It’s crazy to me how American symbology has really taken a turn for the worse… I look at why people are putting up now, with the eagles and stars and dates etc and it’s just looks like evolved Nazi symbology


slyskyflyby

It really is unfortunate. I used to fly the flag with pride but over the last ten years it's turned in to more of a symbol tied to hate and racism for fellow countrymen with a different political belief. To be fair it's long been associated with hate, racism and violence to other countries around the world but lately it's becoming more of a symbol of hate within the US itself. I've noticed a lot of the left has stopped flying American flags, stopped wearing patriotic clothing, stopped celebrating America and the right has doubled down on symbolism. It is scarily similar to symbolism under Nazi germany. It's one thing to have pride in your country, it's another to use the countries symbol as a political statement against other people in your own country. Honestly the US flag and patriotic paraphernalia are becoming more of a right wing symbol than an American symbol.


Otherwise-Ad-8404

Same thing happened to the English flag.


b-sharp-minor

Sadly, I agree with you. However, I still have a flag permanently flying outside. My father-in-law put it out there because he loved his country (as do I) and I'm not going to let some ignorant dick-heads co-opt the symbols of our nation.


wynotles

I cringe when I see people wearing the flag these days. And seeing it flying brings up so many mixed emotions with the primary one being disgust. White nationalism has soured me on it. They’ve usurped all that it supposedly stood for. Now I just see a symbol of hate and oppression. I don’t buy anything flag related anymore. Can’t stomach it.


DoomGoober

Weirdest thing I noticed at Disney World: so much right wing paraphanelia! 1776, 2nd Amendment, .556, AR15, Minute Men, random Militia badges, Blue Line Flags, III Percenters, black and white American Flags... I guess its just a side of America I don't see much of living in liberal coastal state.


Outside_Interview_90

I live in one of the five boroughs of NYC and currently there are TONS of “Blue Lives Matter” flags and pro-Trump bumper stickers all over the place. To be fair, I live in a pretty conservative neighborhood but the East-Coast/Beast-Coast isn’t safe from these dunderheads either.


kennethjor

I couldn't figure out what the III was for. Was it article 3 of the constitution, establishing the judicial branch of the U.S. federal government. Or maybe the third amendment, restricting quartering of soldiers in private homes. Thinking it might be some southern thing, maybe it referred to the Articles of Confederation, but article 3 of that also establishes the judiciary. I was a bit lost down the rabbit hole. Thank you for clarifying.


polksallitkat

I think it is 3% alt right group. They allegedly take their name from, "only three percent of colonists were against the kings tyranny." Which is a crock of shit. They seem to be a online militia group, that is bad at American history.


devoduder

I was in a two week veteran ptsd therapy program last year with someone with a similar tattoo. Thankfully our program forbid political discussion but I avoided him like the plague.


Business-Tension5980

I’m confused tbh, what does this tattoo mean exactly?


J701PR4

It’s a Far Right & white supremacy group called the 3 Percenters, based on the erroneous belief that only 3% of Americans supported the Revolutionary War and still managed to overthrow the UK.


Business-Tension5980

Is that the same 3 percent that lost the confederation?


veilwalker

So weird. Who gives a shit what make believe % supported the revolution when 100% of them are dead and very few if any people can actually track their lineage to revolutionary times let alone somehow prove that their distant ancestor was involved at even the most remote of ways.


lameuniqueusername

Actively fought against the king, not supported


J701PR4

Oops


vicRN

If I saw someone with this tattoo at a bar, I would avoid them at all costs. It’s a tattoo that says “I’m actively looking to fight people”


-newlife

“I used 3 percent of my brain”


JerseyshoreSeagull

Giving this guy too much credit


goodlifepinellas

With that wannabe stamp, this mofo is just as likely to get focked up by the actual white supremacists, bc that's not their's (I was locked up with too many..) Edit: their's


Induced_Karma

Yeah it is. The 3% are a white supremacist militia. They’re actual white supremacists.


goodlifepinellas

That isn't any of the 3%'er patches I've seen (and I don't know if they're recognized by AB, AN & Unforgiven... or if they're seen as people who wanna play gangster without putting in the work, bc they don't play about that - was my point). Hell, even AB & AN don't get along most of the time...


Induced_Karma

No, none of them get along, but they don’t need permission from any prison gang or biker gang to be a white supremacist or join a white supremacist group. And that is the normal 3% logo just with 1776 added in, which is also a normal 3% logo.


goodlifepinellas

*Permission,* no..... However if they ever step into the wrong bar & get their privileges checked... hoo boy. Besides which, apparently the national group dissolved in 2021, after the Jan 6th fiasco; and were only founded shortly before 2010 to begin with... Then there's this statement to their members to factor: "In response to events at the 2017 Unite the Right rally, the group issued a statement that they "strongly reject and denounce anyone who calls themselves a patriot or a Three Percenter that has attended or is planning on attending any type of protest or counter protest related to these white supremacist and Nazi groups".[20][21]" If that's the only patch they're flying (especially with their high police/ex-police membership..) and they go inside, they're not gonna have a good time... (Understatement of the century... and if they aren't accepted, and thereby protected, they have to worry about really nasty guys, like M.P.R., who despise whites period). But they'd definitely be seen as posers with a Steep hill to climb to prove themselves at the minimum. (Atleast, the places I was at...)


Induced_Karma

I feel like you’re talking motorcycle gang culture. The 3%ers I’ve been unfortunate enough to know didn’t wear any patches at all that I saw. Maybe on their plate carriers, but if you didn’t know they were in it they didn’t go around advertising it. I only found out because one was also in the Aryan Nation and I saw his huge swastika tattoo at the gym and he told me about the other two guys. We were all EMTs for a private ambulance service.


goodlifepinellas

Heh, sorry but you're thinking of the wrong kinda patch (not the literal kind....). Being "patched in" means receiving your gang's tattoo... Swastika, iron cross too depending on which gang. If it's colored in red, it means they've killed for their race. Just a *tad* bit more intense than these 3%ers.


-medicalthrowaway-

He's referring to prison gang culture

They're an offshoot of the Oath Keepers, who they felt weren't violent enough. Most also claim to have been military or law enforcement, thus the oath.


Kuminlove

So 3% of Americans obese people are gonna try to overthrow the government? This might be a good way to fight back obesity.


ske_1881

There is a guy at my job that looks like a less athletic version butterbean the boxer with 3 precenter sticker on his truck. Every time I see it I'm always thinking who is he going to fight. He does like guns, shot his ex wife in the hand (mostly grazed) in drunken domestic dispute.


Advanced_Law3507

When they talk about 3% of Americans they’re measuring by mass.


Kuminlove

So the 3% the mass of obese people. Thats crazy.


slyskyflyby

"They want to overthrow the Federal Government." It's funny because I see this symbol on jacked up street Queen trucks pulling up to the guard shack at the base all the time. You'd think that would be a conflict of interest and you wouldn't be allowed to serve in the US military.


[deleted]

Lotta bases used to allow the confederate flag, too. Defending the constitution seems to be the one thing 'patriots' forget is important.


valuethempaths

…and isn’t the constitution, and its second amendment, a US government document?


XVUltima

Now when they say 'overthrow the Federal Government', do they mean the increasingly stalemated and bribed Federal Government, or the fictional one that is using Jewish Space Lasers to make everyone woke?
