    I’m not sure how it ever could have been a socialist or progressive symbol.

    Where did I say it could have been a socialist or a progressive symbol?

          “ I’m still salty that fascists stole the fasces tbh”

          Implies that PugJesus would have wanted to use the symbol to describe their ideology. And since PugJesus is on this community you can be pretty sure they are a leftist of some sort.

            I don’t think that I would want it to describe my ideology, but I would like to be able to see it without thinking “Goddamn fascists, the lowest of all scum”, considering its long history without fascism. Sadly, the fascists have taken that from all of us.

            I think you took it one step too far… For example, I can say that I’m salty at the Nazis for stealing the swastika (which is true, btw, that shit pisses me off) without being a Buddhist or whatever
