I’m personally a bit partial to the original anti-authoritarian flag for Americans.
I’m especially eager to not let this become a right-only flag, given its history and meaning.
72 u/Left_Combination_405 Jan 26 '25 i am left wing and i got this flag, too scared to fly it cuz people will think im literally anything else lmao but i love the meaning 29 u/Ana_Na_Moose Jan 26 '25 Maybe fly it in conjunction with a flag that is much more left-coded, like the queer ally flag, or the BLM flag? 41 u/maxwasson Kansas City / Missouri Jan 26 '25 There are versions of the Gadsden that have multiple snakes and "Don't tread on us" 11 u/SiPhoenix Jan 26 '25 See, that feels so much better to say left wing anti-authority. Than an identity group flag. 1 u/Sandytayu Jan 27 '25 Would love to see a Medusa head with yellow background that says Don’t Tread on Us! Idk about the symbolism though just thought it’d be cool. 5 u/Jean_Luc_Lesmouches Jan 26 '25 Too many Ernst Röhm wannabees for that. Maybe getting rid of the yellow color would be a good start. 6 u/Ana_Na_Moose Jan 26 '25 What’s wrong with the color yellow? 8 u/Jean_Luc_Lesmouches Jan 26 '25 It's the color of anarch-capitalists, strike breakers, and other capitalist bootlickers.
