Those blue line flags are so god drat creepy and fascist. Flying a new authoritarian version of the flag that is 90% black is really one of those things that should trigger an "are we the badies" moment of self-reflection

Same, but it's an anarchist flag.

Also the fact that the symbolism is literally an allusion to a militant police separating a minority from the larger populace

The og Nazis were more subtle

People paying American dollars to let other people know they didn't agree with someone's position on something is the lifeblood of these forums.

In the original design that is not amalgamated with a national flag, the blue line is surrounded by two identical menacing black bars. There is no distinction or minority, if anything its symbolism is "police vs. everyone else" (read: "blacks")

The word "harem" is derived from the word "haram" to it's understandable.

Virtually every military on earth has had a lot of "we're the baddies" iconography. There was some Bosnian unit during the war called the Black Swans who had a patch that was a black swan raping a woman.

They originated from Prussia rather than the Nazis themselves. I mean, Germans are always out to dominate Europe so it fits.

(extremely nerd voice) There are two current words for Korea in Han-writing cultures, the South calls themselves (Ethnonym) or Great (Ethnonym) while the North calls themselves North (Last Dynasty Before Colonization). It's just the translators farting out a literal version of each one's preferred usage in Japanese rather than checking the proper English.

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

My block has a white cafe and a black cafe. The white one is run by two closet fascists who festooned the entire place with those blue line flags and wear blue lives matter gear every time I see them. I wonder why black people in the neighborhood felt threatened eating there and had to create a competing cafe literally in the building next to it? 🤔🤔🤔

I haven't been on SA for years but the person who gave me my previous av as a joke felt guilty for doing so and decided to get me a non-shitty av

The patriotic murals everywhere reminds me of that Mother Jones article on for-profit prisons. The reporter had gone undercover as a guard in a privately owned place that was full of really lovely :patriot: murals
