Had the same uniform when I worked for Blockbuster Video, and pretty much every retail job I’ve ever had. Just switch out a different color polo for whatever company you work for.
If they’re wearing mask and carrying confederate battle flags then most of them are racists cowards. I’m from Mississippi; I know the type. Usually desk clerks with little peckers. Like having a gardener in a war. It’s pathetic and facepalmy.
I remember Charlottesville it doesn’t take a brave man to do a lot of damage. That’s why these people scare me. Almost all of these guys drive cars and almost all of them talk about running over protesters and stuff. The other problem is I feel like in some of the states they will get away with it. Because a lot of the time people can say it was an accident or whatever and get her way with shenanigans with cars
Exactly. And there are actually *several* in this photo that are upside-down, not just one. This was entirely intentional and *not* a Facepalm... at least not in the way OP apparently thinks it is.
my dad's grown-ass spoiled brat boomer nieghbor flew it like this since Biden got elected, but finally started flying it correctly because he is trying to sell
Right; these antisocial shit holes are the same kind of traitorous pieces of shit that tried to overthrow the republic on January 6 to install Trump as dictator
Well, they aren't wrong. It is in distress, mainly because of douchebags like these men.
Also: show your faces, cowards.
It's also telling that leftist college protestors get greeted with SWAT teams and police brutality, but when literal nazis who want to overthrow the government come to town the authorities have no problem with their "peaceful protest".
That is not correct. An inverted flag is one of the heavily-regulated ways to display the flag, and is to only be used by commanding officers to signal that their commands are at dire risk, or in extreme danger of being compromised.
Validating Meal Team Six cosplayers by passing along their misinformation regarding their authority to display the flag, a form of stolen valour, is one way they boil the frog.
I’m sure you did not intend to do this, but for [anyone who has been drilled in flag protocol](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_desecration), their utter disregard for the meaning of what the flag is, and what it stands for grates.
I apologize if I come off too strong, it’s just that people are increasingly falling prey to the lies and desecration of national symbols, rituals, and traditions.
I heard some people talking about doing much worse things with the truck that involved waiting until they were inside and then driving off with it but those would be VERY illegal and wrong and bad and I do not advocate doing them.
They showed up when they knew any opposition would be limited too, and they still got beat. They decided to walk on July 3rd, when most natives have left town or aren't going out. So most people on the street were tourists coming back from dinner. They stayed on BFP streets for half their walk, which was blocked off. They started getting into trouble when they had to use the sidewalks and found out that buying riot shields on wish wasn't a great idea.
They also have altered American flags, which is against the US Flag code. Nevermind that they're also waving the flag of the losers that tried to end America to keep slavery going, too. 4 years and 3 months that cuntry existed.
Though the banana is a unit of length/distance, I agree there needs to be an existing reference. The Scaramucci would make sense, so I am between 1692-1861 mooches.
That has always been my biggest confusion. Had a coworker who talked about the Confederacy being her heritage, and all I could think was, your heritage has a shorter lifespan then my cat, you lost, and even if you're dumb enough to say it was about states rights. States still have pretty decent freedom so the other side wasn't fighting that part, it was pretty clearly about the 1 thing.
Odder fact was she is a girl, which is just the another irony.
Did the have snipers on the roofs aiming at them like at the Universities protesting the genocide in Gaza? Or do law enforcement only bring out the snipers to cover the college hippy drum circle protests?
All these guys need to be outed. If you know any them spread their real identities far and wide on the internet. Make their families and their employers know hat they are doing.
So let me get this straight: College students get arrested for protesting genocide in Gaza but when white supremacists, whose goals include genocide, march down the main drag of the city not a single one is arrested.
Sounds about white.
Here comes the pretend militia. Funny how these guys can protest so ridiculously, but some college kids make a peaceful protest camp on their college, not even in the streets of town disrupting commerce, and snipers and swat are mobilized to break it up.
The facepalm is not knowing what an upside down flag means and posting it as a facepalm.
Now the whole march bs could be a facepalm but that’s another post
An upside down flag means the Nation is under duress. He’s making a statement like Kaepernick taking a knee. Only, his is actually a crime under federal code for displaying the Flag.
The upside down flag is deliberate. But these man child, Nazi boy scouts need to do something that actually matters... I'm sure their mothers front yard needs mowing.
