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 had the Dont Tread on Me on twitter as my profile picture, I put that more than 10-15 years ago. I had to remove a couple years ago, because anyone who sees it will get the wrong idea.
Edit: also I was rewatching the movie Wind (about the American's Cup) and the Geronimo ship had the Glasden flag on, that hasn't aged well.
