@The Inquisitor [☧] We could possibly come up with something better, or a related motif. Its not the greatest flag I've ever known, but I wouldn't hate it

2017-11-22 03:31:26 UTC  

it works as a party flag, but not a national one

2017-11-22 03:31:54 UTC  

national flag needs lots of swastikas tbh.

2017-11-22 03:31:54 UTC  

Hitler's thoughts on why they didn't just use any of the old flags are a compelling argument for scrapping the stars and stripes, or even the battle flag

2017-11-22 03:32:26 UTC  

Honestly I just want Burger-ism to die.

2017-11-22 03:32:40 UTC  

American nationalists are the most awful people I've ever talked to.

Hey

2017-11-22 03:32:46 UTC

2017-11-22 03:32:48 UTC  

Thats offensive.

brother I can't handle your PR

2017-11-22 03:33:16 UTC  

For a revolutionary movement founding a society around new principles, they symbol of national pride needs to be a new one that hasn't been used before.

@Hadrian I mean, Hitler didn't exactly pluck the Swazi out of thin air

2017-11-22 03:34:17 UTC  

I didn't like that bioshock

2017-11-22 03:34:20 UTC  

least favorite of the 3.

2017-11-22 03:34:44 UTC  

1 > 2 > 3 imo.

2017-11-22 03:34:50 UTC  

1 = Best, if you disagree KYS

Actually, people who will go first on the day of the rope are those who prefer anything but 1 and those who think Fallout 3 > New Vegas

2017-11-22 03:35:31 UTC  

I remember in one of the Infinite DLCs that's set in Rapture, they tried to redeem the hilarious strawman portrayal of Objectivism in 1...

by showing how tolerant the city was towards tranny porn

The swastica itself wasn't a unique symbol, but the colors and arrangement were unlike Germany (or its previous incarnations) had ever used before

2017-11-22 03:36:33 UTC  

Swastika is a sacred symbol that unites all aryans.

2017-11-22 03:36:43 UTC  

And it was intentionally designed to be jarring and unsettling to people who didn't identify it, while being a symbol of strength to those who did

2017-11-22 03:37:34 UTC  

We need to use an obscure American symbol, something that hasn't been subverted by the mainstream culture yet...

2017-11-22 03:37:49 UTC  

how about the Turkey? Benjamin Franklin wanted it to be our national bird instead of the bald eagle.

2017-11-22 03:38:26 UTC  

Charles Manson draped in an American flag shall be the new symbol of the TWP

2017-11-22 03:38:33 UTC  

@parrott plz consider this

2017-11-22 03:38:43 UTC  

nah, turkeys are lame. We eat them and they aren't a symbol of anything good

2017-11-22 03:38:51 UTC  

Unless we're going to Faith, Family, Fork

2017-11-22 03:39:04 UTC  

@Hadrian that's already in our symbol

2017-11-22 03:39:06 UTC  

we're one step ahead

2017-11-22 03:39:26 UTC  

tasty

“For my own part I wish the Bald Eagle had not been chosen the Representative of our Country. He is a Bird of bad moral Character. He does not get his Living honestly. You may have seen him perched on some dead Tree near the River, where, too lazy to fish for himself, he watches the Labour of the Fishing Hawk; and when that diligent Bird has at length taken a Fish, and is bearing it to his Nest for the Support of his Mate and young Ones, the Bald Eagle pursues him and takes it from him.

With all this injustice, he is never in good case but like those among men who live by sharping & robbing he is generally poor and often very lousy. Besides he is a rank coward: The little King Bird not bigger than a Sparrow attacks him boldly and drives him out of the district. He is therefore by no means a proper emblem for the brave and honest Cincinnati of America who have driven all the King birds from our country…

“I am on this account not displeased that the Figure is not known as a Bald Eagle, but looks more like a Turkey. For the Truth the Turkey is in Comparison a much more respectable Bird, and withal a true original Native of America… He is besides, though a little vain & silly, a Bird of Courage, and would not hesitate to attack a Grenadier of the British Guards who should presume to invade his Farm Yard with a red Coat on.”

"Cincinnati" here is, I think, the plural of Cincinnatus, the famous Roman dictator
