Anyone know what stars the top left corner of the nato compass star represent?
Top right is EU, bottom right is aus/nz, bottom left korea, taiwan and i presume japan? Extra chevrons are for ukraine and hongkong.
Incidentally the southern cross, used here to represent the white bastions in asia is often used as a nationalist icon in australia. It's popularity as a tattoo for the far right have earned it the nickname: the aussie swazi (ozi swozi) since it's like an australian swastika.
Am I not supposed to blindly follow a group that exists for the sole purpose of exploitation on behalf of like a dozen billionaires a single trillionaire and their toadies?
How are “American military base 1”, “American military base 2”, “American military base 3”, “American military base 4” and “American military base 5” “US Imperialism”? Seriously?
the only people who make an ideology this much their personality are conservatoids with their trump brand socks and underwear and steaks and watches and phone and framed holographic print of a signed portrait of Trump hanging higher on their wall than the cross they pretend to carry.
Yeah i presume that posting a flag for liberal bootlickers in an anarchist shitposting community was meant to highlight the cringe.
Pledging allegiance to any flag is total bootlicker behaviour. And while this flag centers queer and minority representation, it also includes all the nations that comprise the american empire.

Duly noted, thanks for saying so. I didn't know that.

I'd imagine they're just american flag stars?
Hegar@fedia.io · 1 pts · 74d
But one of them is smaller and has a little tail.

This needs to be salted, burnt, and desecrated

American stripes is a major stain on this.

Could be Cuba, USA are not the only one with those stripes
Sunshine@piefed.ca · 4 pts · 76d

Well can't be USA, only 9 stripes, USA has 15
Hegar@fedia.io · 3 pts · 75d
No flag that i can remember or find has 5 red/4 white.
That's clearly meant to be USA stripes (malaysia, liberia less likely in context) just they didn't check how many stripes.
Quill7513@slrpnk.net · 1 pts · 75d
15?
gwl@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 2 pts · 75d
Wait, was it 13? I only remember the stripes represent the first founding states and the 50 represents all of the states
I dunno, I ain't American
Quill7513@slrpnk.net · 1 pts · 75d
yeah. 13. i thought this was a reference i didn't understand haha. it's one stripe for each colony of the original articles of confederation
MajorSauce@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 74d
Could be clown stripes?

Ideally, scrutinizing a flag to make sure it's free of symbolism you object to shouldn't take longer than pledging allegiance to it.
ironycanal@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 4 pts · 76d
Ideally you would never fucking do that because the smartest flag I ever saw could barely run DOOM

If you show this flag to a russian child they will be traumatized for life

global north flag
Cort@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 74d
Well except the southern cross constellation in the 4 o'clock position from the NATO star. That's definitely southern hemisphere.
libre_warrior@lemmy.ml · 5 pts · 74d
When Im saying global north, Im not speaking of the geographic north, but a political north.

How is pledging allegiance to any flag based? Especially not this one
Hegar@fedia.io · 12 pts · 75d
Yeah it's literally rainbow-washed US imperialism and that's enough for people to be like, "oh sweet, nationalism!"

How the hell are EU, Taiwan, Australia, Hongkong, Ukraine "US Imperialism"?
🇹🇼 🇺🇦 🇭🇰 are the prime example of antiimperialism. That alone is enough to look at this and go "hell yeah fuck them empires, based!"

It sounds like you already made trump a bigger part of your personality than trump voters do.
