best ever no matter what you say

“Ultra libertarian + Jingoist” == fuck you im a nationalist and don’t know civics

Culpepper’s Minute Men

I had the Dont Tread on Me on twitter as my profile picture, I put that more than 10-15 years ago. I had to remove a couple years ago, because anyone who sees it will get the wrong idea.

Edit: also I was rewatching the movie Wind (about the American's Cup) and the Geronimo ship had the Glasden flag on, that hasn't aged well.
