What if you’re just really into contradictory messaging?

I’ve got it on my lower back.
Take that how you will.

I guess having naked concubines walk on your back is out of the picture. Seems weirdly self-limiting, but you do you.

Same goes for the thin blue line flags I see, specifically places on the driver's side rear window. It's not enough to support, you want the support to benefit you.

I’m starting to think people see those as a way to get out of speeding tickets.
In the 80s you just needed to know a cop and get one of those cards.

Its cheaper just to find a fleabag lawyer to talk to the prosecutor. They can get the points removed and change the offense to something like a broken muffler ticket. You still pay the fine, sometimes a little less, but it doent put points on your record and the insurance company won’t raise your rates.
Source: have done it several times. Costs between $200-300 for lawyer which is far less than the cumulative cost of insurance increases over time.

Yeah I've seen those too, like the ones you donate to receive. I've seen people just line them up on top of each other as some hope to receive favor from the officer.

Americans will literally do anything to get out of speeding tickets besides driving the speed limit.

- That flag violates US Flag Code which is a federal law, although not truly binding in a legal sense. So these people are ok with violating laws.
- It’s inherently racist. It was created as a knee jerk reaction by law enforcement (a job) in response to Black Lives Matter protests (a race of people). If you’re so so offended by BLM support then get a different job.
- It’s being co-opted by white supremacists & extremist groups (see #2).
These are what come to my mind any time I see one.

This is fairly recent. The Gadsden flag meant the complete opposite until it was co-opted by one side of the coin.

What does any of this even mean?

I was also very confused, so I looked it up now. So, here goes:
So, to bend the knee means several things. In the context of this post it means submitting to authority, in this case specifically, doing whatever Trump tells to.
The flag has been a libertarian symbol for a few decades, but in the last five-ish years fascists and MAGAts have started using it so much that it gets associated with them by default.
Historically, that flag has been a symbol of the war for freedom from British rule.

We have a sticker that has the snake, but its head is Jim Carey from The Mask and it says," somebody Stomp me!"

The only Swiss army knife I could get in yellow had that on it, I fixed it with sand paper.
Yellow is best color, ( I honestly gaslit myself into believing that)

If you pay attention, you’ll notice a few other indicators as well.
