Same reason the rainbow flag is equated to LGBTQ... They adopted it and made it a symbol for their thing. It happens, don't get too invested in symbols (or slogans).
I agree but let me add that right libertarians stole alot of symbolism from socialist libertarians. There is a quote from the guy who coined anarcho capitalism that he "took away the word anarchism from his political enemies".
I'm not sure if "don't treat on me" and the snake were ever used on the left tho and I don't think so. The animal on the left is the cat
I was going to use a much less flattering comparison, but yeah that's exactly it.
Actually the LGBTQ one was stolen from the Rainbow Coalition
