Yeah, but it isn't a thing though right? I have like a dozen in my backyard and I don't want to start getting dirty looks from my neighbours...

As long as you don’t march around with any lit ones I think you’re fine.

[–] NOPper@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Like a weirdo.

It's not. They can't have my mosquito repelling tiki torches any more than they can have my Punisher or my cowboy boots.

Those ignorant-ass weirdos can keep their fucking ear diapers though.

Kill a cop in your shit kickers and I'll believe you.

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm doing my best by voting, canvassing, and donating to police reform candidates. I ain't doing anyone any good in jail for killing a cop.

Oh, they don't really let you go to jail if they can in any way avoid it.

Unless you also display a traitor's flag or have runic tattoos you're probably fine

[–] Burn_The_Right@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Fuck that. These conservative Christian shitbags don't get to steal runes for themselves. They already have plenty of their own symbols. Crosses, swasticas, nambla logos, etc.

I'd rather carve the runes off of conservative bodies than allow them to turn them into little secret codes for their precious racism and bigotry.

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Fair enough, but reclaiming imagery isn't always easy; if you're going to have runic tattoos, it's probably best to also make a point of displaying your non-nazi politics.

...fucking Nazis, they just can't let the rest of us have cool things, they have to rune it

[–] Burn_The_Right@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

they have to rune it

Nice one!

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

I'm glad you caught the pun :)

As long as they're stationary in the ground, you're fine. Just don't walk around with a lit one.
