Anyone else hate that the Gadsden flag has been appropriated by ultra-libertarian jingoists? It's an awesome-looking flag with a cool history and symbolism, but I feel like I couldn't fly it without looking like a twat.

I feel you, i had the flag of Culpepper's Minute Men hanging in my college dorm back in the day. Just like the Nazis before them Fascists bastardize shit they didn't create

The minutemen became part of the southern Army so it's not as if the symbol was ok to begin with...

Should have flown the Soviet flag and rainbow flag next to it. Really confuse people.
