Piss Boy terrorist truck was seen in Springfield yesterday
You must log in or register to comment.
He’s a tow truck driver from the thin yellow line Chevy logo.
Tow truck drivers have their own thin line flag?! Wtfff 🤣
I think the pale yellow might be dispatchers?
Its all so stupid.
There is one flag. Everything else is a disrespectful bastardization.
And the only reason to wear a black and white version is night time infrared identification in the military.
Similarly, seeing the “charging” flag on some police uniforms has been uhhh… interesting. That flag was for troops in combat. Because there’s a military tradition of moving the flag forward in battle. If the police are in battle then we’ve already lost.
The united states exists only to serve my specific interests.
I thought yellow was first responders like EMTs
I think that’s orange?
Again, its all pretty stupid imo. EMTs, FFs, police, whatever, already have iconography.
The “thin” whatever flags are all bullshit. It all comes back to an 80s documentary about a cop being killed, I think it was Dallas in the 70s. The flag crap all stems from that, which btw found evidence the person convicted of the murder to be innocent (his conviction was overturned after the movie was released). The name was a bit of irony about how cops perceive themselves, and how its different from reality.
Not that you’ll find anyone with one of those flags who has any idea what the origins are of course.
I thought they all really started popping up as a counter movement against the BLM signs. At least, that seems to be the implication around here.
They did, but that’s not where the reference comes from. It actually goes back WAY further to the 1800s, but that’s not super relevant (Scots in the Crimean War). The blue line has been referenced in the US for about a hundred years iirc, and had been a reference throughout PDs for themselves since around the 50s.
The movie I mentioned popularized the term outside of the PD, and the thin blue line flags started popping up as part of Blue Lives Matter in response to Black Lives Matter. Which is particularly gross to me, because it comes across as the police being in conflict with people of color, which just kind of proves the point of Black Lives Matter to me.
It took very little time for it to be a white nationalist symbol as well, in no small part due to many police also being members of the white nationalist movements out there…
So the flag is a response to Black Lives Matter, but the “thin blue line” has a much longer history that the flag is a reference to.
Remember, if you see a car decked out in Piss Boy symbolism you are obligated as an American to make sure that vehicle no longer functions when you leave it.
I love that, support the vets, right next to white supremacist stuff. I guess not all of the vets then right?
Everyone but the “losers”
Is that a bald eagle with Trump hair?
Looks more like foghorn leghorn to me
I don’t know how I continue to be surprised by how fucking dumb they can get
I was thinking it was a Trump chicken.
It’s perhaps a commentary all itself but I don’t understand any of this except the “okay” hand gesture which is ambiguous to me because I thought white supremacists tried to co-opt it but I have no idea how successful they actually were.
Can anyone define all the fascist symbolism here for me?
Same. I see a lot of far-right branded pickups and this doesn’t look like one to me. Am I missing something?
Edit: I see the Proud Boys logo is a laurel wreath with “PB” in the center. Though the laurel wreath by itself is ambiguous. That symbol is used in lots of non-sinister contexts.
In germany the “ok” hand sign is a neonazio dog whistle ( here the “hitlergruß” the nazi hand gesture is a felony so the fucks get creative). Dont know if it has the same meaning over the pond.
I’m not saying that’s not a thing, but I’ve lived in Ohio most my life and I’ve never seen that here as thing.
Looks like it need a bike lock through the window maybe some custom valve caps as well
Need to slap a couple of those “COEXIST” stickers on it.
