I noticed this shit in the ’90s, the habilitation of the Gadsden flag in place of the Stars and Bars as an *incidentally* white banner of resistance against the government, and one that maintained continuity with the Founding Fathers mythology. Then the Tea Party claimed it but I mean it was just sitting there and it’s not like they aren’t legitimate heirs of both traditions.
It’s been nice to live up in Cascadia where we have a respected yet virgin imaginary of secessionism. It’s been fingerbanged a few times, though, and pretty curious about the next step.
Anyway the Cascadian flag, the Gadsden flag, the Rebel banner, the ACAB graffiti, it all says the same thing - “we identify with violent opposition to the official order, so you can trust us”.
