Very nice bird, but honestly - I don't share your affinity for the rifle. It doesn't represent self-defense any more (the enemies of our liberty have aircraft carriers and nukes) and it will drive people away. A pitchfork or a
sabot are just as useful against an
airstrike, and make for a better symbol of resistance. The core of Anarcho-Capitalism is non-aggression (which does require the right of self-defense), while people have been brainwashed to think of it as an "assault" rifle. Then again, no one would put a bulletproof vest and a "
less-lethal weapon" on their flag / avatar.
And doesn't "
ama-gi" literally mean "return [ownership of a slave back] to his mother"? I take a number of issues with that. If that slave's slavery was forced upon him, then his new condition is no different than that of a rape victim after her rapist is done with her - he still requires justice for the violations of his rights. And if he was an indentured servant, that is if he signed himself into a situation that some would find similar to slavery
voluntarily, then it's an issue not of liberty but of personal responsibility. And, while I believe in parents' rights, I also believe in emancipation of minors (through a legal process or automatically at a reasonable age), so "return to mother" may not be exactly the same as restoration of an adult's right to self-ownership.
What the fuck would an anarcho-capitalist want a flag for? |
Like many of my threads, it just asks a hypothetical question. I'm not encouraging everyone to fly a flag or even use an avatar, I was just encouraging the people who are interested to brainstorm the design possibilities within
a given aesthetic context.
