Am I tweaking?
For those who couldn’t see what I was referring to about the dates: I know this one is a stretch, but alongside the lightning bolts that TPUSA doesn’t use literally anywhere else or have any campaign/slogan relevance, it’s suspect. Definitely minor in comparison but worth noting given the much more blatant surrounding context
Given that it’s TPUSA they know and it is.
The thing is these are United States Fascists. They have a giant library of fascist imagery tailored to the United States already. It’s all over. The United states aped a lot of Imperial Roman architecture and style for its capital building and aesthetics. The bundle of sticks -the fasces - is all over. Lincoln’s hands rest atop them in the Lincoln Memorial. Cincinnati was named after the Roman legend of Cincinnatus, because George Washington only sought 2 terms and didn’t become a king he was compared to Cincinnatus and was called American Cincinnatus etc etc it’s all over.
The Germans also aped the Romans, because they were aping the Italians who were aping the Romans. Rome Rome Rome the fascists love Roman iconography.
You know what isn’t Roman? The lighting bolt and all that Germanic mumbo jumbo they crapped out. So if an American fascist reaches past their giant library of American shit that is fascist and stretches for some MEIN FUHRER I CAN VALK shit you know it’s a dog whistle. You know they are doing their nazi larp dance for their little Nazi audience.
I think someone using a fasces probably also knows where they come from, their modern history, and tend what they represent
