Neo nazi propaganda being posted around Fishtown/East Kensington
FINAL EDIT: A lot of people in this thread are intentionally choosing to play ignorance at this point. You ask “how is this Neo-Nazi content,” people point it out. There’s even a direct link on the sticker that leads to the actual telegram channel where the content is being displayed. I’ve also linked resources that explain what United Youth Clubs are and their affiliation to Neo-Nazi movements. And yet many of you still choose to double down. You can type out long diatribes about why you hate immigrants or how much you “agree” with the messaging on the sticker, but somehow can’t bring yourself type in and visit a link or even acknowledge what this actually is. There’s really no helping that mindset, and I will no longer be engaging because at that point, it’s clear where your true viewpoints lie. EDIT: Gotta love the power of the interwebs and Philly community! 🫶 S/O to everyone that went out and ripped this garbage down along their route. I WILL NOT BE REMOVING THIS POST HOWEVER. I believe remaining silent is compliance. This is an issue that seems to be growing increasingly more rampant not just around Philly, but nation wide and people should be aware and informed of what to look out for should they see similar signs like this. Spreading awareness ≠ endorsement. The United Youth Clubs is a Neo-Nazi organization. The link on the flier to that Telegram channel is a link to a white supremacy group. Hopefully this clears up some confusion from others questioning how this is considered “Neo Nazi”‘content. If you want to read up more, here’s a great article that outlines how these groups operate: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/apr/28/active-youth-clubs-neo-nazi-groups?fbclid=IwdGRjcAQtguJleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZAo2NjI4NTY4Mzc5AAEeowmgq2q8RnGcT0I8C7skZz9CtvTp1ICBthTiEphaTzQlPwbJx-kTx9TQOMQ_aem_xCB7fQyP_XNc9sSpJevkJQ ORIGINAL POST: Title. Was out walking my dogs and saw two younger white teenagers wearing camo and American flag hats going around hanging up these stickers in the East Kensington/Fishtown area along Front St. I want to rip them down, but I’ve heard of people putting stuff like razor blades and whatnot behind them and don’t want to risk it. They were hunched over a backpack looking like they were searching for something and taking awhile to hang it up and I’d rather not risk injury. If anyone in the area has the proper materials to safely take down the signs, this was posted between Berks and Norris. It looks like they’re making their way up Front. submitted by /u/Excellent_Delay7769 to r/philly [link] [comments]

Tan Suit Anyone?
Obama wore a tan suit and they called it a national scandal. Trump wore a $55 merch baseball cap to receive the coffins of six dead American soldiers and it's just another Saturday. Yesterday, Donald Trump showed up to the dignified transfer of six American soldiers killed in his Iran war wearing a $55 white "USA" baseball cap, the same one you can buy on his personal merch website. He never took it off. Not once. Not as flag-draped coffins were carried past him. Not as Gold Star families wept. No other sitting president has ever worn a baseball cap during a dignified transfer, based on publicly available images. Military protocol is clear: civilians should remove headwear and place it over their heart as a sign of respect. A retired Air Force Colonel pointed this out publicly. Trump didn't care. Governor Gavin Newsom didn't mince words, calling Trump a "disgusting little man." Former RNC chair Michael Steele, a Republican, demanded he take the hat off, saying it's called the "Dignified Transfer for a reason." These six people, Maj. Jeffrey O'Brien, Capt. Cody Khork, CW3 Robert Marzan, SFC Nicole Amor, SFC Noah Tietjens, and Sgt. Declan Coady, just 20 years old, died in a drone strike in Kuwait. They deserved a commander-in-chief who could manage the bare minimum of removing a hat. Instead they got a walking merchandise display. And yes, in the endless list of Trump’s unhinged deeds this is fairly small. But its worth pointing out. Obama's tan suit triggered days of media hysteria. Trump turns a solemn military ceremony into a branding opportunity and the same crowd says nothing. The double standards with these people is absurd. submitted by /u/Top_Needleworker6385 to r/complaints [link] [comments]

Do Canadians really want imported U.S.-style disinformation politics here — or do we want facts, context, and accountability? This is why public media matters.

