one of his former employees, Lauren Bousfield, has alleged that he fired her for coming out as trans

it's not relevant to this post obviously but I think people should know about that

 

lord knows chuds and zionists are some of the most violent, unhinged people on the planet and I'm sure the threats against him have increased tenfold since the primary. please stay safe out there Zohran

yeah some of those folks be thinking of children a little too much

meanwhile there's a lot of work that needs doing that is not being done. maybe people wouldn't be so "anti-work" if their work meaningfully contributed to society and afforded them a decent standard of living

oh yeah it's very similar to the top left one, like they started with that and just cut some notches out of it

ok I get that the Ukraine thing was a reach but it was the combination of yellow and green in those exact shades that immediately made me think of zelensky-pain

I think the trick is to use more rounded and curved shapes instead of hard angles

for example, I wouldn't tend to think "fascism" when looking at a traditional triskele

but contrast that with the nazi versions of the triskele: (CW for nazi hate symbols)

actually that 2nd one is pretty similar to the shoe logo, hmmm

I wouldn't have mentioned Ukraine if it was just green, it's the combination of yellow-on-military green that I found very reminiscent of that shirt Zelensky is always wearing. maybe a stretch but I feel like whoever designed this was inspired by Ukrainian military wear, intentionally or not. & I wouldn't say everything from Ukraine is fascist but their military has certainly aligned itself with neo-nazis

it was really the symbol that felt fashy to me more than anything though. hard geometric lines and rotational symmetry will always make me think of nazi symbols. like "copy my homework but don't make it too obvious" but with a swastika

gamecube logo is innocent (though, Nintendo is not)

and yeah this isn't an actual fascist symbol, it's just giving that vibe

granted my only exposure to this clown is via the Hasan and Sam Seder "debates" but I genuinely can not understand how this guy has fans. did he used to be a completely different person or something?

chuds mispronouncing Iran is so funny because it's not even consistent. they call the country "EYE RAN" but then they call Iranians "uh-rain-ians". mfer you just changed both syllables and it's still wrong

came here to say this, pretty much exactly what OP is asking for. it's a product that's been on the market unchanged since 1991 because it's industry standard

the only drawback is that the cord is not detachable, and there is only a coiled option. some people even make detachable cable mods and sell them. I don't know why Sony doesn't do this themselves, or at least offer a straight cable version

 

- originally I had the text read "Commiefornia" or "Commiefornia Republic" but that's too meme-y; I wanted an unironic take on what the flag of a hypothetical communist state of California would look like

- changed the white to gold because it's the golden state, also communism (duh)

- I just copied the red and gold hues from China's flag because they look good together, but that might be too derivative

- The hammer and sickle is more akin to the Soviet version, I just grabbed an svg from the internet

- changed the bear's dark brown to black and the light brown to a different dark brown. looks sicker that way. also made the text black

- simplified the grass patch to be one solid color because it's cleaner

as a bonus here's my original hand-drawn "Commiefornia" sketch. I was too lazy to detail the bear but I liked it enough to create the vector version seen above
