      Well except the southern cross constellation in the 4 o’clock position from the NATO star. That’s definitely southern hemisphere.

    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.

            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.

    Ideally, scrutinizing a flag to make sure it’s free of symbolism you object to shouldn’t take longer than pledging allegiance to it.

            EU and Australia host major US military bases outside of the North American continent. Ukraine and Taiwan are closely allied with the US.

            They are all arms of the US empire along with others. You cannot be an underling of the world’s foremost imperialist power and be “the prime example of anti-imperialism”. That’s absurdity.

    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.
