Hmm, Google's just giving me the sun cross, astrological symbol of Earth.

Don't y'all realize we're all mass-murdering immortal demi-gods, hell-bent on destruction, chaos and mayhem, drunk with power and wealthier than entire systems? In the past ten years we've had to have killed billions, maybe even trillions; via missions, incursions, PVP...all those ships and structures teemed with humanity (the squishy, non-immortal kind), even capsuleer ships have crews.

In a way, we're in good company with Stalin and Mao, and perhaps the Red Star is a more fitting symbol for us capsuleers than anything else.

Frogblast the Vent Core! When the W'rkncacnter came, Pthia was killed, and Yrro in anger, flung the W'rkncacnter into the sun. The sun burned them, but they swam on its surface.

Its not the red star that bothers me.

Its the fact that we are 4000 years in the future and *this* is the best fashion has to offer? I can get that at the local junk, clothing bin.

I expect that we will soon be seeing red stars more often now that the plans of the Arch-Communist Reagan and his Marx inspired policy of trickle down economics are finally coming to fruition. I did not believe that Comrade Gorbachev was correct when he said that Reagan had enough talent to play a Capitalist, "No" I said, "no one will every believe a famous Hollywood actor could be a Conservative." Luckily I was over ruled and Comrade Putin's plan was put into effect and now, 30 years later, I get to see the demise of the western capitalism and the rise of Communist China! ALL HAIL THE STATE!!! GLORY TO THE MOTHERLAND!!! HAIL REAGAN, THE PEOPLE'S HERO!!!

All of these quite the opposite of freedom and brotherhood.


Feel free to reprocess this propagandistic T-shirt in enraged disgust.
Also please make petition to change Flag of California, because it's clearly symbolizes vicious communist bear marching on green 'Murican soil under evil communist Red Star. This is unacceptable, comrade!

This.

Beat me to it Sarmatiko, well done.

Speaking of sublime. I wonder what message THEY are imprinting on you every time you get a gold star!

edit: I was typing gibberish so I stumbled out to the kitchen with great effort and made me this nice hat out of tinfoil. Once more my thoughts are my own but now I fear for my safety!

I kill kittens, and puppies and bunnies. I maim toddlers and teens and then more.

Anyway, I hope the OP doesnt decide to unsub over a T-shirt, that would be a tremendous loss to our community.

So I just logged in to add a couple skills to the queue real quick, when I noticed a bunch of "gifts" that needed to be redeemed.

Amongst these gifts : Men's 'Red Star' T-shirt

This in itself was kinda amusing, but what was completely hilarious was the description: " Stand out in a crowd with this crisp, elegant design, (...) while simultaneously having it send a stark message of the celebration of freedom and brotherhood. (...)"

...


Can I have your shirt?

Comrades! No need for ideological conflicts. We're all citizens of our glorious mother land EVE. We are in a time of celebration for our dear leaders at CCCP...I mean CCP ten years ago had a vision. A future vision so glorious we can not even begin to understand!
Comrades! Lets put aside our differences and stay united under the banner of CCP Games as we march another ten years towards a bright and glorious future!
