    I like to jokingly describe my everyday attire as “surplus chic”, because the stuff lasts like decades and I need lots of pockets. I feel self conscious sometimes that I might be mistaken for some fashy.

    But you know what? We concede WAY too much ground to these bullying troglodytes. Off-the-shelf clothes shouldn’t be enough to be an obvious “uniform.”

    Don’t let these bastards take your khakis. “We” already let them take the flag, and patriotism, and the second amendment conversation, and Nordic / Viking symbology for some frickin reason.

    We didn’t fight hard enough for it, just said “Ah well we’re the opposite of those things, please don’t take those too.”

    I’m reminded of an anecdote that makes me laugh every time. When my wife was in high school she was stopped for wearing gloves (fashiony, Hot Topic kinda things). “Gloves are commonly worn by gangs.” They said. She responded:

    “Well, hope gangs don’t start wearing pants any time soon!”

    XD

    We need that attitude. Some friggin proudboys wanna take the symbol of the flag our forefathers died over? They think because they put some nazis in the whitehouse and shit on senators’ desks we’re gonna give up our tactical wear and doorkicking boots? Like we should be afraid to rock red white and blue because we might be mistaken for one of them?!

    They should be worried they might accidentally be mistaken for some actual damn Americans. Who is the real U.S.A? If I recall correctly the “U” comes from the UNION winning that particular dispute.

    We should be rocking that Gadsten flag, warning them not to tread upon us.

    They want to co-opt khakis, polos, even entire colors? We should adopt it harder.

    Good luck telling who’s in their stupid goon squads. They need to be reminded that hate hath no friends.

    TL;DR: Wanna take our country’s freedom, our rights, our flag, our guns, pickup trucks, cowboy hats if you’re into that kinda thing, our freakin’ KHAKIS?!

    Molṑn fuckin’ labé, pendejos.

      I was at one protest where a wannabe Nazi skidmark with a rune-covered shirt (which I’m sure he can’t read) was on the incel side and a more androgynous, actually-practicing Norse pagan was on the good side.

      No Nazis in Valhalla. Yes, that includes you, Kash Patel.
