I like seeing a house with the black POW/MIA flag and a Trump flag.

Trump likes soldiers who didn't get captured.

In the same way that the 13th amendment does the exact opposite of abolishing slavery, I suppose.

There is no contradiction here for people who believe themselves entitled to protection from the law as opposed to being repressed by it... it is the unspoken contract that white supremacism implies.

I really can’t tell where you fall in any of this, but the 13th amendment is the stated legal justification for the slavery in the United States, right now.

Masquenox definitely agrees with you about that. I think what they're saying is that the kind of people with both of these stickers on the back of their trucks do have an internally consistent ideology that amounts to 'rules for thee, but not for me' where the 'thee' is most often minorities.

That was how I read it too. It tracks, they're nazis.

For the non American can you explain or add a source tying the 13 amendment to all this

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

13th amendment to the constitution abolished slavery except as punishment for a crime.

Edwin Van de Haar states although classical liberal thought influenced libertarianism, there are significant differences between them. Classical liberalism refuses to give priority to liberty over order and therefore does not exhibit the hostility to the state which is the defining feature of libertarianism.

You have the anti-fa and LGBTQ+ flags. You don't get to have the Libertarian flag.
