It appears that a user by the name of Kalcifer on lemmy.world is using several smurf accounts to force in a Gadsden flag (175, 175), the same carried by violent Proud Boy thug types, such as Alan Swinney, Enrique Tarrio, Tiny Toese, Joe Biggs, and many others, which I don’t feel should be represented here, and it’s clear that many agree because there were many who rejected the art and attempted to cover it, but it seems Kalcifer couldn’t take that. I think it’s clear that he’ll just make more smurfs, so I’d suggest an IP ban from the canvas, but barring that, I think it would be funny if people tried to thwart his attempts to cheat his way in because it flies in the face of everyone who’s had to put in the time to do it right.

Probable alts include at least the following:

u/anonymous1691293996

u/anonymous1691294527

u/anonymous1691295108

u/anonymous1691296202

All were registered to lemmy.world within the last hour or two, which coincides with the return of Kalcifer after a short break, and all place in rapid succession of each other, displaying eyebrow-raising levels of coordination.

    You obviously have your own bias if you encounter it multiple times daily. That isn’t average

    Here in Virginia, it’s one of the most common license plate options that isn’t the (utter dogshit) default option.

      Which means seeing it that often is average just for people who live in your state. Personally I can’t even be certain the last time I saw one that wasn’t on a screen. Maybe a few weeks ago on the back of a truck with some trump flags and stuff? All I can think of.

        So then why is your opinion of what the flag means any good, considering you openly acknowledge having near zero interactions with it?

          It’s exactly as good as your opinion, which is to say both completely unimportant and extremely important at the same time.

          Its all opinions, IDK what you want me to say. We could argue about it forever or stop talking right now and it would never be a settled fact either way.

          But really, what does that even mean? I can only have opinions about things I regularly observe specifically when not on a screen? I hope you would hold yourself to that same standard about things you don’t see in your day to day life.
