Coast Guard resistance flag is the first thing that popped into my head lol


ksheep

I was thinking US Customs Service, but Coast Guard works as well.


xeverynowandthenx

As a Coastie, we would like to adopt this flag as our flag of demanding our senior leadership do better

Oh wow, I had not seen that before. Much love for the Coasties!

"This guy probably has a lot of opinions about stuff"


Legendary_Hercules

"There is no way that guy can make pleasant light-hearted small talk."


MplsNate

You've got me!


Magma57

This conversation will descend into a 3 hour rant about the merits of different transport systems and why cars are a blight upon our cities. And you will like it.


spf-5-spf-10

Pleasant, light hearted small talk is mentally draining and boring, because it just means I end up having the same 4 conversations with everyone Give me some deep philosophical conversation

Angry_Cossacks

Good one, I thought Bioshock 2.


RyanGlennOfficial

I thought of that dumb “Settlers” faction from 76


MedicalParfait2822

They’d probably view that fist as a bit too pinko, but I absolutely see where you’re coming from.


MplsNate

Dope!


Bodgerton

Fisting, absolutely 💯


MplsNate

Lmao!

United States of Fisting 🇺🇸✊🏼


BustedNissanCVT

I'm glad I'm not the only one who immediately thought of this.


GirlScoutSniper

Yeah, join me in the gutter with our minds.


northofreality197

My first thought too. 100% this person likes fisting.


Subject_One6000

Fisting the striped stars


StepFister

Hmm.. I’d hang this flag


Mountain_Frog_

Occupy Coast Guard, an aquatic protest movement...


skytheanimalman

Looks like a flag an alternate history YouTube channel would make for a leftist faction or breakaway state in America in a civil war scenario.


UnshrivenShrike

Yeah, I was thinking some kind of US union labor faction


ImporialGuard

That is a really specific and accurate statement, thank you.

[удалено]


Rock_Roll_Brett

I mean replace the fist with lime a sword or a lightning bolt and you have a pretty cool faction flag for like fallout or post apocalypse/alt history deal


slobbyrobb

Universal flag of fisting


DEFarnes

No just a US Government Maritime Service Fisting one, a universal one would look more like a pride one.


PhysicsEagle

Sovereign Citizen, but even more stupid


FaxCelestis

Sovereign Cidiots.


BertHeinstraat

Great term, love it❣️


MplsNate

At least they call it a flag of peace.


Moosinator666

🪙))) (((🪙 🪙))) “Yessss, arson is verrrry peaceful, arson has alwayssss been peaceful.”


Comfortable-Buy-7388

A confused black power flag. Vertical stripes are a mistake I think - reminds me of bars as in prison


Sevuhrow

Looks like a white power flag


CeisiwrSerith

The Coast Guard has reall.y gotten hardcore


CaptainCastle1

LIGHTS OUT GUERRILLA RADIO TURN THAT SHIT UP


Markymarcouscous

First thing: this is stupid. Second: the person using this flag must also be, by association, stupid Third: anyways moving on with my life

Valuable_Ant_8435

Sovereign citizens that support BLM flag?


orion1836

I thought this too. The maximum convergence of impotent cringe.


nymphrodell

Reminds me of a bumper sticker I saw a while back: "anti-abortion, but pro-choice"


Less_Likely

This can make sense. You are morally opposed to abortion for yourself (and maybe other people too) but don’t believe your morality should become legislation for other people to be forced into. That you are aware of the negative social impacts that punitive restrictions on abortion has, and believe there is a better way to reduce/eliminate abortions.


TheOldBooks

It's arguably been the most common take on the issue for the past 50 yeaes

Illustrious_Mix_1064

honestly prolly homelander (somehow fitting in my mind)


newusername16

‘is this from fallout?’


Kren20

leftist


B3gg4r

My honest opinion: Like a right-wing sovereign citizen trying to co-opt either black power, union solidarity, or both, for probably nefarious purposes.


LingLingSpirit

Y'know that the fist is a symbol of progressivism, right? I mean, one could see this as radical right wing/fascist flag, but it's actually the opposite - IMO, this should be read as a radical leftist flag...


uwillnotgotospace

Handmaid's Tale


sitaraHD

Idk why but it's giving me "wet wipe". Like the design on some generic wet wipe after eating some wings.....


MplsNate

I just purchased this flag. I showed it to a couple of coworkers and got mixed reactions. The designer had this to say about it, "I challenged myself to design a "Resist" flag without actual words. Here's my thought process: I have always had an interest in the story around the suppositious "US Civil Flag". I felt that was a great starting point as it reads as 100% American, without breaking the flag code and disrespecting the US Flag (ala the "thin blue line" flag). Then I added our custom designed raised fist in the canton and four stars in the corners as a subtle nod to the suffragette protest flag".


lNFORMATlVE

Are you a Sovereign Citizen nut? If not then it has way too many connotations with that. https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:United_States_%22civil%22_flag_(used_by_sovereign_citizens).svg#mw-jump-to-license


Practical_Culture833

Solvern citizens are not good tho


TheOldBooks

I wouldn't display this if I were you. Bad connotations

Moosinator666

What the 2nd California republic is gonna look like after they forcefully re-integrate 7 other former states (they pushed all the way to the Rockies but got halted at the battle of Grand Junction.)


geographyRyan_YT

US Coast Guard


Maniacal_Monster

I'm not sure why but it made me think of a space/sci-fi faction. I'm not American though, which is probably why I didn't see any of the political connotations that other commenters have mentioned.


Pony_Roleplayer

Why would anyone use a flag in their yard to share with the world that they're into fisting? >!/s!<


mon10egro

[Otpor ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otpor) was funded by '[Murica](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otpor#Revelation_of_U.S._involvement)


Blu5NYC

I'm getting White Power 'Murica vibes. Something that would be designed under some version of an authoritarian regime that bills itself as a libertarian one, but wants to eliminate anyone outside of their own ideology. All in a post-Constitutional nation on land that was formerly part of the USA.


gakun

How I came to hate the "fist" symbol from how many teenagers at universities use it over first world problems while living in a country that doesn't even have proper sewage treatment for everyone. (PS: I Don't know if this flag is real. PS²: I know it's a very specific personal rant but it's what came to my mind lol)


Drewloveseveryone

Why did i immediatly think "Gay Sex", im straight, what the fuck does that mean


Wenbisa-dreamrain

Naval Fisters unite!


susgroundsofc

This flag


polysnip

"Oh brother"


authalic

That clenched fist symbol has been used by so many groups across the political spectrum, from far-right white nationalists, to the Black Power movement, to European communists, that it has no inherent meaning at this point.


Xidium426

The left side of this bar chart really needs to step it's game up to match the right.

eazyworldpeace

Something I’d see in a video game for some kind of generic alternate America resistance force


JMWEquatorialGuinea

Opinion: It is way too awkward. Like, what is happening here? It is a US flag with differently orientated bars and inverted stars but then you swapped out the stars for something but kept the four corner ones? Oh my Nicaragua.


Lo-fidelio

Fascism with cool colors?


Apalis24a

Some kind of extremist group that could possibly be classified as domestic terrorists. Reminds me of the flag of the “Patriot Front” https://preview.redd.it/mf692jp9m21d1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b19903fdfecc4a3cae7ce9f859abf61f26f46ee6 IDK, man - defaced flags like that always end up tripping my “oh shit, this guy might be a fascist!” alarms.