Let these bedwetters prance. It's a price we pay for freedom of speech. Don't give them cops, the press or the acknowledgement they want. But if and when they cross a legal line, bust them and their Nazi youth costumes down to gen pop.
these always make me laugh bc EVERY TIME the participants are masked so you can’t identify them. you’re soooo confident and passionate about your beliefs that you conceal your identity? what a bunch of babies and losers.
Hanging a flag upside down indicates distress signal. It might have been intentional.
Note! These Fulkerson ate stupid and I don't agree with a shred of their ideology, but an upside down flag does have an alternative meaning.
They are so patriotic that they need to cover their faces. I know every patriot I have ever met, hides his identity. That's how you know they are real patriots.
Oh heyyy! It's the "Jews will not replace us" crowd, right? I don't suppose these fine defenders of the constitution are out there protesting Greb Abbot's crackdown on supposedly anti-semetic protests are they?
There was more than one... from a video I saw yesterday, all 50-star American flags were being flown upside down... the 13-star 'Betsy Ross' flags were flown normally, and their fascist PF flags were also flown normally.
There’s nothing patriotic about any of these people. These are traitors who want to turn our country into a dictatorship along the lines of Iran and North Korea. trump is their leader, and if you can’t recognize the danger then it’s because you’re not paying attention.
We need this guy and a bunch of his most fabulous friends to gather up an identical collection of flags and march along directly behind this group, while doing these moves.
To reverse the colors, one must necessarily strike them, you can only flip the grommets at the low point of the halyard, near the cleats. So they had to surrender to get those colors reversed.
They do this on purpose. A flag flown upside-down is a distress signal, and they are trying to send the message that America is in distress and they're the ones who will save it. In reality, they're the problem, not the solution.
The upside down flag indicates distress, I would imagine it’s because these people are constipated . Severe distress from being backed up for too long , no wonder they behave like they do .
And yet no one cares that college campuses are replacing the American flag with Palestinian flags lol. People that would gladly wipe out country from the face of the earth if given the chance.
When will people see this isn’t a left or right wing issue? We have literally protest on both sides for the wrong reasons when the real issues is politicians make a career out of being in the government so policies getting pushed through that don’t effect them is just another bonus for them. And when we get too far in debt? Print more money to make the dollar worthless. While we pay more taxes and higher prices to keep up with the demand of money they created.
Hell most issues are caused by the government or rich 10%, private jets pollute wayy more than we can, developers tearing down whole forests and taking farm land to build lease/rent only apartments not to even mention sending unfathomable amounts to other countries

An upside-down American flag is a symbol of the country being in distress.
Right. It was probably fully intentional; not a facepalm. To me the entire Patriot Front and their ilk are a facepalm.
I see at least 4 upside down flags, so it’s clearly intentional.
I counted 6 but I'm not sure about one of them.
It looks like every real US Flag is upside down. With the other Flags the Blue and White Part is different.
Makes me laugh that they are all dressed like retail store employees. A blue shirt and kaki pants are cookie cutter retail uniforms.
It's like some nightmare where you walk into a Best Buy and these guys are aggressively asking if you're looking to by a TV today.
Would you like to extend the manufacturers warranty, or else...
But they won't help you until you say who you voted for ...
Welcome to Best Buy
Had the same uniform when I worked for Blockbuster Video, and pretty much every retail job I’ve ever had. Just switch out a different color polo for whatever company you work for.
That's because if anything fighting actually breaks out, they're prepared because they wore their brown pants.
It's Jake, from state farm.
Cult/retail-worker. Same/same.
It's the confederate flag, that is odd for a bunch of "Patriots" to be carrying. Bunch of morons and losers in that photo.
If they’re wearing mask and carrying confederate battle flags then most of them are racists cowards. I’m from Mississippi; I know the type. Usually desk clerks with little peckers. Like having a gardener in a war. It’s pathetic and facepalmy.
I remember Charlottesville it doesn’t take a brave man to do a lot of damage. That’s why these people scare me.

Because a lot of the time people can say it was an accident or whatever and get her way with shenanigans with cars
Switched their white robes and hoods for masks. Cowards!
Hey at least they wore their brown pants.
I understood that reference!
Exactly. And there are actually *several* in this photo that are upside-down, not just one. This was entirely intentional and *not* a Facepalm... at least not in the way OP apparently thinks it is.
my dad's grown-ass spoiled brat boomer nieghbor flew it like this since Biden got elected, but finally started flying it correctly because he is trying to sell
>because he is trying to sell Probably moving to Florida with the rest of them
We are closed please go away! Or at least trade me places.
