If anyone has both of those flags hanging at the same time, they don’t understand what the top one means.

In Kansas you can get the yellow snake as your license plate.
I have seen three so far. All three of them had thin blue line bumper or window stickers.

that if the 13 colonies unite against british tyranny, they’ll be as untreadable as a rattlesnake? especially with the rattlesnake only being native to the americas….

The message is step on me and get bit. Traditionally it’s an anarchist symbol encouraging unity and brotherhood among the colonies in defiance of the crown.
But just like many other things it has been misinterpreted and misused by fascists.- xor ( @xor@infosec.pub ) English8•2 months ago
that picture is actually part ii to
but, yeah… i agree…
we should just use a red and black one and let them have yellow and black (:- Forester ( @Forester@yiffit.net ) English2•2 months ago
Firstly, that’s how you become identified as an anarcho-capitalist. Secondly, I’m a libertarian Minarchist. Aka Classical Liberal. Not a confused Republican
- xor ( @xor@infosec.pub ) English2•2 months ago
although anarcho capitalists are larping, they already use black and yellow so i don’t think there would be much confusion….
secondly, ewww libertarians- Forester ( @Forester@yiffit.net ) English1•2 months ago
Yellow and black equals Libertarian Black and red equals Anarchy capitalism or at least that’s how it used to work back on Reddit
Oh don’t get me wrong. My party has a shit reputation because it’s been infiltrated on purpose and turned into a mockery of itself.
Classical liberalism is a political tradition and a branch of liberalism that advocates free market and laissez-faire economics and civil liberties under the rule of law, with special emphasis on individual autonomy, limited government, economic freedom, political freedom and freedom of speech. Classical liberalism, contrary to liberal branches like social liberalism, looks more negatively on social policies, taxation and the state involvement in the lives of individuals, and it advocates deregulation.
Mind you I’m not saying the government is useless. I’m just saying there are some things that shouldn’t be regulated that are excessively stupidly regulated. There are other things that need more regulation. It’s a balancing act.

I find Nozick’s minimal state interesting. He seems to want to entrust violence to a state. How would such a system prevent the minimal state from forming monopolies or cartels by which the ruled give up economic and political freedom?

Once, years ago, went out to a restaurant with some friends and had a couple drinks. Wasn’t paying close enough attention to my intake, and ended up a little too tipsy to drive (not, like, belligerent drunk or anything, just not safe to drive). Hung out sitting on the hood of my car watching videos on my phone for a while with a friend until he had to leave. Before he left, this super cute guy started talking to us. We hit it off, and dude and I started getting flirty. Went back to his place because it was walking distance, did the deed, and when we were done I went to get some water from his kitchen.
Wherein I see not one, not two, but no less than a dozen coffee mugs, posters, fucking rugs, and all manner of paraphernalia with right wing nonsense. We’re talking he had a fucking swastika area rug. I begin the heavy breathing of a scared little gay boy (6’3 and nearly 300lbs/190cm 135kg), and he notices my discomfort. He acts like this is nothing unusual and says he’s just a collector of WWII shit.
Yeah, bro, maybe you are. But that doesn’t explain the don’t tread on me poster, the trump 2016 merch, and fucking birth of a nation movie poster!
I got the fuck outta there before his lawyers had a chance to try out a gay panic defense.

Isn’t is funny how nobody collects the stuff from the Allies?
- DragonTypeWyvern ( @DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social ) English9•2 months ago
There actually is a pretty large WW2 Allied collector and reenactor community. I know a guy with a Jeep with a mounted quad MG.
Just don’t ask too many questions about the other team.

I don’t want to nitpick but plenty of historical gun owners love both sides weaponry and display both. Personally, I know a friend that owns a STG 44 and a ppsh and a tommy.
- snooggums ( @snooggums@midwest.social ) English14•2 months ago
Collecting multiple kinds of guns is a bit different than collecting all of the other things that are clearly nazi branded propaganda. Having one or two guns isn’t really collecting in the same way as having a bunch of nazi branded everyday use items with the red black and white swastika flag.
- Forester ( @Forester@yiffit.net ) English6•2 months ago
I’m not disagreeing that was my point. However the people who are in that hobby normally get other kit than just guns. What matters is how it’s displayed.
- SkyeStarfall ( @SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) English5•2 months ago
To be fair, it is more intriguing to collect the stuff of the objectively bad guy. A lot of it is like, it feels almost unbelievable, so nazi memorabilia helps ground that reality that, yes, it actually happened (and how it might have happened)
Of course there is nuance to this, though
- Allero ( @Allero@lemmy.today ) English2•2 months ago
Probably just Axis being the driver of history at the moment.
It started there, and what Allies did is they put this down.
People tend to be more interested in what started the fire and what has let it burn; what has left a dent in history. Doesn’t mean they lean to Nazi ideology.
(Disclaimer: I collect neither and am not interested in war history, or war in general)

The Stirner glasses are a nice touch.
I was wondering what the glasses were referring to. I guess you mean Max Stirner?
German post-Hegelian philosopher, dealing mainly with the Hegelian notion of social alienation and self-consciousness. Stirner is often seen as one of the forerunners of nihilism, existentialism, psychoanalytic theory, postmodernism and individualist anarchism
I’m a bad leftist, I’m terrible with theory and history.
