Funny comment but in all seriousness, I am generally opposed to taking and treading regardless of the perpetrator. So I don't find these slogans to be that objectionable.
This is like making the Black Lives Matter/All Lives Matter argument, or arguing with "it's okay to be white"[0]. It is foolish to argue with a slogan that is designed to be as agreeable as possible. You are fighting in the motte.

- rektide 4y agoI dont get the sense that the "dont tread on me" folk are interested in balanced or nuanced opions about what constitutes treading. It's modern resurgency seemed clearly stemmed in an anti-any-government tea-partyism, seems like a rejectionist Thatcheristic "there is no such thing as society" view. It's insulting, gross & incredibly hostile naivety to many to treat our union as bad, to practice deliberately against it.
