I do like the idea of capitalisms colour being yellow.
This is far too orange to be appropriate however.
"Gold" (that orange-y yellow), as well as regular yellow, is historically the color associated with liberalism (as in capitalism).
I think it should be purple. Historically, that was the color of the royalty and the wealthy
Libertarians do often wear gold colored ties to visually indicate their political leanings.
It's gold-like, which seems congruent to me. Yellow by itself doesn't say too much about capitalism, maybe anarcho-capitalism, but not capitalism as a whole.
That's where my mind was at but didn't want to directly reference actual propaganda. anarchy and capitalism are mutually exclusive.
@jjjalljs@ttrpg.network got the right idea. yellow = cowardice.
What I think is that the symbol has to be credible, it has to make you think "Yes, this could definitely be the symbol of capitalism if they didn't feel the slightest hint of shame".
That's why I think this is perfect as it is. I see it clearly being posted on 4chan by an anon presenting it as a symbol of the capital of kekistan or some shit like that.
I think a credible concept would be far more Roman fascism than lol Nazis, it does feel like a 4chan meme it that regard.
Yellow is also in some contexts the color of cowardice, which seems appropriate
The orange version actually matches pretty nicely with the world's current political dumpsterfire.
Agreed. Orange is more of a fascism kind of color.
Why yellow over red or green?
Red is already taken, and green implies environmentalism.
Cause it's piss
It's the favorite color of ancaps
