So many communities use little subtle symbols and stickers and such to help identify each other in public.
For instance, those of us in the BDSM/kink community can pretty easily recognize the triskelion (looks kinda like a yin/yang except has three droplet shapes inside the circle instead of two, is also usually black and white) if we see a sticker like that on a laptop. Most normies would have no idea what that means though.
Are there ways we can sort of identify each other in public that is subtle and not very obvious? A hammer and sickle sticker or Soviet/Chinese flag (or really any red flag with gold stars that looks remotely Communist) on our laptop would draw a lot of unwanted attention if we are just trying to chill in a cafe or some shit.
It’d be nice to know occasionally if I had allies in the same room every now and then, shit’s lonely.
I said this on another thread, but I’ve had a hammer and sickle on my car and a pin that I wear for a year now. No unwanted attention, or even comments, really, outside of a glance or two. Most of these glances seemed to be out of confusion than anything else.
Perhaps I’m an anomaly, but I live in a purple state in the US and see alot of people due to my job, so if anywhere were to give me shit for it, I’d think it’d be here. Perfect mix of libshits and fascists (why am I saying the same thing twice).
I guess my reasoning behind being so open is that if we don’t even want to openly identify as communists, how can we expect ourselves to organize and make actual noise? A simple gesture like that seems like a pretty easy and safe thing to identify others and, if the other is so inclined to start shit talking, dunk on fascists. Maybe I’m totally wrong and risking my life in good Ole Amerikkka though.