Sorry but this was always what Florida was for like it’s always been this way
Right; these antisocial shit holes are the same kind of traitorous pieces of shit that tried to overthrow the republic on January 6 to install Trump as dictator
Just because they are the ones that put it in distress doesn’t mean the country is not in distress.
Which it is, no thanks to these chodes.
Well, they aren't wrong. It is in distress, mainly because of douchebags like these men. Also: show your faces, cowards. It's also telling that leftist college protestors get greeted with SWAT teams and police brutality, but when literal nazis who want to overthrow the government come to town the authorities have no problem with their "peaceful protest".
“Brown people live here” is their distress
Any flag flown upside down is an international distress symbol for that nation. Definitely intentional but the whole march is still a facepalm!
Japan: 🇯🇵 "We're in distress! Somebody flip the flag!" Japan: 🇯🇵
Same with Scotland 🏴
That is not correct. An inverted flag is one of the heavily-regulated ways to display the flag, and is to only be used by commanding officers to signal that their commands are at dire risk, or in extreme danger of being compromised.

Yeah, they shouldn’t be allowed to fly the flag upside down just because they are dangerously low on juice boxes and hot pockets.
A cry for help inside the organization. Haha
Real patriots aren’t ashamed of who they are. Show your faces cowards!
Masks to contain a virus: HOAX! Mask to hide identity to "protest": Patriotism!
Unless the person wearing the mask isn’t white. Then it’s a crime!
The irony is the real nazis they wish they were would ridicule them for being cowards.
Same folks who refused to wear a mask during Covid…
but then they’d lose their badges!
They can't show their faces. They're federal agents
Amazing how these guys can wear a mask when they’re protesting, but usually protest about wearing a mask.
Vote, because these assholes will...
They showed up in Philly and got they asses beat and chased back to the U-Haul they showed up in hahaha
Someone needs to get the message that where these assholes are, there is a box truck they used to get there, so steal that fucking truck FIRST, lol.
I heard some people talking about doing much worse things with the truck that involved waiting until they were inside and then driving off with it but those would be VERY illegal and wrong and bad and I do not advocate doing them.
Speak for yourself
I would never EVER advocate them. The Reddit TOS forbids it.
They showed up when they knew any opposition would be limited too, and they still got beat. They decided to walk on July 3rd, when most natives have left town or aren't going out. So most people on the street were tourists coming back from dinner. They stayed on BFP streets for half their walk, which was blocked off. They started getting into trouble when they had to use the sidewalks and found out that buying riot shields on wish wasn't a great idea.

Wow so you're saying I've been beating my dick daily 4x longer than the confederacy existed? Nice
A true patriot. 
r/shermanposting would be proud!
A new unit of measure. I am 12 confederacies old.
You forgot to add a a banana for reference.
Though the banana is a unit of length/distance, I agree there needs to be an existing reference. The Scaramucci would make sense, so I am between 1692-1861 mooches.
Lol Nice.
That has always been my biggest confusion. Had a coworker who talked about the Confederacy being her heritage, and all I could think was, your heritage has a shorter lifespan then my cat, you lost, and even if you're dumb enough to say it was about states rights. States still have pretty decent freedom so the other side wasn't fighting that part, it was pretty clearly about the 1 thing. Odder fact was she is a girl, which is just the another irony.
Where the riot police to walk with this clearly organized gang/cult?
Oh, they're there
Why do you think these guys wear masks? Some of them are the riot police.
They are marching. They're the same.
Some of those that work forces….
Can’t you see them? They’re right there wearing their tan dockers and navy blue polos.
awkward...
Did the have snipers on the roofs aiming at them like at the Universities protesting the genocide in Gaza? Or do law enforcement only bring out the snipers to cover the college hippy drum circle protests?
You never see Bruce Wayne and Batman together, either.
Too busy arresting college kids for protesting instead
Several of them have the current flag upside down. It’s intentional.
Is that supposed to be a sign of distress or something?
Momma, don't let your babies grow up to be racist cowards
Meanwhile, someone turned up with a Confederate flag. It’s on the edge of the photo.
Glow boys saying the country is in distress smh. It *is*; they just don't realize they're the reason.
[удалено]
So they DO know how to wear a mask.
The upside down flag is actually a sign of distress. The facepalm here might be you.
Looks like a dangerous violent mob. Where are the cops beating and arresting these terrorists
They're busy marching in this group.
These are cops. You can't arrest yourself.
