For those who only see bayonets:

The imagery is pretty inspired…

I’ve volunteered for election work before. It’s actually quite easy in terms of labor required (triggered my social anxiety something fierce, but so does any ‘front desk’ work), and it’s nice to know you’re doing your civic duty. In my area, they’re always in need of more volunteers. We also got paid.
Hmm, but the Social Democratic Party of Germany lost to the Nazis in 1932… 🤔
I think part of the problem is people are still treating maga people like they just have a difference of opinion. The Republican party is not okay.
If you ever wondered what you would have done in the 1930s when the Nazis were coming to power, now you know.
Watch it from afar in a different country? Sounds about right
What’s the black flag?
I had to look it up, too. From Wikipedia, it’s a white nationalism flag.
This white power cross is a popular symbol amongst Europe’s hardcore Nazis. It is molded after the Celtic cross, seeking to make an heritage issue of it.
Edit: links are hard.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:White\_Nationalism\_flag\_(black).svgI’m Welsh, dad did the family tree, goes back a proper long time, so probably a Celt. They’re not my people, they can get in the sea.
Yep, same here.
I thought it was the crosshairs of a scope!

Wtf one more reason to hate Nazis. I actually like that symbol it looks cool >:(
A version of the Celtic Cross used by white supremacists.
What’s with the civil war bayonet?
*Huh it has a tube instead of a handle https://img-aws.ehowcdn.com/877x500p/cpi.studiod.com/www_ehow_com/i.ehow.com/images/a05/0p/c7/identify-civil-war-bayonets-1.2-800x800.jpg?type=webp
Didn’t even notice the bayonets were era specific - nice detail!
Good thing we have the FBI hunting down “checks notes” Antifa posts like this one.
At first I thought it was propaganda written by MAGAs because of the colors, I was really confused
What is American Iron Front?
Never heard of them before myself. If we assume for the moment that they have accurately portrayed themselves on their website:
The American Iron Front is a network of Americans participating in direct action to counter the fascist and anti-democracy agenda perpetuated by groups and individuals in the United States. This agenda is being perpetuated by mainstream parties and fringe groups alike through misinformation, pseudo-patriotism, and weaponization of the law to disenfranchise voters, women, minorities, and those that oppose their bigoted agenda. They are actively recruiting in the cities and towns of America and radicalizing recruits online.
Our goal is to stand as a direct counterpoint to the nationalism of the alt-right and its corruption of American values by building solidarity, unity, and common defense of the Constitution.

Edit: Based on imagery alone (see wikipedia page), I would guess the organization is inspired by this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Front
The Iron Front (German: Eiserne Front) was a German paramilitary organization in the Weimar Republic which consisted of social democrats, trade unionists, and democratic socialists. Its main goal was to defend democratic socialism and liberal democracy against totalitarian ideologies on the far-right and far-left. The Iron Front chiefly opposed the Sturmabteilung (SA) wing of the Nazi Party and the Antifaschistische Aktion wing of the Communist Party of Germany.[1] Formally independent, it was intimately associated with the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD). The Three Arrows, originally designed for the Iron Front, became a well-known social democratic symbol representing resistance against monarchism, Nazism, and Marxism-Leninism during the parliamentary elections in November 1932. The Three Arrows were later adopted by the SPD itself.[2]
cool but not really a meme…
and who uses bayonets anymore?We still have them with our equipment in the Canadian Forces
uses
Only the Marines anymore, I think. The US Army abandoned mandatory bayonet training a while ago.
I think propaganda posters are close enough
they’re not
Yep they all have grenade launchers
*Most militaries
uses, not still has them for parades…
most militaries still have some horses tooYes, uses. The British Army had multiple successful bayonet charges in Afghan. Every soldier is trained to use them in combat. Many other countries are similar.
