Rubber ducks are definitely a jeep thing, keep an eye out and look at the dashboard of jeeps you see, odds are it won't be long until you see some ducks. It's the same thing with bikers and gremlin bells. But this example is extreme enough to almost definitely be satire.
Totally in agreement, and I've left comments here before saying that the left needs to do as much. Maga got it in their heads that they're the "true" Americans. The silent majority. They're ignorant, and seeing all those stars and stripes in the crowds I think really drives down that point "No, we are real Americans, and we're fucking fed up". Compare these photos to the Jan 6 photos, which crowd looks like the real Americans?
Yeah, for that reason I really struggle to imagine an actually stable communist state. It's like balancing a top without spinning it, and even if you manage that, expecting that to be a permanent solution.
I wrap my head around that by thinking of communism as the limit of socialism. It doesn't/can't actually exist because greedy people will always exist to steal power from their neighbors, but a socialist society can approach it.
Isn't this a plot point in The Kingsman?
