    Not sure if Americans know this, but outside of US, like here in Canada, the US flag is now a sign that you support fascism…

    And this has all changed dramatically in the last 8 years. We used to never see American flags, but now you see people flying them along side their other racist slogans and flags.

      I’ll have you know, here in the US, people that are donning the American flag have been a sign of nationalistic fascism since at least the late 90s/early 2000s. At least no later than the inception of the Tea Party.

      The point of the comic is that even within the US, flying the US flag out of context implies that you are a fascist.

        It was the worst during the Olympics!!! Because it’s like are you trying to support our athletes? Or upset about public health measures? I HATED that it was the same symbol for both.
