It seems every day I log onto leddit, every single city sub is infested with these vampires gaslighting comment sections about M4A being unpopular, tenants rights being bad, Bidenposting, and any other bad faith take you can imagine. They've taken over that piece of shit of a website and it's sickening to see the only remaining useful parts of Reddit fall prey to their bullshit.

      It's a good symbol, but we're not just gonna completely change the meaning. I don't think that would be ideal, anyway. Imagine you see someone with an iron front symbol and you genuinely have no idea whether they're explicitly anti-communist because the symbol has been co-opted so much. Why would we want that situation to come about?

        I think most people who use three arrows are already not anti-communist. At least, that's been my experience in soccer circles after the Iron Front ban in MLS last year.

      Unless…

      Holy shit, I always assumed that is what the symbols reflected. Fascism, Monarchy, and Capital. Luckily this post sent me down the rabbit hole and got me educated. I will not be using this symbol.

        I think I like the idea of flipping the bottom arrow to be clearer about using it.
