I swear I'm not trying to be offensive here, but I am trying to understand.
Ok... Beyond signaling a tribal affiliation with party, what do things like Campaign hats and stickers accomplish? What do people hope accomplish by wearing them?
I've got bumper stickers and stuff just to tell the world a little bit what I like, or like with the 7 pointed star send a signal to other otherkin. We're a small community so I figure, fly a flag and find an ally.
Is it like that?
@NiveusLepus I think it's trying to activate the ... oh hell, what is it called, the advertisement strategy where you say "all of these people enjoy it, you should too!" Perhaps if enough people are all wearing the same hats, that might convince others to join them.
.... bandwagon, that's the word.
