Capitalist libertarians have always truly been fascists. Their entire ideology is rooted in Social Darwinism.
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
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.
I find it amazing how this flag became associated with bootlickers. It supposed to symbolize standing up to the king.
It supposed to be waved by everyone who is willing to stand up against authoritarianism and supports democracy.
Maybe we need a new flag
They only do this because they’re too scared to fly a confederate or Nazi flag.
“I’m one of the good ones”
“Please tread on everyone but me, daddy!”
I’m tired of repeating myself, but Stockholm syndrome is pure Copaganda bullshit.

So… Could someone explain to us non-americans?
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.
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.
“I’m white, male, and Christian! Surely the police state isn’t for me!”
And don’t call me “Shirley.”
It’s the gubment that’s evil, and the police protect us from the leftists.
I saw a “don’t tread on me” license plate but the snake was covered by a police department sticker 😭
