it’s kind of a shame that the “don’t tread on me” rattlesnake image is specifically a right wing thing

because that image and text are just about the best visual representation of “do no harm but take no shit” ever

Same?

I’m especially upset because I used to use that flag as a personal symbol and talking point, because there used to be a lot of rattlesnakes killed out here for no good reason – given that if you just don’t pester them you chances of getting bitten are minimal.  It was a good way to talk about that.

And if you put that on a human scale, it seems to be a fierce sort of plea for the people on high to respect those lower down.  Which is the last thing the Tea Party stands for. >.<

And especially given that rattlesnakes care for their young, I’ve thought of re-purposing it recently.  To say that our communities will protect those that others disrespect (immigrants, LGBTIA+, disabled) no matter what threats we may face.

Yes! I would so want this if I thought it would take off.

SAME. There’s a very fiercely independent and anti-authoritarian part of me that would love to be able to claim this.

Maybe it’s time for a redesign or a slight touch up?

New rule: Gadsden flag in blue and white instead of black and yellow is now left-libertarian, anti-authoritarian, and pro-weirdo. Gadsden flag with the snake in pride colors is that but with a very explicit MOGAI focus.

I apologize for my terrible paint.net skills
