MAGA shit, thin blue line, black US flag, etc...

In case a civil war actually happens, it's good to know the enemy.

All of that plus any "Punisher" logo on clothing or vehicles.

[–] [email protected] 55 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

Especially that punisher skull motif with the Trump hair. That takes the cringe to a new level.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 2 weeks ago

The punisher would shoot them for that and not look back

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 weeks ago

So far, I’ve only seen one of those. They’re so stupid looking that if it had been by itself, I wouldn’t have been able to tell if it was meant as a joke. They also had one of those “thin blue line” American flag stickers, though, so that cleared it right up.

I thought you were making this up, but no, we're really exploring new frontiers of cringe

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's also a fundamental misunderstanding of the character. It's like all they know about him is the name and the logo.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

right winger love to co-opt signs and things of other cultures, concepts and PERVERT into as a right wing identity.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago

I had to do a search. I’m sorry I did.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I'm about to get a LGBT punisher logo for my car. 🤣

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago

That fits with his ideologies far better than the thin blue line skull nonsense.

dont forget thier lifted giant trucks, that are 1-3feet off the ground. we get it you bought a giant truck to look "masculine" and your wife is a soccer mom and a karen.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago

100%. I've recently added the "Grunt Style" tshirts to my red flag catalog.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago (5 children)

What’s wrong with a black US flag? It’s a discrete way to display the flag no?

[–] [email protected] 36 points 2 weeks ago

It’s not really a us flag once you change it.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

It supposedly means that "no quarter will be given".

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 weeks ago

Well, shit. Didn't know that thanks

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago

Because I'm surely not the only one going 'why would I want change, I paid with plastic': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_quarter

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

Start asking for bills then. No point in asking for dimes or nickels.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That's also what US Nazis say.

I'm Canadian, they use a black flag up here too. I don't know or care about proper flag usage, I just know if I see a black Canadian flag on someone's car or clothing that they:

  • hate the left
  • own a gun
  • want "freedom"
  • don't care about the environment
  • possibly racist?
[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

It's against flag code and is considered not a proper flag.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

At this point in my life I couldn’t care less about the flag code. I just like to be discrete. But as people have pointed out, there are meanings that people are already using it for of which I fundamentally disagree with so….

Good thing I never got around to it

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Seems like a dogwhistle confederate flag to me.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

I mean, if it's on clothing, it's not a flag, it's a flag image. Ergo, the flag code doesn't really give a fuck.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

Ugh. I hate it when people downvote others for asking legitimate questions. I didn’t know it had a special meaning either, so thanks for taking one for the team. 🤷‍♂️

Add "Gulf of America" shirts to the list
