Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.
If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.
Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.
Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.
Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.
Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.

A ton of US seals use eagles holding either 3 or 13 arrows. 3 is specifically used by the Department of War which is why it’s used here.
The seal of the US Senate actually uses fasces directly, but had been doing so for over 100 years by the time Mussolini got around to them.
I can’t find a good source but I believe that the bundle of arrows is actually Haudenosaunee symbolism, not Roman or fascist. The founding fathers were, at the very least, familiar with Haudenosaunee use of bundles of arrows to represent unity.
It is, but it was also used in Europe and Asia for centuries, for example it is Spanish symbol for unity used in XV century (that's why it was also used by Falangists and became widely recognized fascist symbol), it was also used by various nomad confederations, for example Hungarians name come from it (Hungarian fascists also used it as their symbol), and it's also used in Secret History of the Mongols by Temujin's mother meaning it was so well known to serve as the commonly understood metaphor.
