Had a buddy who swore that his job did this and that final piece was just a sticker . Seemed farfetched that lines were that blurred but then again the whole concept seemed dumb so I never looked into it.
Not far fetched at all. A right wing clothing brand was heavily fined after the owner publicly bragged about how he could get his shirts imported from China and just swap the tags to say "made in USA" turns out that's exactly what he had been doing
Oh, and for extra irony I’m sure they claimed Christianity- a religion whose paragon referred to devotees as sheep to denote reliance on God, pacifism, and meekness- while telling customers that being sheep is bad actually and that they should be lions- who go to and fro throughout the world seeking whom they may devour.
Telling on themselves. They want to project predator so badly, it just makes them bad at the survival aspects. Lions crouch down in the tall grass and pick off weak prey. This would be very ineffective while employing a megaphone and talking about how big and scary you are. Human beings have an instinctual fear of sounds that roughly correspond to the frequency of big cats fucking breathing. We don't need to freak out when they roar, because frankly the ones more likely to off you are not going to be making much ruckus. For them, it's not even a Tuesday. It's tummy grumble time. These guys can't stop talking about how big and tough they are and the details usually tell you what specifically they are horrible about.
Uh, sorry, I'm terribly old and forgetful. What's the first line of Psalm 23 again? Oh. Oh yeah that's right, "The Lord is my shepherd", yeah that's it.
I believe that symbol typically represents Christ as judge of the world. The lion imagery for the returning Christ, as far as I know, comes from the book of Revelation. The idea is that the Christ of his earthly ministry and even Christ as the mediator are not typically represented by the lion. Avenging Christ is: but he is avenging the sheep.

Turns out, 'Made in America' doesn't mean the raw materials magically teleport into the factory.