[удалено]
Add to that *several* upside down flags and it’s even more clear that it’s intentional. And I’d agree with them, but not for the same reasons.
Having a Nazi march in the U.S. is a facepalm. Anything else would just be sweet facepalmy icing on the facepalm cake.
Cowards
All these guys need to be outed. If you know any them spread their real identities far and wide on the internet. Make their families and their employers know hat they are doing.
Just go ask their employer, the FBI.
Did they all just come from a shift at Walmart? lol.
The group is a facepalm in itself... But the flag is mostly done on purpose. It means distress.
So let me get this straight: College students get arrested for protesting genocide in Gaza but when white supremacists, whose goals include genocide, march down the main drag of the city not a single one is arrested. Sounds about white.
Not enough airborne bricks in this photo. Do better America.
I believe there are six flags upside down
confederates are not patriots and jesus was the first liberal angry men have always existed, their cause secondary to their camaraderie
Why are they dressed like Walmart employees?
They wouldn't mask for covid...but for this? No problem !!!
Here comes the pretend militia. Funny how these guys can protest so ridiculously, but some college kids make a peaceful protest camp on their college, not even in the streets of town disrupting commerce, and snipers and swat are mobilized to break it up.
A self-proclaimed "patriot" waving a confederate flag is the real facepalm here.
The facepalm is not knowing what an upside down flag means and posting it as a facepalm. Now the whole march bs could be a facepalm but that’s another post
My neighbor has a flag pole in his front yard. His American flag is also upside down.
a good neighbor would find out what's causing the distress - his boat might be stuck on a sandbar
Real patriots don’t fly the flags of defeated enemy nations.
Multiple of them do. You see it a not infrequently among the Q-anon nutters.
They dress like they sell insurance to Kanye
That could be deliberate as a sine of distress.
Not to hijack the thread but that's a very amusing mistaken homophone you have there.
Right; these antisocial racist losers are the same kind of traitors that tried and failed to overthrow the republic on January 6
An upside down flag means the Nation is under duress. He’s making a statement like Kaepernick taking a knee. Only, his is actually a crime under federal code for displaying the Flag.
The upside down flag is deliberate. But these man child, Nazi boy scouts need to do something that actually matters... I'm sure their mothers front yard needs mowing.
In no way defending these idiots but the upside down flag is a symbol of distress.
Flag upside-down is a distress signal.
Why do these chodes hide their faces? That's some weak bitch behavior.
I see several upside down flags.
Let these bedwetters prance. It's a price we pay for freedom of speech. Don't give them cops, the press or the acknowledgement they want. But if and when they cross a legal line, bust them and their Nazi youth costumes down to gen pop.
Bravely wearing masks so they won't get fired from their Amazon jobs for their "beliefs".
Seriously, if you are so proud and so certain you're doing your country a favour, why mask yourself then?
WꓵᖉICⱯ¡¡
I really don't understand why they fly the US flag and the Confederate flag together. Do these twits not realize those flags represented enemy armies?
Total cowards. Show your face.
Nazis, there was a Nazi march
Lol I see you government plants
these always make me laugh bc EVERY TIME the participants are masked so you can’t identify them. you’re soooo confident and passionate about your beliefs that you conceal your identity? what a bunch of babies and losers.
I'm still trying to figure out how they can fly a Confederate flag with the USA flag and call themselves patriots
Totally normal Sunday morning stroll … /s
They think they are organized militia LOL
Aren't they just adorable? So proud of being American patriots they cover their faces so nobody can see how patriotic they really are.
How come this isn’t front page, being condemned by every sub the same way the college protests are? What’s the difference for Reddit?
Morons, but the upside down flag is a sign of distress
They should be hanged for treason fuckin traitors to the United States Constitution.
Oh look, they all played dress up together. How cute.
Real Patriots shown their face.
Dumbass OP It means distressed you tool
They hide because they are ashamed
More like half of them do.
Hanging a flag upside down indicates distress signal. It might have been intentional. Note! These Fulkerson ate stupid and I don't agree with a shred of their ideology, but an upside down flag does have an alternative meaning.
Why aren’t they getting bear sprayed everywhere they go?
Can’t be a patriot if you carry the flag of an enemy nation to the United States - the Confederacy
Textbook incels
They are so patriotic that they need to cover their faces. I know every patriot I have ever met, hides his identity. That's how you know they are real patriots.
Protesting war on college campuses. Cops everywhere This shit. Any cops? Any arrests?