I just went to a gun show. Was hoping to find a SINGLE patch for my hat/pack that represented some actual American morals. Couldn't find one. Anyone have suggestions?
I have a gadsden flag and a few other "American" patches that used to live on my kit, but goddamn it if they're going back without a few fucking clarifying ones too. I want people to know exactly where I stand, and it aint the shit thats been happening. Anyone have recommendations on some solid liberal or "fuck maga" style Velcro patches? Edit: Apologies if this is against any rules, but I feel like it's either crowd-sourcing or shitty etsy vendors that also sell all the maga shit, and fuck them submitted by /u/whiskey_lover7 to r/liberalgunowners [link] [comments]

The Office White Elephant Gift Exchange Should Not be Mandatory
I am not The OOP, OOP is u/sorotomotor The Office White Elephant Gift Exchange Should Not be Mandatory Originally posted to r/pettyrevenge Thanks to u/soayherder for suggesting this BoRU Original Post Dec 17, 2025 I hate “white elephant” office gift exchanges. Every year, our team joins/competes with two other groups on our floor. Participation isn't mandatory, but there's a distinct message of "everyone is expected to be a part of this team-building exercise". The combined group is large enough so anyone can add a gift anonymously. For the past few years, I have been secretly sabotaging the exchange in the hopes we’ll switch to “Secret Santa” so I can opt out. My petty revenge: every year, I contribute a “nice” gift obviously from me, along with one or two anonymously-given “bad” gifts. Every year I get a little bolder and go a little farther. Here's what I’ve contributed for the past few years: 2021: I put a potato inside an iPhone box and shrink-wrapped it. 2022: A Bible from a used bookstore, a toy American flag, and a red MAGA hat I found in a parking lot. The next day HR sent an office-wide email about politics in the workplace. 2023: Toy handcuffs, a cheap eye mask, and a cat toy I modified to look like a riding crop. The next day HR sent another office-wide email. 2024: A bottle of Robitussin, a bottle of Night Train, and a copy of the National Enquirer. Our white elephant exchange is next week. I’m thinking about giving a carton of cigarettes and a set of fake eyelashes. Edited to add: > Will you come back and update us? I want to hear what you choose, and what the reaction is Yes. I wasn't expecting this to be so popular! I'm glad to know I'm not alone in my hatred for team-building exercises and white elephant exchanges, especially when they're not mandatory but you can't decline to participate. I've found my people! Thank you. Update Jan 15, 2026 (1 month later) The Office White Elephant Gift Exchange Should Not be Mandatory: Update You all wanted to know what happened, so here it is. First, some background. Every year, my company has a "white elephant" gift exchange. Participation isn't mandatory, but the message is clear: the exchange is a team-building exercise and everyone is expected to participate. Well, I hate office gift exchanges and mandatory team-building exercises. For the past several years I’ve been quietly sabotaging the gift exchange with “bad” gifts. To deflect suspicion, I always give a “nice” gift. This year, I gave a $25 gift certificate to the local coffee house. My roommate and I have been calling the project “Santa, or Satan?” For my “bad” gift, I found a used DVD at a thrift store and I immediately knew what I had to do. I then went to a market and got the other part of the gift. I wrapped up everything, and slipped my gifts into the pile a few hours before the party. The gift exchange was boring and unremarkable: a cookbook, a stainless-steel travel mug, and a lot of gift cards. Then someone opened another “bad” gift: a coffee mug with our competitor’s logo on it! The competitor’s mug got a lot of laughs and I was a little jealous I hadn’t thought of it. But then someone opened the “bad” gift I submitted for Holiday Party 2025: A DVD of Babe and a jar of pickled pigs’ feet. Reactions were mixed. Many people laughed, others were disgusted. Surprisingly, HR did not send any emails, so I congratulated myself on a job well done until next year.

