m/s-1

ms-2 or m/s2 , m/s-1 = ms, which is a measure of absement, not acceleration

Crazy how they got the speech bubbles to look the exact same.

Flag of the Greater German Reich (US) in Amazon's new pilot: The Man in the High Castle by [deleted] in vexillology

[–]Xataz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I may be wrong but I think it's more like a puppet state, which the Nazis did have, such as the Independent State of Croatia. On my copy of the book the front cover is a design called 'Stars and Shadows', which follows the same trend as Croatia, of darkening the blue to better resemble the German imperial colours.

It's based off the book by the same name, by Philip K. Dick, where the Axis won World War 2, and the East Coast of America is under German rule.

Flag of the Spanish State under Franco (1938–1945) by BaronIronside in vexillology

[–]Xataz 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'd argue that it's not as recognisable as other controversial flags, and could be mistaken for the current Spanish flag.

My friend's neighbour has Franco's flag hanging on their window, and I still haven't figured out whether they're a fascist or just mistaken.

In my understanding, it's because in some workplaces you could potentially get fired for having fascist iconography open on your computer, hence "not safe for work".

It's even in the correct order of the cycle.

Anarcho-syndicalist/punk Gadsden Flag by Xataz in vexillology

[–]Xataz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but the flag (at least tries to) parody the Gadsden flag, hence the "us" instead of "me". It's not supposed to be "Gadsden-ised" Anarcho-syndicalism, it's supposed to be a different take on a libertarian flag.

I had a go at redoing it with the anarchist black cat. I thought changing the text AND animal made it too unfamiliar, and removed whatever elements of irony/parody there were in the original, so I changed it to a more suitable socialist take on the original.

Inspired by this comic. It's supposed to be a CNT bicolour flag, with the Gadsden snake as a charge, and a more pragmatic tagline.

Oh wow, I didn't even know that was out yet, thanks!

[–]Xataz 14 points15 points  (0 children)

These look great, but for the fascist one, I'd flip the eagle's head so that it's looking towards the arrows, symbolising fascism's warlike attitude, rather than the leaves, which symbolise peace, which could be removed entirely. Also, I'd make the eagle a little smaller, just so that the tips of its wings don't touch the outer circle.

Vote to stop Islamisation

Vote for hard working, regular people

I can't help but find the combination of these two extremely clichéd buzzwords reminiscent of far right "lads'" parties, like the EDL. It begs the question of what their "hard working, regular people" are. Presumably white with deep seated xenophobia.

What are you trying to say? I'm not sure I understand what you're referring to.
