the erroneous claim that "the active forces in the field against the King's tyranny never amounted to more than 3% of the colonists" during the American Revolution.
Yeah, only three percent of American's in the future USA managed to fight off one of the most competent armies in the world at the time. Ok, tell me how.
My only experience with it from maybe 2015 was, "It's okay to be white." from the kek crowd which was intended to troll people into saying it's not okay to be white. Still, a white-centeic symbol.
Maybe, but keep in mind this isn't some cohesive group, but a large array of small factions with their own identity. The need to identify themselves to each and how changes constantly when a symbol becomes too well known.