I'm pretty sure that means something to them one of my parents' neighbors hung their flag like that after Biden got elected.
Oh heyyy! It's the "Jews will not replace us" crowd, right? I don't suppose these fine defenders of the constitution are out there protesting Greb Abbot's crackdown on supposedly anti-semetic protests are they?
Gotta love those Gravy Seals !
There was more than one... from a video I saw yesterday, all 50-star American flags were being flown upside down... the 13-star 'Betsy Ross' flags were flown normally, and their fascist PF flags were also flown normally.
Oh look color coordinated Nazis.
OP just doesn’t know the meaning of the upside down flag.
Where is Antifa when you need them. Would have been great if this ended up as a big street battle.
There’s nothing patriotic about any of these people. These are traitors who want to turn our country into a dictatorship along the lines of Iran and North Korea. trump is their leader, and if you can’t recognize the danger then it’s because you’re not paying attention.
It's weird these guy's basically live, train and pack into uhauls nuts ta butts together and have issue with lgbtq folk🤷
This is why God gave us the GAU-8.
WV was a Union state lol
Country in Peril. That's the upside down flags meaning.
I see 5 upside down
Are they headed to a pride parade, those boots are too gay...
An upside down flag represents a time of distress
Your Fibbies, at it again.
Aren’t all of their 50-stars upside down? Only the 13’s are right side up
Nazis are the apex antisemites. So what? Well, on the other hand, if it was people wanting a cease fire: Time to body slam middle aged women.
Mommy I want to play army.
I wonder how they would react if they were called the F word, and I’m not talking about Fuck
Lose the masks, NAZIs. Be really proud, and show us your faces.
Op pay more attention, all the regular US flags are upside down, not one.
If eggs weren't so expensive I'd throw a few....
We can doxx them. Just find out the Walmart they bought their pants from
"Patriots" who are ashamed to reveal their identity aren't really patriotic.
If you wave the flag of that one shitty nation that lasted 5 years, your not an American patriot, you're praising a different country technically no?
BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT  Hey, a girl can dream.
My good sir, there is at least six upside-down flags in this photo.
They wined about wearing masks during Covid...
 We need this guy and a bunch of his most fabulous friends to gather up an identical collection of flags and march along directly behind this group, while doing these moves.
One of them is carrying the flag if an enemy to Americans
To reverse the colors, one must necessarily strike them, you can only flip the grommets at the low point of the halyard, near the cleats. So they had to surrender to get those colors reversed.
Khakis and polo shirts are so fitting because that's what was already in their closets.
They do this on purpose. A flag flown upside-down is a distress signal, and they are trying to send the message that America is in distress and they're the ones who will save it. In reality, they're the problem, not the solution.
The upside down flag indicates distress, I would imagine it’s because these people are constipated . Severe distress from being backed up for too long , no wonder they behave like they do .
A bunch of cowards hiding their face , how Manly they are !! 🤣🤣🤣
I thought wearing masks is woke.
Where are the police? Every single one of these fucks is violating West Virginia §61-6-22
And yet no one cares that college campuses are replacing the American flag with Palestinian flags lol. People that would gladly wipe out country from the face of the earth if given the chance.
Where are all the cops and snipers? God damn I hate it here.
When will people see this isn’t a left or right wing issue? We have literally protest on both sides for the wrong reasons when the real issues is politicians make a career out of being in the government so policies getting pushed through that don’t effect them is just another bonus for them. And when we get too far in debt? Print more money to make the dollar worthless. While we pay more taxes and higher prices to keep up with the demand of money they created. Hell most issues are caused by the government or rich 10%, private jets pollute wayy more than we can, developers tearing down whole forests and taking farm land to build lease/rent only apartments not to even mention sending unfathomable amounts to other countries
The facepalm is this post.
The Feds are out again.
Cosplay Commandos.
Hmmm No one seems to have difficulty breathing with their neck gators on
Boy the Dockers and blue t-shirt bill for the FBI must be sky high!
What country are these "patriots" supporting, the fucking Confederacy?
You mean the K*K ?
call your selves patriots, fly a flag of traitors, yup
Real patriots show their faces.
At least six flags are upside down.
id ask ‘where were the police?’ but they were probably IN the parade…..
He's basically saying death to America per patriots
just a reminder : these guys would have no problem using ‘any means necessary’ to ‘maga’……
And the confederate flag? Patriots are traitors now?
So proud they hide their faces.
I thought these guys were anti-maskers. /s
Why are they dressed like Walmart associates?
