This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Yeah. I know that the "Eagle Displayed" heraldry has been on the American coat of arms since before it became associated with the Nazis, but it's still a little sinister how they seem to be leaning into it as a motif a lot more this year.

It's the ultimate in bulletproof dogwhistles, because literally nobody can judge you for waving an American eagle around, and yet somehow it seems disproportionately popular amongst Neo Nazis...
