Lol, I swear I posted mine at least slightly before yours. I was looking up an image of the original hat to reply to another user in that thread when I saw our joke.

And besides...

*But you can have half the upvotes this post received if you feel wronged.

Naw it's okay, you can keep the upvotes lol, it was just one of those deer-in-headlights wait a minute moments. Had you actually nabbed the meme from me, it would have been an honor. It's not every day your memes get reposted.

A little secret for you: I didn't make the hat of course but I did steal the image by cropping it out of another one. The margins around the outside looked nearly identical at first and that's what got me.

I read this like the closing lines from Hang On To Your Life by the Guess Who

This looks like a hat for Early Cuyler.

FYI the people who run that site are fairly alt-right chud - not like “your local HVAC guy has problematic opinions” chud, but “unusual obsession with Rhodeisa” and “unapologetically collaborates with apartheid South Africa era government goons” chud.

African decolonization is a really interesting portion of Cold War history, but tbh the Congo, Angola, or Eritrea are more interesting than ‘those brave white men defending civilization’ narrative that are baked into minority rule states
