    Look at that loser piece of shit holding the swastika. It’s still got all the creases from the chinese bag it was in earlier that day. That pussy of a man was too scared to ever fly it in public before this moment, it’s up to the rest of us to make sure he’s too scared to ever fly it again.

      The Jesus who said this in the book of Matthew, chapter 19:

      21 Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”

      22 When the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he had great wealth.

      23 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”

      What a commie.

      Of course, these days, Jesus is too much of a lib cuck for them, so they might not be the party of Jesus too much longer.

        Seriously, if I were Christian - and I have read enough of the Bible and christian philosophers that I could be if I wasn’t a pretty convinced atheist - I’d genuinely think the evangelicals and a figure like Trump had to be the symbolical Antichrist with how they act and think

        What he meant was that the goal in life is to ensure as many people as possible are poor. Republicans really are doing gods work! 🙏

        There’s also Ecclisiasticus 34:18-21 which basically calls the owner class knowing murderers and robbers trying to buy their way out of the consequences whenever they make charity out of their wealth.

        Whosoever makes donations out of goods they have gotten immorally, their charity is absurdity; their gifts are a mockery of generosity.

        The heavens detest charity given by bloody hands; no amount n’or value given by such serves to appease the highest.

        Whosoever takes for giving what little fills the stores of the disfortuned, they do the same as one who kills a child before their parents’ eyes.

        The bread of the disfortuned is their lifeblood, and whosoever defrauds the disfortuned of it, their hands run red with that blood, the same as any murderer or brute of different means.

        A different transcription of that passage is what turned a conquistador into a Jesuit bishop who would refuse dying rights to landowners who wouldn’t free their indigenous slaves. Dude wasn’t perfect even after his revelation, but he still did a serious 180 when the meaning of that passage sunk in for him.

    Imagine marching alongside Nazi flags and thinking you’re on the right side of history. Confederate is bad enough, but I can accept that they’re delusional enough to not see what’s wrong with it. Nazi? There’s no argument to be made.

    Will nobody rid me of these turbulent fascists?

    I potentially see 2 Gadsden flags. Why do these assholes always seem to think that the Gadsden Flag represents them? I would like to know what their rationale is — if any.

      They think it means that if you try to fuck with them, they won’t run away blubbering like a baby. They’re wrong about that.

      • So, please provide info that the flag doesn’t equate “stance against coercion” = anti fascist?

        FYI: I hate Trump, fascist, Confederate apologist, etc…

        But, based on the simplistic symbolism of the flag… It could represent a fight against coercion of any ilk.

          You’re asking for evidence that the same people who also do things like wear shirts with Punisher logos on them and bumper stickers with a picture of a gun and the words “come ad take it” aren’t trying to tell people not to pick a fight with them or else?

          Do you think the Nazi flag might also be a clue?

          The Gadsden flag does represent resistance against coercion. That being said, context is still quite important — its appropriate use would heavily depend on why those individuals in the picture saw fit to march with it. The Gadsden flag represents individual liberty, and resistance to authoritative oppression. It doesn’t represent the trampling of the freedoms of others.

        Why? Anyone who stands beside a Nazi flag is not a libertarian by any stretch of the term’s usage. (For clarity, by “stands beside” I mean anyone who advocates its symbolism.)

          Part of it is that American libertarianism is a Republican who wants to smoke weed.

          As for these specific Nazis, they want the government to stop arresting them when they indulge in their violent hatred of minorities.

          They see equality as oppression. Which is also part of the main Republican mindset.

            they want the government to stop arresting them when they indulge in their violent hatred of minorities.

            Imo, this is opposite of what the Gadsden flag represents. It’s a symbol of the resistance to authoritative oppression. I suppose the logic is that these types use it as a symbol of their resistance to the government preventing them from oppressing others 🤮. I suppose if one were to be absolutely accurate, though, the Gadsden flag isn’t a symbol of libertarianism, but, rather, libertarianism supports the symbolism of the Gadsden flag.

    Not a Republican, but none of my friends or family who are are anywhere close to nazi. The fringe doesn’t count for the mass majority of the party.

      Also Hitler wouldn’t be proud because it’s a mirrored swastika. The correct flag had to be right angled on both sides!

        lmao, I am not observant enough to notice that. I looked up some flags from WWII era photographs, and it appears that this dummy put the flag on the pole upside down.

    I like how they’re especially confused and have don’t tread on me flags. The flag the original (not confederate) colonies flew against the British.

        It’s interesting how the worst people can never think for themselves, and instead repurpose perfectly fine and good meaning symbols into their own twisted perversion.
