What does it mean now?
I never knew about the origin of the flag but I always see it used by ancaps and other far right groups.
The red and black colors and the black cat arching its back are anarchist symbols.
Anarcho-syndicalism specifically; which is very much anathema to anarcho-capitalism.

That is sad to see the modern use and interpretation of the Gadsden flag. I fly one next to my Pride flag outside my house to piss off the extremist dipshits that drive by.
I dont think its doing what you think its doing... if it means something to you then more power to you. If your only doing it to piss of right wing conservatives... That's probably not what its doing.
What do you think it's doing?
You knew the modern interpretation because you fly it next to your pride flag, but still asked what it means now? Confusing interaction.
I never knew the modern interpretation, I flew it because I interpreted the flag as something that represents individualism. I guess I'll fly my Satanic flag next to it to further signal the idea of individualism to others that drive by my house.
You should do that, if you own any flags and weren't Just Asking Questions.
Care to elaborate what you mean by your comment?
"The person flying this flag has only two great-grandparents."
It means whatever the alt right chodes decide it means at whatever moment you ask them. I've never seen someone fly it that didn't have it right next to a trump flag.
