The “Don’t Tread On Me” Gadsden flag represents the US colonies uniting against monarchic tyranny and despotism from Great Britain.
This flag is implying monarchies can simply bend over anyone they want anywhere and properly fuck them without giving the courtesy of a reach-around.
this is the most generous possible interpretation of the gadsden, while ignoring its current usage, as well as ignoring the anti-authoritarian meaning behind the sabocat, and red/black scheme.
ps: the American revolution was a lateral move, replacing a hereditary monarchy with a dictatorship of capital. The ‘founding fathers’ were their time’s equivalent of musk and bezos, and they explicitly wanted to protect the interest of the capital owning class from the will of the working class and those humans who they kept as property.
This sounds tankie
Mentioning the capital class =/= Stalinism
It might have meant that at some point, but it certainly does not mean that now
What does it mean now?
That is sad to see the modern use and interpretation of the Gadsden flag. I fly one next to my Pride flag outside my house to piss off the extremist dipshits that drive by.
You knew the modern interpretation because you fly it next to your pride flag, but still asked what it means now? Confusing interaction.
I never knew the modern interpretation, I flew it because I interpreted the flag as something that represents individualism. I guess I’ll fly my Satanic flag next to it to further signal the idea of individualism to others that drive by my house.
You should do that, if you own any flags and weren’t Just Asking Questions.
Do as thou wilst
what’s that the flag of?
Black and red is anarcho-communism, snake skeleton is allusion to Gadsden flag (“don’t thread on me” aka “no step on snek”). Not sure what cat relates to
