one of his former employees, Lauren Bousfield, has alleged that he fired her for coming out as trans
it's not relevant to this post obviously but I think people should know about that
I'm a 30 year old living at my parents house who recently got a job, in public service no less, and I can't afford rent. very cool!
not a gamer though so I've got that going for me
bury it in under a plate of GABAGOOL
"you're no different than a pod bro" says the guy angrily ranting into his podcast mic
anyway kinda weird to spend half the video glazing your own dad
meanwhile there's a lot of work that needs doing that is not being done. maybe people wouldn't be so "anti-work" if their work meaningfully contributed to society and afforded them a decent standard of living
oh yeah it's very similar to the top left one, like they started with that and just cut some notches out of it
ok I get that the Ukraine thing was a reach but it was the combination of yellow and green in those exact shades that immediately made me think of 
I think the trick is to use more rounded and curved shapes instead of hard angles
for example, I wouldn't tend to think "fascism" when looking at a traditional triskele
but contrast that with the nazi versions of the triskele: (CW for nazi hate symbols)
actually that 2nd one is pretty similar to the shoe logo, hmmm
I wouldn't have mentioned Ukraine if it was just green, it's the combination of yellow-on-military green that I found very reminiscent of that shirt Zelensky is always wearing. maybe a stretch but I feel like whoever designed this was inspired by Ukrainian military wear, intentionally or not. & I wouldn't say everything from Ukraine is fascist but their military has certainly aligned itself with neo-nazis
it was really the symbol that felt fashy to me more than anything though. hard geometric lines and rotational symmetry will always make me think of nazi symbols. like "copy my homework but don't make it too obvious" but with a swastika
gamecube logo is innocent (though, Nintendo is not)
and yeah this isn't an actual fascist symbol, it's just giving that vibe
"yeah well I'm not sexually harassing a young girl at this very moment, therefore you are a liar. check and mate"
- originally I had the text read "Commiefornia" or "Commiefornia Republic" but that's too meme-y; I wanted an unironic take on what the flag of a hypothetical communist state of California would look like
- changed the white to gold because it's the golden state, also communism (duh)
- I just copied the red and gold hues from China's flag because they look good together, but that might be too derivative
- The hammer and sickle is more akin to the Soviet version, I just grabbed an svg from the internet
- changed the bear's dark brown to black and the light brown to a different dark brown. looks sicker that way. also made the text black
- simplified the grass patch to be one solid color because it's cleaner
as a bonus here's my original hand-drawn "Commiefornia" sketch. I was too lazy to detail the bear but I liked it enough to create the vector version seen above
watching the bombs drop in Baghdad at age 10 was probably my first "are we the baddies" moment. after that I could trace my political development through the punk bands I listened to as a teen. when I liked Green Day I was anti-Bush but not really a leftist, my first exposure to anti-capitalism came from listening to Refused, and then getting into more anarcho-punk bands made me hate cops and the US military but still had "communism bad" brainworms. by my early 20s I had slipped back into being more of a radlib/socdem (Bernie 2016) and like most of you gradually became more of a socialist/communist from there
