There is one flag. Everything else is a disrespectful bastardization.

And the only reason to wear a black and white version is night time infrared identification in the military.

Similarly, seeing the “charging” flag on some police uniforms has been uhhh… interesting. That flag was for troops in combat. Because there’s a military tradition of moving the flag forward in battle. If the police are in battle then we’ve already lost.

I think that’s orange?

Again, its all pretty stupid imo. EMTs, FFs, police, whatever, already have iconography.

The “thin” whatever flags are all bullshit. It all comes back to an 80s documentary about a cop being killed, I think it was Dallas in the 70s. The flag crap all stems from that, which btw found evidence the person convicted of the murder to be innocent (his conviction was overturned after the movie was released). The name was a bit of irony about how cops perceive themselves, and how its different from reality.

Not that you’ll find anyone with one of those flags who has any idea what the origins are of course.

Edit: This is the man who was convicted

This is the movie

Remember, if you see a car decked out in Piss Boy symbolism you are obligated as an American to make sure that vehicle no longer functions when you leave it.

I love that, support the vets, right next to white supremacist stuff. I guess not all of the vets then right?

It’s perhaps a commentary all itself but I don’t understand any of this except the “okay” hand gesture which is ambiguous to me because I thought white supremacists tried to co-opt it but I have no idea how successful they actually were.

Can anyone define all the fascist symbolism here for me?

Same. I see a lot of far-right branded pickups and this doesn’t look like one to me. Am I missing something?

Edit: I see the Proud Boys logo is a laurel wreath with “PB” in the center. Though the laurel wreath by itself is ambiguous. That symbol is used in lots of non-sinister contexts.

In germany the “ok” hand sign is a neonazio dog whistle ( here the “hitlergruß” the nazi hand gesture is a felony so the fucks get creative). Dont know if it has the same meaning over the pond.

I’m not saying that’s not a thing, but I’ve lived in Ohio most my life and I’ve never seen that here as thing.
