George Washington would have loved Israel

George Washington got congress to sign a Whiskey Tax that had a huge negative effect on small whiskey distillers and benefitted only large whiskey distillers. This led directly to the "Whiskey Rebellion," in 1794, when the poor stood up to fight for their rights. Washington led the United States army to violently put down the protests. Hey, guess who owned the biggest whiskey distillery in America at the time? George fucking Washington. He was far closer to being Elon Musk or Donald Trump than he was to being any kind of leftist. Washington was one of the wealthiest men in America before and after the revolution. He and most of his close friends were wealthy slave-owners. Fuck that dude.

The only good kind of patsoc

Prbly no such thing as a good one, but hey, this image is good damn burn against pro-Zionist and American settler-nationalists

Tis like wearing the American flag a la abbie-cocktail

It somewhat indirectly disrespects both the original images, yet helps not only enhance but make a subversive message against it

That's what I call detournement!

Then again, we might accidentally get this a cultural recuperation! sans-shrug

Yeah that’s why it’s the only good use of patsoc. There’s no way to get socialism while retaining the empire, but dressing up patriotic symbolism in leftist imagery is great at pissing off the chuds, perhaps more so than flag burning. Like, in a way they’d rather have the country destroyed then see the outgroups claim it from them.
