The black flag no longer means anarchism?!

Apparently Trumpers are flying a black flag.

In one troubling new development, Trump supporters have begun flying all-black American flags, in an implicit threat to harm or kill their opponents — meaning nonwhite people, "socialist liberals," Muslims, vaccinated people and others deemed to be "enemies" of "real America." As media critic Eric Boehlert recently noted, the liberal opinion site Living Blue in Texas is sounding the alarm about the specific meaning of the black flag and the Republican-fascists support for terrorism and other political violence. That post, "Are Your Republican Neighbors Planning on Killing You?", merits lengthy quotation:

It didn't take long to find hundreds of videos where these Trumpers and so-called patriots were hanging black American flags. ...

Black American flags are the flags that mean "no quarter shall be given." They are the opposite of the white flag of surrender.

According to the people on TikTok and the Sun (British tabloid), the black American flag originated in the civil war and was flown by the Confederates.

It means that they will not surrender, will not take prisoners, and are willing to die for their cause. It means they will execute their enemies.

Who are their enemies? Pretty much any non-Conservative. You know, Democrats, Liberals, LGBTQ, BIPOC, and the vaccinated. ...

It's a fucking flag. Jesus H. Christ but people find the dumbest things to get their panties in a twist over.

What does an "all-black American flag" look like anyway? How could you tell it from a plain black flag?

And, is this really just a conspiracy to sell bug spray?

Salon is lying to you with absolutely insane shit again.

Some of us have been wearing subdued US flags for most of our adult lives.

I got them all over my military uniforms and gear.

I know of several PD's that wear them on their uniforms day in and day out.

2x3 1/2 patches....

Yes.... the writer saw some RW looking types with subdued flag patches and decided "IT'S A SYMBOL OF WHITE SUPREMACY!!!! A DOG WHISTLE!!! ".

Nothing but pure idiocy.

Those are simply flag patches in subdued colors to be worn when high visibility isn't desired, like military or outdoorsmen who don't want to flash high contrast bright colors in the field. Lefties are loonies.

"Anti-Trumper" =/= "Commie."

There is doubt as to whether it really has roots in the Civil War; generally, it's associated with piracy.

But, what ever happened to Anarchism?! Has everybody simply forgotten that movement ever existed?!

instead of a blue field and red stripes, everything is black and white. i have one on one of my jackets and i was wearing it long before (t-word). now i'll have to rip it off so no one gets me confused with 'those people'.
