Damn that'd be a cool ass flag to fly. Too bad I see the wrong kind of people flying it off the back of their elevated coal rollers.

I feel like you could straight up show this to a certain type of person, and they'll think it's cool as hell because they'll think it represents how something like "the border wall" will ensure their "freedom".

Yep. They just want to appear more menacing. Doesn’t matter that there are actual people suffering from the menace this symbolizes.

Literally, my immediate thought process when I saw this earlier today:

  1. "Yeah, ain't that the fuckin' truth."
  2. "Hmm. To sticker the car window or no—"
  3. "Wait, shit."
  4. "Aw, maaan. They're just gonna add this to their hur-dur-Punisher pile o' shit"
  5. "Just ...Fuck this timeline."

Also: called it. 🤮

Don't even get me started on the low-effort BS that Lucas glued that chroma lore together with.

Instead, check out the Radiolab ep on the evolution of rods & cones (title?), and how "blue" is the most recent addition to human vision. It's widely agreed that "red" was one of the first, and how that ties into early religiosity (ie. blood cults, etc.) is super interesting. 🤓🤘🏼

Humans have always had blue vision. Blue was the last primary colour named

The number of people who believe that ancient civilizations couldn't see blue is truly scary to me.

it is more common here because flying the flag, in general, is far more common than in most places. The US takes flag waving seriously, so it is perfectly fit for redesign in protest.

Wait, what are the other trendy flags?

This is a legitimate question, the only other flag I can think of that gained popularity is the thin blue line version of the American flag.

You swap the blue in that flag for red and it’s “pro firefighters”. Green is “first responders/EMT”. Pretty sure I’ve seen a thin grey line as well, but I’m not sure of the origins.

Oh ok, I think I’ve seen those too.

Fwiw I don’t really see these widespread where I am, in Ohio. Except for the many bootlickers that fly the thin blue line one, the others are relatively rare in my experience.

So they aren’t that trendy at least. Not nearly as much as slapping the American flag on some other symbol like the punisher skull.

No other country that I know of has as great a flag fetish as the USA, except maybe their illegitimate hellspawn the Zionist entity.
