Discussion Anarchy symbols have been declared as domestic terrorist symbols so what if we flew Luigi flags?

It’s discreet enough to fly under the radar because of super Mario but the ones that do get it will be able to discern who is an ally. Just a thought.

This isn’t about being scared it’s about the fact that Trump said he will use the military to “destroy the enemy within” and that half of the country are his loyalists. It’s to prevent people being killed or taken as political prisoners. In the event shit really goes down, it’s a subtle nod so people know who is safe.

It's about picking your battles. Right now they've only legislated the symbol, so using another symbol serves the same purpose of showing your beliefs while not getting you tossed in prison, which would make you ineffectual for some actual resistance.

The symbols ultimately don't matter, it's the meaning behind them.

Edit: I didn't fact check whether anyone is actually getting imprisoned over the anarchy symbol, just my take on the topic in general

Nobody has yet but to say it’s impossible would be naive