Just saw a guy at the grocery store with a giant American flag tattooed on his back and a Trump 2024 hat on, felt so proud to be an American today
So I was in line at the local Walmart when I saw this dude with a huge American flag tattoo covering his entire back. He was also rocking a Trump 2024 hat and singing the national anthem loudly. Honestly, made me wanna salute right there. Only in Murica can you see this kind of patriotism in the wild.

If Your Idea of Utopia Lives in Blue New England, Perhaps the Real Problem Is That You Keep Voting MAGA and Shitting All Over Your Own Backyard
Sometimes the stupidity is so dense you could mine it for rare Earth minerals. A MAGA fan page marched proudly onto their favourite Klan hall, X, to declare that liberals hate the wholesome charm of small town “Republican America,” posting a photo like a nostalgic postcard from the land of moral purity. Except the town is Concord, Massachusetts. One of the bluest, best educated, most liberal communities in the nation. A town in a Commonwealth where Trump did not win a single county, not a single fucking one. And yet the MAGA rotted brain took one look at a brick storefront displaying an American flag and concluded, with full confidence, that they had discovered Conservative Eden. This is ignorance that has smoked meth, put on a red hat and gone sightseeing. And this is what makes the whole spectacle so darkly uproarious. The "people" shouting loudest about “real America” almost always come from states drowning in their collective ignorance and human excrement. They have oower life expectancy especially that are made worse by their higher infant mortality rates, driven by stripping abortion rights. They have significantly higher poverty coupled with countless uninsured families. Failing schools that believe the Bible is more important than arithmetic. Collapsing hospitals at best, empty hospitals where Trump’s funding cuts forced them to close their doors. They experience brain drain as their only skilled children pack up and leave their third world conditions. Yet, they sneer at education as elitist, then struggle to read the news and data that proves how catastrophically their policies have failed. They mock blue states while living off the federal tax money stolen from those same blue states so they can live their life of abject squalor. It is like watching someone stand ankle deep in their own feces while bragging that at least their worn out boots are patriotic. So when MAGA cheerleaders point at one of the healthiest, wealthiest, most progressive towns in America and proudly call it “Republican charm,” it is more than ironic. It is a flashing neon sign announcing that they do not understand the reality of the country they claim to own. They cannot recognise success because they have only ever experienced it by proxy. They fetishise the aesthetics of small town life without realising that the towns they admire are powered by values they vote against. Investment in people, public education, community infrastructure, decent social policy, and taxation of the wealthy. In summation, competence and human decency. Liberals do not hate small towns, they just do not confuse pretty buildings with political validation. Meanwhile MAGA keeps proving, again and again and again, that you can be loud, smug, and laughably wrong all at the same time. submitted by /u/Kinks4Kelly to r/complaints [link] [comments]

How to Burn an American Fucking Flag
Burning the American flag in protest is STILL protected under constitutional law. The president's executive order does not create a new statute one could be prosecuted under; it only adds advisement to law enforcement to more heavily investigate and prosecute these events based on additional laws broken, such as trespass or public endangerment. Be safe, stay within the absolute letter of the fucking law and do not let anyone tell you that the first amendment does not protect you. It absolutely fucking does. EDIT to reinforce: This is not my endorsement of the burning of the American flag. It is a reminder that no one has the right to tell you how or why you can or should protest your government, when it has been explicitly protected at several points in history. Free expression means free expression, and any effort to curb that (including from the "you're playing into the narrative" good-vibes-only crowd) must be pushed back against. submitted by /u/killians1978 to r/chaoticgood [link] [comments]

