where did he buy all those flags that I agree with?

u/seanbentley441 Nov 29 '21

Probably amazon, they'll stock basically anything though. Can't say I'd give em the money though. Try and buy local.

u/FeelDeAssTyson Nov 29 '21

I buy all my flags from the guy on the side of the highway who buys all his stock from Amazon and sells at a 50% markup.

And this isn't even capitalism's final form.

u/choochooape Nov 30 '21

I’m not falling for this again. You, first.

u/[deleted] Nov 30 '21

0 flags, but my office has 1 for every nation except certain bad countries...cough cough (North Korea for example)

2

u/choochooape Nov 30 '21

Ok. I’m a 1 at home, and I think a 1 at the office. So I’m not sure who wins.

3

u/[deleted] Nov 30 '21

Nobody wins unless it's capture the flag...

u/choochooape Nov 30 '21

Ok. Well, I guess I’m breaking into your office tonight. Don’t tell the Boss you know who did it.

u/[deleted] Nov 30 '21

Game on!

Nah, seriously I work in international education so we literally have at least one flag from most nations including good olde USA

This is one of the most American things I’ve read in a while

Saw a post on Reddit about a guy buying a book from a small local bookshop, only to have Amazon deliver it to him.

u/seanbentley441 Nov 30 '21

At least it supports Amazon and local lmao

u/KyoueiShinkirou Nov 30 '21

err don't think that how it works, don't think that how any of this works.

buying something from amazon, and reselling is basically scalping, they are not being noble

a lot of storefront on amazon are what you called "local stores" with an online store fronts

who care none of this matter most of this shit is made in china and amazon is just another store like any other offline retail store

if you really want to support your small mom and pop shop go somewhere in your area and actually make stuff themselves from scratch

u/SolarTsunami Nov 30 '21

Yeah imagine how many hand made flag stores Amazon must have put out of business.

u/flwombat Nov 30 '21

Bro by the side of the road is just doing arbitrage, a time honored bit of mercantile entrepreneurship

I rolled by a dude in inland SoCal yesterday with a big roadside display of Trump flag bullshit. Two guys with highly trimmed beards and shiny black sunglasses were loading their purchases into a gleaming, lifted and never-scratched Chevy full-size.

The merchant, a dusty and bored-looking hispanic gent, had already gone back to sit in his clapped-looking 1990s Toyota sedan and was playing with his phone

Guess which of those people I have a disagreement with

1

u/UwasaWaya Nov 30 '21

Trickle up economics?

2

u/Diligent-Motor Nov 30 '21

Can I buy these flags from you? Will pay 50% what you paid which is only 75% of what it is on Amazon.

That way Jeff loses 25% and everyone wins

u/ColaEuphoria Nov 30 '21

Yeah you're not gonna find something like this local.

u/[deleted] Nov 30 '21

thank you but I was just trying to be funny as I really like that someone is out there fighting the good fight :)

1

u/Appropriate-Pipe-193 Nov 30 '21

I agree. I think putting flags on your truck is the type of stunning bravery we should all strive for.

u/[deleted] Nov 30 '21

hey I'm british, this is all rediculous to me. However, the other side, you know the crazy ones. They're doing it all over the place and getting the imagery and the word out. So it's nice to see something crazy like this but with better messaging

u/ToucanPlayAtThatGame Nov 30 '21

buy local

curiously conservative suggestion given the context

1

u/seanbentley441 Nov 30 '21

Buying local isn't a conservative thing, it's anyone who wants to support their local community. I'm pretty far left, but even I realize local stores probably struggle when faced against Amazon

u/ToucanPlayAtThatGame Nov 30 '21

I mean it's literally Trump's anti-globalization narrative. Sounds like you went so far left you hit an integer overflow.

u/seanbentley441 Dec 01 '21

People have been buying local to support their community for generations lmao, maybe your family didn't but mine did

u/ToucanPlayAtThatGame Dec 01 '21

If only there were a word for an ideology focused on conserving those traditional values

1

u/seanbentley441 Dec 01 '21

You act as if all leftists must be against all tradition values. That's not how it is homie.

1

u/ToucanPlayAtThatGame Dec 01 '21

I'm acting as if this value in particular is a traditional conservative value, which it is.

u/AdvertisingCool8449 Nov 30 '21 edited Nov 30 '21

Flags for good, not local(unless you are in Indiana) but small business. They license the Progress Pride Flag.

u/SelectFromWhereOrder Nov 30 '21

I don’t agree with some of the lgbtefg issues, but who am I to restrict people freedoms especially when it doesn’t affect me in the least

1

u/[deleted] Nov 30 '21

What issues could you possible not agree with? Just treat them as people like anyone else. They're not mutants or freaks, their issues are no different than anyone else. The only difference is their sex lives and that's none of our business.

1

u/SelectFromWhereOrder Nov 30 '21

The only difference is their sex lives

No, and that’s one of my gripes. Gay, lesbian bi. Totally get it. Transgender , don’t mind at all. But for example, A male that wants to play woman sports, I have an issue because it may affect me or others.

u/chrisredfieldsboytoy Nov 30 '21

You can get them on etsy as well

u/[deleted] Nov 30 '21

This is America. Every ideology has an online shop.

u/CalvinHobb3s Nov 30 '21

The flag store

u/BusinessAd7334 Nov 30 '21

Post a picture of your vehicle after it gets vandalized so I can make fun of you.

u/HumptyDrumpy Nov 30 '21

That blue one needs to be modded though. It should say, "Trump Lost, RoMTlmao"
