They accuse anyone to the left of Hitler of hating America while flying the flag of an enemy nation defeated 150+ years ago.

Not even the flag of an enemy nation. They chose the battle standard of a particular regiment.

That's what I was thinking. How is this in any way not the opposite of patriotism? On technicality they're steering torward treason, but neither state they adhere to exists anymore.

They chose this color to make flags out of it later, if somehow their brave march went south.

There's a reason they wear masks, hide all identifying information, and march only in a large group in sparsely populated areas.

Erm...Washington DC is a densely populated area.

mushroommunk@lemmy.today · 2 pts · 52d

In general yes, but the pictures I saw were at Union station and Senate Park. Senate Park is relatively unpopulated. Unless you count the squirrels.

Take the masks off traitors. I'm not afraid of some treasonous rats that hide behind a mask like cowards.

Remember when 4chan identified someone just from their eyes, brow, and nose?

The bike lock bandit. He ended up being an ethics teacher at a college and got fired for beating people with a bike lock. We just need that sort of investigation here.

That first image from 2017 is something out of a 90s court room drama about the racist south. It's so extreme it borders on caricature.

How can you be a "patriot" and then promote the flag from another country - a country of losers?

Dude in lower right has a bump cap in his hat.