I’m the flag guy
Hey all, I’m the “Fuck Trump” flag guy you’ve seen in a few posts. I just wanted to do a semi-introduction to everyone in this subreddit. My name is Matt. I’m an LBC transplant by way of Philadelphia. I’ve helped organize protests during BLM and the George Floyd Protests with a few Asian American grassroots orgs and 501(c)(3)s in the Philadelphia area, along with working to establish myself as a helping arm and volunteer for 50501 SoCal and 50501 LBC. I wanted to extend an invitation to anyone who is interested in protesting but also a little worried by what they see in the media. Yes, protesting can be dangerous at times and can come with consequences like being arrested, but if you believe that getting arrested for speaking your mind and voicing concerns is more important than sitting in your home, you’re the person I’m looking for. I’ll be at Bixby Park Annex on Saturday for the No Kings Day Rally at 9am. If you’re interested in protesting and want to be around someone who’s been in the middle of it all and can offer some comfort during the march, find me. We can walk together and I’ll help you be as comfortable as possible if anything happens. I’ll be hanging out on the perimeter of the rally with an upside down American flag this time. I’ll be wearing all black with a camouflage hat. Let’s show the world that LBC comes out for our people! See you there and FUCK TRUMP! submitted by /u/mattbookpro101491 to r/longbeach [link] [comments]

Anyone else get weirded out by the extreme fetishization of the American Flag by Righties?
Long story short my wife (30F) and I have been in a rough place these last couple of months. We have been working through our issues though. One of my wife's requests was that I get more active. With all the crazy stuff going on in the world, like the rise of fascism and insane/bipolar tariff policies, I have been stressed out of my mind. One way I practice self-care during stressful times is eating sweets and or nice meals (I do a lot of doordash/uber eats) and doing my hobbies in my office (anime, Legos, Video Games etc). Needless to say I have put on about 20 pounds these last couple of months. My wife noticed this trend and, she encouraged me to get out of the room and off my computer into more "Active" activities. She has suggested running, hiking, gym, sports etc. I have never really been an athletic person, I have asthma and another chronic condition, and so I will admit that I was kind of offended. For the sake of our marriage though I decided to give it a shot and agreed to accompany her to her gym to start a workout routine, something I had never done before. She had a couple of guest passes so I could do a test run for free. When we get there, my internal alarms start blaring immediately. The place is infested with meathead Gym bros in tank tops, some wearing backwards hats etc.. I see one guy off in the distance pulling up a bar grunting really loudly the just dropping the bar on the floor. He is one of many noisy "alpha" bros lifting and grunting. A loud boring bro rap song is blaring. Luckily I brought my noise cancelling headphones. To my utter contempt though right as you walk in there is a huge American flag displayed above the check in counter. I do my best to ignore it, but I can't help but feel an extreme uneasiness knowing what kind of people associate themselves with the American flag these days. To be honest I am kind of disturbed that my wife would want to frequent a place like this, that is so Pro-MERICA Yee haw shit. I center myself and provide them the guest pass. My wife runs off to a cardio machine. I decide to try a weight machine to see what is all about. I don't mean to brag, but my legs are pretty strong, probably the only strong part of my body lol. I decide to test them out on a leg push machine. I am on the machine doing my workout and watching The Majority report on my phone during breaks. After only being on the machine for 10 minutes one of these bros asks me if he can "work in". I tell him I only need 10 more minutes. He then makes some snarky comment about me being on my phone more then working out. Real welcoming environment lol. At this point I am in a pretty bad mood, and that flag is causing me to experience an elevated level anxiety. I decide to ask the front desk about it. I make my way over there and talk to one of the workers, I try to explain to this "bro" that the American Flag fundamentally is a representation of some pretty terrible things these days. That this flag is causing extreme distress to bipoc and LGBTQ peoples. The meathead couldn't have been more apathetic. Strangely enough the another older man (probably mid 40s to early 50s) walks up and asks me what the problem is? He states that he is the owner of the gym in question. I go on to explain to him how this flag/symbol is causing real pain and fear for many minorities and people like myself. I do my best to stay composed but I am fairly emotional trying to express these sensitive topics, and I can feel my hands trembling a bit and my voice is a little shaky. My wife must have heard or seen what was going on because she approaches me right as I finish my speech on how the American flag represents hate, MAGA and white supremacy, and how he should consider taking it down. Instead of supporting me or gaining more context, she immediately asks me "what the fuck are you doing?" . The owner gives a smarmy chuckle and goes on to tell some story about how he is a veteran and how the flag is a reminder to him of his time in the service and his "buddies" in the marines, some of whom did not make it home from Iraq (a fucking stupid pointless war I might add). I make the point that regardless of what the flag means to him, it means pretty terrible things to a lot of vulnerable people, and that he is most likely breaking flag code and could get in trouble for that especially as he is a veteran. I also explained that he should be closer to these issues as well as he appeared to be African American. As a compromise I suggested that maybe he could hang up a (trans inclusive) LGBTQ flag alongside the American flag. That way people would know he has ethical values. After a long sigh the guy, in a condescending tone and attitude, says that he appreciates my comments but that he was going to continue running his business the way he wants to. He said that he could cancel my membership free of charge today if I was uncomfortable working out here. I had to of course of explain that I was using a guest pass and that I was sure there were several others like me who most likely would not join the gym due to the culture here. He chuckled again and said he was just a "dumb grunt" trying to run a small business. My wife laughed and said that he appeared to be doing pretty well for being just a dumb grunt. At this point I am fuming and I tell my wife I am leaving and that she should join me. She stated that she was going to finish her workout and that I should uber home. I decide to take a stand and so I flip off the flag and storm out the door. As I am leaving I look back and it appears she is profusely apologizing to the owner. My wife did not come home for several hours. She has been cold and distant for the last few days know and I can only assume it is because of this incident. I tried explaining to her how fucking weird it is for people to fetishize the American flag like that, and that lots of the worst groups use the flag as a rallying cry for hate. I also told her how much better europe is and how weird this same behavior would be there. She is really not listening to me. Feels frustrating that Flag worship is normalized here. submitted by /u/BeyBey1515 to r/millenials [link] [comments]

