Hoplite helmets are an ancient greek style of combat helmet.
And the 'Moron Labe' is a (intentional?) misspelling of "Molon Labe" (ancient greek) which roughly translates to "Come and take them".
All part of their persecution fetish.
The Greek helmet thing being relevant for both the militarist aspect and dogwhistling Western cultural supremacy.
3% meaning the weird idea that only 3% of the colonial American population took up arms in the Revolutionary War so it doesn't matter how unpopular your unhinged fascistic ideas are you're the good guy.
First off, it's wrong, second off, it's annoying that all the violent revolutionaries are both blisteringly incompetent and on the wrong side.
This.
Because if someone makes a suggestion online that maybe some rich assholes need to be clapped, they get dogpiled before they get banned. Rightoids stick together no matter how bad their ideas are, but leftists have to pick everything apart before declaring that it's impossible and the corporations have already won.
It's incredibly easy to disrupt the people in charge, but everyone wants to protest peacefully, protest the way the cops want you to, but nobody wants to actually do something.
Protest the way the cops want you to, then punish you for doing, mind you.
Weird how that doesn't happen when the protestors are open carrying.
I've been trying to point that out. It's not because the armed people are on the same side as the cops, it's because they are armed.
