@bud_t I mean, it's pretty all in on one thing...And if an American ham was going to pick a single theme for a card to send all over the world that sums up 250 years of AMERICA, I suppose they made a good choice.But oy, what a choice.

@IrrationalMethod @bud_t At least those aren't Russian military assets? LOL.

@bud_t @IrrationalMethod It does say something to send something overseas which is blatant patriotic military jingoism, lol. I suppose those must be collectible in Russia or whatever, lol.

@ai6yr @IrrationalMethod that fact that this ham is sharing that card all over the world makes me kinda sick, tbh. It makes so much of the world just laugh at or hate us. I need to re-do my card to make it message some progressive stuff, not just RF. Maybe I'll add in some icons about education and healthcare or something. In addition to a human rights statement.Surprisingly, I have never been trolled on QRZ for adding my pronouns and pronoun statement to by bio.

@bud_t @IrrationalMethod I think a lot of these people with the blatantly patriotic cards are not aware of this, they are just sucking down the Fox News propaganda and don't even realize it.

@khm @ai6yr @bud_t Oh jeez, I just noticed how terrible the flag on the bottom is. That's a lot of stars.

1000% slop. not only is the flag the eagle holding some kind of 2-D hypercube flag, but it's got the Gemini star in the bottom right corner, partially obscuring the idiotic logo. that's why the "USA 250" oval is crooked and the text is unaligned.CC: @IrrationalMethod@social.coop @bud_t@m.ai6yr.org

@khm @ai6yr @IrrationalMethod these are probably the same people who wear USA flag underwear and bikinis, totally desecrating the flag.

yeah the easiest way to tell nationalists apart from patriots is the former treat the country like a football team and the latter treat it like their homeCC: @ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org @IrrationalMethod@social.coop