[Art] A little clay and some imagination turned this D&D venom troll into your average redhat!
FULL DESCRIPTION: D&D venom troll on grassy base around three inches in height, painted with a denim loincloth, tattoos, and a dirty tank top featuring the American flag. Added red hat, Mountain Dew bottle and giant hotdog made from green stuff clay. I’ve only been painting miniatures for around 5-6 months, so it was a challenge doing the text details. I’m really happy with the results so far though! Im only able to post one image at a time, but my other photos show the tattoos and denim details which can’t fully be seen here. Looking forward to more wacky projects and more improvements! submitted by /u/RatLamington to r/DnD [link] [comments]

Don’t Tread on me!
This past Saturday my wife and I went to a cubs game with her family. We all packed in a van to save on parking money. My wife’s aunt declares right after we left “I probably shouldn’t take my koozie into the stadium. It’ll probably offend someone.” Then proudly held up her brand new “Don’t Tread on me” koozie. When none of us reacted she says “oh crap. And I’m wearing an American flag hat. I bet that’s going to offend some libtard too.” My wife’s family has never been quiet. We try to avoid things that might trigger some of the more red hat following crowd but I felt my wife tighten up and she spoke up saying “We don’t hate the American flag. We actually love and respect it. We just don’t weaponize it.” You could hear a pin drop in this van filled with me and 6 other people who usually are very loud and always talking. It was great lol. submitted by /u/Roguefrenzy to r/BoomersBeingFools [link] [comments]

The 2023 Armed Forces Day On-Field hats released today. At least they didn’t put the American Flag on Toronto this time…

Saw this guy wearing this shirt at the Colonial Fort I worked at. Bonus points his hat said "Proud to be an American" oh the irony...

I had someone point out to me the other day that the Patriots logo was a stylized Patriot carrying an American flag while marching forward. I decided to make a less stylized version, and while I'm not totally convinced, it definitely could be what the original artist was thinking.

Tough guy shows up to the scene of the Santa Fe shooting armed with a pistol and an American flag, under the guise of "offering support" and "making America great again," all so he can make pretend he's a badass.
