      morons: “don’t tread on me!!!”

      also morons: “stop living your life the way YOU want instead of the way I want!!!”

        It’s hard being a white male fire juggler in a post Unite the Reich rally world. Can’t buy tiki fuel without getting weird looks anymore

        See the top left image in the panel. Goobers were marching with tiki torches shouting “you will not replace us” if I remember correctly

          Yeah, but it isn’t a thing though right? I have like a dozen in my backyard and I don’t want to start getting dirty looks from my neighbours…

            It’s not. They can’t have my mosquito repelling tiki torches any more than they can have my Punisher or my cowboy boots.

            Those ignorant-ass weirdos can keep their fucking ear diapers though.

            Unless you also display a traitor’s flag or have runic tattoos you’re probably fine

              Fuck that. These conservative Christian shitbags don’t get to steal runes for themselves. They already have plenty of their own symbols. Crosses, swasticas, nambla logos, etc.

              I’d rather carve the runes off of conservative bodies than allow them to turn them into little secret codes for their precious racism and bigotry.

                Fair enough, but reclaiming imagery isn’t always easy; if you’re going to have runic tattoos, it’s probably best to also make a point of displaying your non-nazi politics.

                …fucking Nazis, they just can’t let the rest of us have cool things, they have to rune it

            As long as they’re stationary in the ground, you’re fine. Just don’t walk around with a lit one.

        Tiki torches used to be for bug protection (like citronella candles), but because the KKK used to march with torches and these morons can’t figure out how to make actual torches….

        The cheap WalmarKKK just go with that.

        I just worry tiki torches will attract conservatives to my backyard. Once an infestation sets in, it’s very hard to treat.
