thinking about the old Swiss war flag and getting upset and tense
just in general I like the concept of a war flag. actually having to hoist a thing which conveys ‘no more mister nice guy’
only a handful of countries still have them and they’re mostly just sort of ensigns for their military rather than you just change the whole thing over when it’s time to go sicko mode
for instance, Japan has Diet Imperialism
you know what? fuck you *raises my war flag*

one cool thing to do is to Google ‘[your city] FBI SWAT patch’ and investigate the hobbyist graphic design skills of your local fed operators
I’ve been collecting them because they tend to be at once uglier and less overtly fascist than local or state police tactical patches. I haven’t seen a punisher skull yet
often they’re quite boring - ‘this city has a football team,’ ‘here is this city on a map,’ ‘this city has a historical landmark’
