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

Anyone know what stars the top left corner of the nato compass star represent?
I'd imagine they're just american flag stars?

This needs to be salted, burnt, and desecrated

Could be Ohio

That's not better.

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.

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 4 points 3 days ago
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

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

I'm more like this.

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

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

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!"

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?
ordnance_qf_17_pounder 2 points 2 days ago
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.
Hegar 15 points 3 days ago
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.

Flippant Anarchism. A lighter take on social criticism with the aim of agitation.
Post humorous takes on capitalism and the states which prop it up. Memes, shitposting, screenshots of humorous good takes, discussions making fun of some reactionary online, it all works.
This community is anarchist-flavored. Reactionary takes won't be tolerated.

Absolutely no right-wing jokes. This includes "Anarcho"-Capitalist concepts.
Absolutely no redfash jokes. This includes anything that props up the capitalist ruling classes pretending to be communists.
No bigotry whatsoever. See instance rules.
This is an anarchist comm. You don't have to be an anarchist to post, but you should at least understand what anarchism actually is. We're not here to educate you.
No shaming people for being anti-electoralism. This should be obvious from the above point but apparently we need to make it obvious to the turbolibs who can't control themselves. You have the rest of lemmy to moralize.

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.
