    If anyone has both of those flags hanging at the same time, they don’t understand what the top one means.

      I’d argue they don’t understand what the bottom one means, but I’m ready to meet you in the middle and say that they don’t understand any of the two

      Top flag: “don’t tread on me”

      Bottom flag: “when there are perfectly good minorities you should be treading on right there!”

        The message is step on me and get bit. Traditionally it’s an anarchist symbol encouraging unity and brotherhood among the colonies in defiance of the crown.
        But just like many other things it has been misinterpreted and misused by fascists.

            Firstly, that’s how you become identified as an anarcho-capitalist. Secondly, I’m a libertarian Minarchist. Aka Classical Liberal. Not a confused Republican

              although anarcho capitalists are larping, they already use black and yellow so i don’t think there would be much confusion….

                Yellow and black equals Libertarian Black and red equals Anarchy capitalism or at least that’s how it used to work back on Reddit

                Oh don’t get me wrong. My party has a shit reputation because it’s been infiltrated on purpose and turned into a mockery of itself.

                Classical liberalism is a political tradition and a branch of liberalism that advocates free market and laissez-faire economics and civil liberties under the rule of law, with special emphasis on individual autonomy, limited government, economic freedom, political freedom and freedom of speech. Classical liberalism, contrary to liberal branches like social liberalism, looks more negatively on social policies, taxation and the state involvement in the lives of individuals, and it advocates deregulation.

                Mind you I’m not saying the government is useless. I’m just saying there are some things that shouldn’t be regulated that are excessively stupidly regulated. There are other things that need more regulation. It’s a balancing act.

                  I find Nozick’s minimal state interesting. He seems to want to entrust violence to a state. How would such a system prevent the minimal state from forming monopolies or cartels by which the ruled give up economic and political freedom?

      Yeah I was thinking that those two flags are completely incompatible. I kind of respect the one that isn’t a gang symbol. Her reaction was still appropriate.
