Don't tread on me sign and a visceral hatred of cops is at least logically consistent. There are way worse guys out there

Love the "FUCK" peaking above the bed on the right
Sometimes an angry "FUCK!" is the only appropriate response
This isn't really a new kind of guy
This is basically just Angry Libertarian
You're right, but oh my god I've seen so many Gadsden right fucking next to a Blue Lives Matter you'd think I took crazy pills 
Same
It's amazing how many libertarians I run into who run close to grasping things
They hate cops, they hate corporations, they know the politicians are crooked
But they for some reason think that if we get rid of the few protections we have, everything will be fine
It's maddening
"Clearly the problem is we haven't doubled down on what's failing" is a quintessential American mindset. It exists elsewhere, of course, but the USA has a unique flair for it.
I see a modern day 
The 95 Theses would be better if they had the word Fuck in there a couple of times
Hate the pope
Hate indulgences
Love arguing
Banged a nun
Simple as
i can fix him
But you can't tread on him...
Fuck with me and I will kill you
Pig in the morgue, you're not a hero, you're just a corpse
This shit ain't nothing to me man
Blue lives matter - it's brain matter - pig been dead about an hour
Fuck it, I ate the opp
I'm glad I'm not the only one who made this connection
This reads to me as someone who has personally experienced cops not being there to protect them, and has had a hard time processing that.
E) I didn't notice the combat veteran sticker before, but this is an understandable "type of guy." They did a tour in Iraq, then came home and found out that the america they killed scores of Iraqis for was one that had youtube videos of american police not protecting their kid(s) at Uvalde with the sound of children's screams removed on the cnn coverage.
the sound of children’s screams removed on the cnn coverage.
They actually did that? That's so fucked up. How does someone censor something like that and live with themselves afterwards?
It's hard to find an appropriate link.
I was being flippant invoking CNN, I think it was the footage provided without that audio; but it was fucked up.
E) Not that it was fucked up to remove the audio because it's fucked up to hear children screaming or whatever, but the fact they had a graphic stating that it had been removed, or even showing the footage in the first place, I don't know. It's all fucked up.
Even if they didn't remove it, someone did. And I have no idea how someone who did something like that could sleep at night.
agreed.
More ideologically consistent than like 90% of don't tread on me guys.
A cop in my neighborhood has a Gadsden flag license plate on his lifted pickup truck
This could just be, like, a REALLY big fan of Ice-T's Body Count project
I still remember the Pigs getting upset by Cop Killer
It's why I still pop it on real loud from time to time, even though I live like 30 feet from the police station
That and N.W.A's "Fuck Tha Police"
It's weird to think that this guy is closer to understanding the core of international geopolitics than like, the DSA
Libertarians are sometimes VERY close, but inevitably they slip into "muh property", "freedumbz" or "heil hitler" on the last step.
They’re only close in the sense that they understand the state to be opposed to their class interest. But the correctness ends there because their understanding of class is the state versus everyone else. This smushes the bourgeoisie and proletariat into a single class, and it separates the bourgeoisie from the bourgeois state.
This is literally what no material analysis does to a mf.
I meant specifically geopolitics, like the first libertarian of Poland and successful grifter Janusz Korwin Mikke have the best takes on geopolitics of all Polish mainstream and semi-mainstream politicians. Which isn't much to be honest it mostly meant rest of them have unconditional reflex of hating Russia and bootlicking USA, but still. Also every time he is about to get elected he staves off the danger with praising Hitler or something similar - he does that purposefully because actually getting elected is bad for his grift, and to the point it became a meme in Poland.
some of these go hard tho
love the energy
