global north flag

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

When Im saying global north, Im not speaking of the geographic north, but a political north.

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.

I'd imagine they're just american flag stars?

But one of them is smaller and has a little tail.

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

American stripes is a major stain on this.

Could be clown stripes?

Could be Cuba, USA are not the only one with those stripes

Cuba has blue stripes on theirs.

Could be Ohio

That's not better.

Well can't be USA, only 9 stripes, USA has 15

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.

15?

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

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

This needs to be salted, burnt, and desecrated

I think the best flag would be all the flags made into a photo mosaic of a big smiley face

I'm more like this.

What is this flag? I'm not familiar?

I made it to show what grounds my political thinking.

is that the Pepsi logo orbiting the NATO star? 🤣

EDIT: I have been informed it is part of the South Korean flag.

Morally equivalent and tastier.

Yes, and the red circle is for Coca-Cola

(Actually it's for South Korea)

my edit beat you by like two seconds 😅

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

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

Ideally you would never fucking do that because the smartest flag I ever saw could barely run DOOM

Based 🫡

How is pledging allegiance to any flag based? Especially not this one

Yeah it's literally rainbow-washed US imperialism and that's enough for people to be like, "oh sweet, nationalism!"

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 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!"

NATO aided in the invasion of libya.

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?

Lmfao

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.

cringe.

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.

Pledging allegiance to any flag is total bootlicker behaviour.

There's an exception, this flag:

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