Who is the snake shirt guy? And is that an Italian fascist on his side?
Silence, exile, and cunning.

The snake references the historic Gadsden flag a symbol adopted by the extreme right of late years.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gadsden_flag
The battle axe with the bound fasces handle is Roman iconography used on American currency last century.
The small sticks (fasces ) symbolise strength through unity- many small weak sticks becoming strong when bound together ( by the fascist authoritarian Party ).
Presumably also adopted by right extremists.

Re: Oh, You Internet.
fasces in its oldest meaning represents the jursdiction/law/magistrate. In the 20st century it became a symbol of fasciscm. The comic is ambigous in this point. Both interpretations make sense.nemo wrote: ↑Wed May 04, 2022 5:01 pmThe battle axe with the bound fasces handle is Roman iconography used on American currency last century.Who is the snake shirt guy?
