In 2018 I spotted this car parked (perhaps coincidentally) outside the Democratic Party's headquarters in Salem, OR. This was BEFORE the George Floyd protests. That's a 3% militia decal and a "don't tread on my gun rights" sticker alongside a decal celebrating the joys of running over protesters. - ThreadSky

It's kind of amazing how neatly the car has mapped onto the American frontier neurosis. Entitlement to take up space, entitlement to go wherever I want, entitlement to do extreme violence to anyone who gets in my way, etc.

Gross. Sadly I know several dozen men who I grew up with (near to Salem) who could now easily be the owner of that trash bin.

What's exceptional about America is the number of truly nasty, deranged people who live among us.

At the risk of stating the obvious, this person who considers themselves to be a rebellious badass who doesn't do what "the man" tells him and is willing to shoot it out with anyone who doesn't agree, thinks that running over protesters HE DOESN'T AGREE WITH is super cool.

I wonder how he feels about armed protestors shooting back?

You know, I feel like reducing that car to shreddy bits would be morally correct.

This is Carl Schmitt's vision of friend/enemy politics in decal-bedecked automobile form--proudly embracing the idea that my fellow citizens with whom I disagree deserve to be run over by me, while I get to do militia training in the woods in preparation for overthrowing the government w/ impunity.

No need to overthrow the government when the government pardons insurrectionists.

People love creative ways of saying
"setting disagreements via violence is better than by reason", which is just the polite way of saying "tantrums work better for me than talking."

The felon is "the man" to maga and they do whatever he wants because they are good little cult members.

Horrible and frightening. Perhaps cars like this need to be dealt with for public safety

Do the card suits around the III% symbol have any significance ?

sethcotlar.bsky.social•7 days ago

Good question. I'm not deep enough into the world of 3 percenters to know what that signifies...but it surely has some sort of meaning.

Musk is the maga civil war mascot.

The naked intent behind Gadsden flags, 3P'er logos, and the all-too-common juxtaposition of Punisher logos + thin blue line flags

Love living right on Hwy-99 in the middle of the Lane/Linn/Benton/Marion county area. We have it all, here.
