Non-nuanced explanation: Top flag - pro-cop. Bottom flag - libertarian, "anti-government". You can't be both.

[–] heartSagan5@lemmy.zip 2 points 5 hours ago

That almost feels like one of my neighbors, barren trees of winter, but it's probably Michigan or something. There's so many like this, it's disgusting.

Of all the art that was definitely made by a furry

This was definitely made by a furry

So.. Could someone explain to us non-americans?

[–] VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 26 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

The top flag is the 'thin blue line' flag, which promotes the idea that police are the only thing standing between civilization and a murder-happy anarchist dystopia. You'll generally see this flag and ideology attached to right wing authoritarians.

The lower flag is the Gadsden flag, which features a defensively positioned rattlesnake and the words, "Don't tread on me." It was originally a symbol of the colonial independence movement, but the Confederacy used it extensively during the civil war, causing association with the South. It eventually became associated with small government libertarian and anti-authoritarian types in later years, but never lost its association with the Confederacy. More recently, the Republican party started associating themselves with the Gadsden flag both due to their pro-deregulation stance, which they have tried to advertise as them being the party of small government, and as part of The Southern Strategy, an attempt to lure disenfranchised racist voters in the South. As the Republican party as moved further and further to the right, the Gadsden flag has sometimes been used as a neo-fascist symbol. There have been attempts to reappropriate it by anti-authoritarian and anti-fascist groups, however.

The rattlesnake flag is, in my opinion, a flag that had amazing symbolism for what it represented. A defensive rattlesnake gives plenty of warning, and when push comes to shove, will defend itself and its territory. Then, it got picked up by a group of people who act though and Brave, constantly threaten people, then run away or panic at the first sign of push back.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 2 points 1 hour ago

Yeah they should get a new flag with an angry lemming on it, extremely aggressive but not really a threat, and basically just irritating.

[–] wylinka@szmer.info 10 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

I knew an "anarcho-capitalist" who believed that cops should be the only service the state provides, to guarantee fair and free market competition or some bs like that.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 1 points 1 hour ago

It's always fun to ask these types difficult questions that they haven't thought about.

So if somebody burns your house down in an arson attack and is subsequently arrested by the police, that's a job done is it, you are not requiring any additional support, compensation, or assistance. The fact that the miscreant has been arrested is good enough for you is it?

[–] Squirrelanna@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 5 hours ago

Ancaps are hilarious.

[–] adjectivenoun@lemmy.world 35 points 1 day ago (1 children)

"Please tread on everyone but me, daddy!"

[–] NotAnOtter@lemmus.org 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

100% this.

"Don't infringe on what I determine to be my rights; but abduct/kill anyone I determine to be an enemy"

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 1 points 1 hour ago

Enemy in this case being determined as being anyone with brown skin, women, arbitrary list of people they don't particularly like, political adversaries, and anyone with an IQ greater than that of a sea pickle.

I got a 1,000,000,000 bucks the dude has a Punisher sticker on the back of his truck too

[–] Mr_Fish@lemmy.nz 23 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I'll match that on he completely misunderstands the punisher

[–] mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 9 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

I wish Disney/Marvel had a Punisher movie leading up to Spiderman: Brand New Day where Frank kills a shitloaf of cops.

They would never do that though, cuz they're cowards

[–] heartSagan5@lemmy.zip 1 points 5 hours ago

Disney isn't that violent because that's not their brand. It's funny since there are people who'd totally let their kids watch violence, but not some loving couple

[–] benderbeerman@lemmy.world 5 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

"Shitloaf" is a unit of measurement i am not familiar with, however seems to fit perfectly when describing cops

[–] mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 hours ago

Haha, task failed successfully I guess

[–] djdarren@piefed.social 15 points 1 day ago

And thinks Born In The USA is the most patriotic song.

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 45 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Not really.

It's "Don't tread on ME" after all. Pigs don't tread on them, they just get warnings. They don't care if other people are tread on.

Also known as fascism.

[–] Eldritch@piefed.world 19 points 1 day ago (11 children)

Authoritarianism. It has no strong preference for left or right. Wherever there's a strong man. You will have the people that think the strong man protects them and serves them. Even as he serves himself. And the people who are being tread on.

They only do this because they’re too scared to fly a confederate or Nazi flag.

"I'm one of the good ones"

[–] KeithD@lemmy.nz 2 points 5 hours ago

I'm sure you'll have heard what the only good Nazi is...

[–] HazardousBanjo@lemmy.world 55 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Capitalist libertarians have always truly been fascists. Their entire ideology is rooted in Social Darwinism.

[–] jimmy90@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

true

in the horse shoe theory they populate the gap. all on their own between the commies and the nazis believing whatever toxic shit they like. ready to kill anyone that comes near them

[–] fonix232@fedia.io 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If there was a god or higher being, especially karma or universal reciprocity, the first people to die because of social Darwinism would be the ones propagating social Darwinism.

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think the new-world screwworm presents a strong case that any omniscient, omnipotent creator god is malevolent.

[–] mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

Yet all of the believers will continue to insist that God is the source of morality

Also notice how the “government” is on top of the snake

I'm tired of repeating myself, but Stockholm syndrome is pure Copaganda bullshit.

This feels very Pennsylvania for some reason.

[–] db2@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

To have cognitive dissonance there has to be some semblance of cognition. They can follow all these conflicting beliefs because there has been zero thought put in to it, literally zero. Nobody has forced them to engage their brain so it's an atrophied reactionary toddler level turd living between their ears.

[–] QuinnyCoded@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

I saw a "don't tread on me" license plate but the snake was covered by a police department sticker 😭

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

It's the gubment that's evil, and the police protect us from the leftists.
