I recognize that car, construction worker lady. I think the same person who got hit on Summer St Kennebunk a few years ago

What does the flag with the circle stars mean? I've been seeing it around lately

OriginalGordol OP t1_iu1wphv wrote

It's the "Betsy Ross Flag". Thirteen stripes, thirteen stars.

Some people are using it as a racist dog-whistle after back in 2019 Kaepernick said it was offensive due to its connection to slavery-era America.

"AMERICA FIRST" plastered on a German car that was assembled in Mexico.

It's kind of like the Volvo S60 wrapped completely with Trump paraphernalia tip to stern that I've seen before. A car that was made in Sweden by a Chinese-owned company.

If you were to google the original Volkswagen logo, it makes more sense.

Why would you hate the Biddeford mills that much

Someone should inform this driver that the mills in Biddeford closed years ago. They seem to have very strong opinions about those mills.

Just so long as you don't hurt MY feelings, is what it wants to continue to say.

Angry? I was laughing, because I find a subset of Americans such as yourself hilarious :)

The middle-class, eternally bored, high-strung type to jump to a conclusion that someone is an eco-terrorist because they have a vegan bumper sticker 😅

Or are "literally hitler" because they are driving a German car lol

Hoooooold on that’s the first I’ve ever heard of that specific use for it. That’s not automatically disgusting because there’s one obscure offensive reason for it. The most common understanding is the first flag of the United States, representing the 13 colonies.

First hit on Google "US flag with 13 stars":

https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/politics/arizona/2019/07/02/betsy-ross-flag-what-is-who-made-it-and-its-use-hate-groups/1629660001/

> "... The Betsy Ross flag has been used by many different groups over the years, including extremist groups like the Ku Klux Klan, said Mark Pitcavage, senior research fellow with the Anti-Defamation League's Center on Extremism. He said the association is weak compared to other symbols, though. > > "Most white supremacists would not know what the Betsy Ross flag was if you asked them about it, compared to all the other symbols that they constantly use," Pitcavage said. > > The anti-government "militia movement" also uses the Betsy Ross flag. Pitcavage said that tie wasn't strong enough for the average person to immediately connect the two...."

DeyCallMeTimmy2shoes t1_iu36c5d wrote

Wow way to be objective and unbiased. From that article you link the very first commentary on it I quote “Is it used as a symbol for hate groups?

That depends who you ask, though generally it is not viewed that way.”

pl8ster t1_iu4237x wrote

That made me laugh, but I think stickers would work. You'd probably want to run some tape around the outside to make sure the stickers stayed on. But then there might be tape residue...

Yeah, you're right. Envelopes.

I merely said that was the first hit. Every single article I found from my search had the same/similar information. I directly liked/quoted that one because it was the first hit and it was the most easily read.

Think of it like "the secret handshake". Those who know, know.

OriginalGordol OP t1_iu4ejwr wrote

The Betsy Ross flag is apparently a low-key one. Trump, of course. And there is so much overlap of sexism, racism, ableism, classism, etc, on the right that when I see one, I kinda assume the rest.

The Betsy Ross flag was displayed behind Obama at his inauguration. You're just taking an a hostile interpretation of it because this person overall probably goes against what you believe in.

OriginalGordol OP t1_iu4f2t3 wrote

If it wasn't for the "#f***mills" sticker and the license plate, I would have just thought they're a right-winger and moved on. It's those two things specifically that prompted me to post it, in line with the other "Keep it classy {name of town}" posts I've seen in this sub recently.

Papagriffy t1_iu5ahir wrote

the Betsy Ross flag is not a racist flag… a quick google search will explain. I understand the confederate flag being racist but. If anything the Betsy Ross flag is more nationalism than racist seeming how it was made just shortly after the Revolutionary War in 1777 to unify America, and if that’s a problem, I guess what I said is null.
