Because they didn’t have razor wire and chain link fence in 1776.
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.
Yeah, this is gonna go viral for all the wrong reasons. 🤢
Sickeningly true…
Literally, my immediate thought process when I saw this earlier today:
- “Yeah, ain’t that the fuckin’ truth.”
- “Hmm. To sticker the car window or no—”
- “Wait, shit.”
- “Aw, maaan. They’re just gonna add this to their hur-dur-Punisher pile o’ shit”
- “Just …Fuck this timeline.”
Also: called it. 🤮
Yeah, predictable, like how sith always choose red.
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. 🤓🤘🏼
star wars got a LOT more enjoyable for me when i resolved to ignore “canon” and approach it like SCP instead - if i like it i add it to my headcanon, and if i don’t then i simply ignore it. really re-injects that element of wonder and mystery that lucasfilm has been feverishly working to excise since the 90s.
You should definitely enjoy the Skywalker Paradigm. Give it a look. Compellingly silly stuff, and the citations are hilarious — that also tend to inspire that little bit of curiosity that spawns more questions. 😜
What’s the word for an earworm, but for headcanon, anyway? 🤔🤷🏼♂️
Humans have always had blue vision. Blue was the last primary colour named
Those two sentences are at odds.
The number of people who believe that ancient civilizations couldn’t see blue is truly scary to me.
Perhaps it’s meant to be flown upside down?
Needs 13 dicks in a circle to finish it off.
Whoa who the hell came up with that? That’s good fucking design.
I don’t how to say this without sounding like a dick. Do we really need yet another trendy version of the American flag right now? Every time something shitty happens a new flag emerges. Never a time when something good happens a flag comes out or it’s just the standard flag. How many other countries do this? Yeah, I know, maybe the US should quit doing shitty things, but still I genuinely want to know what other countries make trendy flags every time some shit happens.
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.
Embrace tradition. Fly Mark Twain’s proposed flag
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.
The origins of the thin blue line was when black lives matter started it with the black and white flag. This is what I mean by trendy flags. The intent it to show symbolism but the symbolism is lost when all you had to do was put a blue line over one of grey lines and say “blue lives matter” then paint a red line and say “Fire fighter lives matter” or even a yellow line for just first response dispatch (911) in general. Then whoever makes them make a ton of money because they end up on the same trucks running a punisher skull which makes no sense. I mean I knew I was going to get down voted but my intent was to see what other country actually does this.
No other country that I know of has as great a flag fetish as the USA, except maybe their illegitimate hellspawn the Zionist entity.
