could have gone the rest of my life without knowing that Charlie Kirk walks around all day with a shitty doodoo ass, scratches said shitty doodoo ass with his bare hands and then doesn't wash the shitty doodoo from the hands that he scratched his shitty doodoo ass with

counterpoint: games are also bad, because they are developed by, you guessed it, gamers
(don't take this too seriously, I know there are some good games out there)
and drank the "technology will make everything better bro trust me" kool-aid
ugh same. got caught up in the ridiculous tech-optimism of the early-to-mid 2010s. I thought self-driving cars and VR were the frickin' future. it's hard to imagine now but there was so little public criticism of big tech back then
watching the bombs drop in Baghdad at age 10 was probably my first "are we the baddies" moment. after that I could trace my political development through the punk bands I listened to as a teen. when I liked Green Day I was anti-Bush but not really a leftist, my first exposure to anti-capitalism came from listening to Refused, and then getting into more anarcho-punk bands made me hate cops and the US military but still had "communism bad" brainworms. by my early 20s I had slipped back into being more of a radlib/socdem (Bernie 2016) and like most of you gradually became more of a socialist/communist from there

- originally I had the text read "Commiefornia" or "Commiefornia Republic" but that's too meme-y; I wanted an unironic take on what the flag of a hypothetical communist state of California would look like
- changed the white to gold because it's the golden state, also communism (duh)
- I just copied the red and gold hues from China's flag because they look good together, but that might be too derivative
- The hammer and sickle is more akin to the Soviet version, I just grabbed an svg from the internet
- changed the bear's dark brown to black and the light brown to a different dark brown. looks sicker that way. also made the text black
- simplified the grass patch to be one solid color because it's cleaner
as a bonus here's my original hand-drawn "Commiefornia" sketch. I was too lazy to detail the bear but I liked it enough to create the vector version seen above
