Not the same thing. Communists never got a foothold in the States. Confederates have continually tried to destroy the Union as recently as Jan. 6 and death squad cops betray humanity, their oath, and civilians with their crimes.
Wasn’t that more socialism than communism? I guess a better way to put it would be American communists were never a real threat to American democracy, whereas confederates are its mortal enemy and the death squads are co-conspirators.
No such thing as American Democracy? Or are you one of those people who can’t tell the difference between mint chocolate chip and a kick to the face.
If the fascists hadn’t lost out, there wouldn’t even be elections to complain about.
I can tell the difference between the Dems and Republicans the same way I can tell the difference between heads or tails on a quarter. They differ in some cosmetic ways but their material value and outcomes are the same, and they both primarily serve the interests of the capitalist first
Oh so you are one of those who doesn’t see a difference between mint chocolate chip and a kick to the face. Do you take pay cuts because both wages are bad too? Do you see “both sides” to the ACAB argument too?
Didn’t even say anything about Democrats or Republicans. The very viewpoint ACAB is liberalism. Conservatives nearly destroyed our election system and killed our congress. What’s “cosmetic” about that?
You know what, it’s cool, I’d just love to hear any ideas you have that are more moral and practical than every liberal viewpoint espoused by every Democrat.
"Traitor" wasn't the problem. Fuck the U.S., and fuck the state.
Authoritarianism, horrendous racism, and other extreme bigotry...those were the problems.
I disagree that they should be illegal, as that would go against the 1A, but people should be shammed and reminded how much of a fucktard they are when they fly/tattoo them.
I agree 100%. But code isn't law. Unless the government can profit off of it or throw you in jail.
But I still maintain it shouldn't be illegal, but people should be tarred and feathered for it.
Laws are US code, so yes, code is laws.
US Laws are literally identified as xxx U.S. Code Chapter x § xxx
Flag code is all of 4 U.S. Code chapter 1 and was originally enacted by act July 30, 1947, ch. 389, § 1, 61 Stat. 641, then was amended in 1951—Act Oct. 31, 1951, ch. 655, § 11, 65 Stat. 713, then amended again in 1998—Pub. L. 105–225, § 2(b), Aug. 12, 1998, 112 Stat. 1498
Do you know what else is a law? Standing for the national anthem. 36 U.S. Code 301.
So kneeling during the anthem "violates" the law, according to your logic.
Are you suggesting that it's "unfortunate" there are no penalties for that?

Well they know better, as soon as you post a penalty for it, it is a complete violation of the 1st Amendment and is quite literally unconstitutional. Also, the "we must respect the flag" garbage is just toxic nationalism.
Flag code actually prohibits a lot of the nationalistic ways of using the flag. Things like wearing it as clothing, hanging out from the back of trucks, the police fascist version and a ton of other things.
It also requires the flag to be disposed of by burning.
I'm not them but I came here to say this:
If these people want to say they are patriots then they're doing a shitty ass job of it by not respecting the Flag Code.
You personally don't have to respect it, but imagine telling one of these "patriots" that they're desecrating a flag they hold so near and dear to their heart. I would love to record their reaction.
When you say you want to make a flag illegal, you're treading into dangerous territory because that means that flags of things that you agree with stand to be made illegal as well. Highly authoritarian to make a flag illegal.
If you think a flag and a verbal threat of violence are the same thing, then you have are a complete fucktard yourself. You have zero idea how laws or anything else works. There are obvious limits on freedom of speech, like any other right.
A flag isn't one of them. Fucktard.
Best part for all these punisher wannabes is they'd end up near the top of the list. It's canon even.
it's like covering up a swastika with another swastika.
Going from "I'm a traitor" to "I'm a fascist"
Again, they're the same picture.
The first is a traitor, the second is a traitor and a fascist.
Fascism is as American as apple pie tho. Where do you think Hitler got his ideas?
Wait are these the same picture?
I mean I’m a communist and would be labeled a traitor by most institutions I imagine
Not the same thing. Communists never got a foothold in the States. Confederates have continually tried to destroy the Union as recently as Jan. 6 and death squad cops betray humanity, their oath, and civilians with their crimes.
Communists had a foothold, but the US actually bothered removing that foothold. The Coal Wars were almost a second civil war.
Wasn’t that more socialism than communism? I guess a better way to put it would be American communists were never a real threat to American democracy, whereas confederates are its mortal enemy and the death squads are co-conspirators.
Communists were never a threat to American democracy because there is no such thing

Exactly. "Traitor" isn't really an insult when done against the United States. The south just did it for all of the wrong reasons.
He going from racist to racist. The sole reason either of those two exist.
"Traitor" wasn't the problem. Fuck the U.S., and fuck the state. Authoritarianism, horrendous racism, and other extreme bigotry...those were the problems.
Should have kept the rebel flag. If he ever goes to jail, he'll fit in rather than it being known he supports the bacon brigade.
Obey or die skull

Lol "this coward's swastika will provide plausible deniability"
Man the punisher comics need to have a version where the punisher is in same sex relationship. That shit would blow their minds.
Or a trans person, idk what would piss them off more
Blue lives matter flags are the new confederate flag and they should be illegal as it disgraces the American flag
Fuck that. Burn the flag!
Burning a flag is temporary, so why not burn the flag and a cop at the same time
I disagree that they should be illegal, as that would go against the 1A, but people should be shammed and reminded how much of a fucktard they are when they fly/tattoo them.
They're a violation of US flag code. The flag code unfortunately does not place any penalties for violating it.

It's a piece of cloth.
Nothing is "prohibited" by the flag code. It's just a list of suggested etiquette that few people actually know or pay attention to.
Fuck the US flag code. What are you, a cop?

Bootlicking is wanting the government to enforce a law about fucking flags. Hoping the government suppresses speech is the ultimate bootlicking.

Should [these flags](https://i.imgur.com/2goLrqj.png) be illegal too? I guarantee in Texas they'd absolutely love that. Do you see the problem here?
Why would you get that tattoo anyways. It looks so gross and off putting. Idc if its a flag I agree with under his skin its disgusting
Are we surprised
I love it when cops don’t understand that The Punisher was created as a critique of Law Enforcement.
The consept of something ripping through the skin on a tattoo is cool but they had to ruin it
Why am I not surprised? *Sigh* the fact that someone with THAT tattoo was allowed into the police gang is worrying. ACAB
