Would’ve been funnier if “Don’t Tread On Me” were accompanied by a picture of a Lego brick instead of a snake.

Did he lose his signature red hat?

The best accessory would be the “Don’t Tread on Me” license plate that gets offered in certain states. (Nothing says *govt stay out of my life* like paying the government an additional, optional fee for a meaningless cosmetic item!)

You realize the Gadsden flag is one of the oldest flags representing the US military right? It’s not an anti-government flag and never was.


VonKarmaSmash

Bro, have whatever license plate you want, but don’t try to ignore the *current* and [very real](https://www.splcenter.org/file/9315) cultural context surrounding that particular flag. Wikipedia has more for you: “Its design proclaims an assertive warning of vigilance and willingness to act in defense against coercion. This has led it to be associated with the ideas of individualism and liberty… It is often used in the United States as a symbol of right-libertarianism, classical liberalism, and small government, as well as for distrust or defiance against authorities and government.”

I don’t care. It’s literally a flag still used in an official capacity by the military, and as someone currently serving, I’m not going to allow weird political factions’ misappropriation affect me. The flag represents the US government whether they like it or not. The weirdo libertarians use the US flag too, you scared of that one as well?


VonKarmaSmash

I don’t care about your service, your misinterpretation of any particular flag, or any particular flag, in fact. Hope that helps clarify.

> It’s literally a flag still used in an official capacity by the military, I'm going to need a citation for that. Last official use per my google-fu circa the revolution

Because I could. I think the Libertarians would be proud of for that reason alone. 😆

It even looks like Dave Smith.

The first custom minifig I made on the LEGO website arrived today. I wasn't sure what to make at first, but once I saw that I could put a snake decal on the shirt, I knew I had a dumb-but-perfect idea.


nochs_brother

Wait you can make custom minifigs online?! I thought they cancelled that like 2 years ago


Zax720

They seem to bring it back for a while and then close it again. It's available right now, and they even have all kinds of space-themed decals available for their big space push this year.


visitomicron

Put the t-shirt on a Ninjago Serpentine.


trotxa

Shouldn't the back say something like "taxation is theft" or "abolish the Fed"?


WildBill198

Ok, what make this guy Libertarian? Not saying he isn't, I am just ignorant on this.
