Supposedly it’s a symbol of solidarity. It has been used by unions, “civil rights” leaders, and communists alike.

It’s a threat.

It’s the last thing you will ever see if you cross them.

They stole it from old Marxist propaganda. Makes sense.

As are the fasces, ironically.

wondering what all of your thots on this banner might also mean!!

It means that they would punch you in the face if they could get away with it.

Prepare, because that day is not far off.

The company appears to be “TIMBUK2” and they make bike messenger bags and backpacks, etc.

I love how they promote “manufactured” in San Fran with the raised fist (???).......but they don’t exactly mention the factories in China and Indonesia and Vietnam also making backpacks.....
