    I’m just glad that they’ve finally removed the Gadsden Flag from the subreddit’s icon [1]; IMO, they were misappropriating it [5].

      • In April, 2023, it can be seen that they have what looks to me like a Gadsden flag [4] in the subreddit’s icon [1]. The subreddit currently has what, to me, looks to be a portrait image of Charlie Kirk [2]

      • IMO the Gadsden flag is primarily a symbol of libertarianism, and the ethos that comes with that; anecdotally, I recall a rather non-libertarian vibe on that subreddit.
