The English Raise "Skewed" Confederate Flag... and Other Symbolic Adventures

The "heart flag" virtue-signal idea...a ridiculous PMC Oedipal Guilt-Pride move to mollify Multi-Culti intolerance, IMO.  Save the guilt-pride virtue signaling for history books.  You can't substitute heart stickers for real national caritas and trust.  You have to Acta non Verba build that.
Let the Howling of the Trauma Cults Begin!
Young Patriots - Stripped of their Banner become Redneck Revolt... Southern Cracker Culture Re-Unification and Solidarity Achieved!

Andrei Tarkovsky

“We can express our feelings regarding the world around us either by poetic or by descriptive means... I prefer to express myself metaphorically. Let me stress: metaphorically, not symbolically. A symbol contains within itself a definite meaning, certain intellectual formula, while metaphor is an image. An image possessing the same distinguishing features as the world it represents. An image — as opposed to a symbol — is indefinite in meaning. One cannot speak of the infinite world by applying tools that are definite and finite. We can analyse the formula that constitutes a symbol, while metaphor is a being-within-itself, it’s a monomial. It falls apart at any attempt of touching it."

Race or Culture Essentialism?
From Google:
The swastika is an ancient symbol with original meanings of well-being, good fortune, and prosperity in various cultures, including Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism, and was also used in early European traditions before being adopted and transformed into a symbol of hate by the Nazi Party in the 1920s. The word itself comes from the Sanskrit "svastika," meaning "conducive to well-being".
Is Symbolic Re-Appropriation Still Possible?
To restore "National Essentialism" to a Multi-cult Society?
Offensive?  Or Funny?

How about if he added a 'heart' tattoo to virtue-signal that he isn't a "Cracker h8er"... @@
You can never placate the perpetually offended.  So don't bother trying.  Tribes don't trump the collective.  Find a better, less divisive way to virtue-signal your tribal (or individual) grievances, Achilles.  Try a ribbon next time.  Or can't millionaires afford an NFL fine or ten?
from Google AI:
The etymology of the name Achilles (Ancient Greek: Ἀχιλλεύς, Akhilleús) is uncertain, though it is widely believed to be a combination of the Greek words ἄχος (achos), meaning "pain" or "grief," and λαός (laós), meaning "people" or "soldiers". This compound would create a meaning such as "pain of the people" or "he who brings distress to the enemy", although it is also suggested that it could be a Pre-Greek loanword or derived from the name of the Achelous River.

Cuz your fellow citizens aren't "the enemy".  So stop insulting them as if they were!

If the national flag offends you, best look inside and ask, "why am I here"?  And if the answer doesn't satisfy you, it's on you to leave, not everyone else to accommodate your sensitivities and already overly-inflated sense of self-esteem.  Because Society doesn't bow to its Discontents, its' on its' Discontents to conform, work within its rules (written and unwritten) to change it, or barring that, leave for another.

Gavin Newsom Accuses President Trump of Using ICE to Intimidate Voters, and Illinois Governor JB Pritzker Says Trump’s Deploying National Guard and ICE to Disrupt 2026 Elections

Pritzker & Newsom are two liars are spreading false propaganda that ICE will be at voting places rounding up innocent people. I say What? ICE is not going to arrest legal voters so, it seems that both Pritzker and Newsom are afraid they will not get the illegal vote this time.
These two moronic liare aremaking it easy for Trump and the Republicans to win California and Illinois now.
The Progressives are on their way out, thanks to themselves. This isn't exactly rocket science though. Many young progressives are already on record as refusing to have children due to their belief that Climate Change is going to get us. But, I do want to personally thank the progressives for their patriotism and duty to humanity in not wanting to pass on their gene mutations.
Maybe it's because Progressive Women look like Maxine Waters.

The Liberals, Democrats, Progressives, all have begun pushing a narrative that President Donald Trump is sending National Guard troops and ICE agents to blue cities to disrupt the 2026 elections. Why? ICE will intimidate 'voters' into not showing up at the polls. Now, why would legal residents be afraid of ICE? You get what they’re implying, right? Illegal aliens are voting in our elections. Do these people want to HAVE their city streets filled with Criminals? And if they don’t, they why are they against President Trump wanting to clean them out? Can these Morons really be that Stupid?
NO, My Friends, the real reason why they are all so much against President Trump is because that they are afraid of his winning so much, and that they will never win an election themselves.

I. can remember when Maxine Walters was telling her moronic followers to harass Republicans in restaurants.

Such a sweet woman. Empathy literally dripped from her like honey.

Les Carpenter said...

Gotta LMAO given you support the filthiest most hateful a$$ on the planet. But she's black, so there's that.

Minus: You can never placate the perpetually offended. So don't bother trying.

And yet you do expect, as a White Supremacist, that your offences should be placated. By getting rid of DEI and hiring and advancing based on race (White being designated "more qualified").

So, on one hand we have White Supremacists like you demanding that their offences be placated. On the other hand we have you admitting that it will never be enough and saying it shouldn't be attempted.

Something isn't adding up here.

Les Carpenter said...

It never adds up, does it? In the wasteland of MAGA.

Anonymous said...

Les, you really are an Idiot, and you prove it with every post you write!

Joe Conservative said...

It sure beats the "more qualified = black" policy of the last 60 years.

Les Carpenter said...

Bulls**t!

Joe Conservative said...

Nope, the ACTUAL OFFICIAL record AND policy.

Les Carpenter said...

Nope, actual bullsh*t.

Joe Conservative said...

Affirmative Action and DEI sure were THAT. Race essentialist oficialista BS!

Les Carpenter said...

No, White privilege, white supremacy, and racism are are all bullsh*t. Affirmative action and DEI levels the playing field. The very fact some are just too stupid to understand why it was neccessary merely proves and reinforces their necessity.

Joe Conservative said...

It doesn't level the playing field. It skews it to produce unwarranted racial (vice performance) outcomes. Because race is "essential". "Racial justice" not plain old "justice".

Cuz history of the past is the scorekeeper. The present and future are both irrelevant. @@

“There is no such thing as collective guilt or collective innocence; guilt and innocence make sense only if applied to individuals.” - Hannah Arendt

So keep punishing people with no responsibility for the past, and feeding and rewarding people for their now grown belligerent narcissism. Maybe you should join a Zizian cult? Trans people are being oppressed, dontcha know!

Les Carpenter said...

So, the Holocaust and the Genocide in Gaza wasn't and isn't the collective actions of brutal evil people? Who knew?

Joe Conservative said...

Race essentialist killing other race essentialists. War born in Hell with combatants made for each other.

It's what you want for America.

Joe Conservative said...

Democrats... racial essentialists forever!

The kitsch ethics of WGP and Post-Colonialism.

Joe Conservative said...

What's horrifying about the Nazi officer burning bodies, or the mob beating a mother and her daughter in the Lyiv ghetto? I keep looking at this Photograph to try and understand isn't that these are deities of War, but that these are very mediocre people indulging a cheap desire to humiliate and kill, covered over with a kitsch fantasy of meaning. And that this is the truth of the Holocaust.

Joe Conservative said...

There is, of course, here and there on this terrestrial sphere a kind of sequel to love, in which that covetous longing of two persons for one another has yielded to a new desire and covetousness, to a common, higher thirst for a superior ideal standing above them: but who knows this love? Who has experienced it? Its right name is friendship.
-Nietzsche, "The Gay Science"

Friendship between Israeli's and Palestinians? Nah, their common (kitsch) cause is mutual self-destruction.

Joe Conservative said...

I think I need a snack...

Les Carpenter said...

Yeah, you need something alright. It's not a snack and you'll never accept what you really need.
