Step on Snek Rule
(sopuli.xyz)
For clarity, are you saying that you want to be represented by boot in the image?
I dont beleave OP is saying they personally want that. I think their saing the snake in the photo beleaves that they will get to be the boot someday
[…] I think their saing the snake in the photo beleaves that they will get to be the boot someday
If that's the case, the exact meaning of that statement isn't exactly clear to me. Does "the snake in the photo" refer to people who support liberty in general? Does it refer only to people who stand beside the Gadsden flag? Does it refer to people who misappropriate the Gadsden flag?
Does it refer to people who misappropriate the Gadsden flag?
yes, probably. they just mean that they will gladly tolerate the pain of being stepped on in order to be the boot someday and step on others.
Thread on me harder, Daddy.
IMO, an entity that supports authoritarianism has no business associating itself with the Gadsden flag in the first place. So I'm not exactly sure what message this image is trying to convey. Is it saying that those who support liberty fundamentally support authoritarianism somehow? Is it calling out those who misappropriate the Gadsden flag?. Is it accusing those who espouse liberty of cowardice of inaction whilst they are oppressed by authoritarianism?
when he said "Don't tread on me" he was referring to his right to remain an enslaver. it's impossible to misappropriate a libertarianism like his that at the same time as advocating for autonomy, also believes in bondage.
if all libertarians were anti-state, anti-hierarchy and anti-capitalist (none of which hold true for him) the anarcho-capitalists would stop being associated with libertarianism. those are the people being made fun of in the picture.
Wearing almost these exact boots right now, only mine have plated steel caps and one shoelace is red while the other is black
